Postman Pat

Postman Pat is a British animated children's television character, a friendly rural mail carrier who delivers post in the fictional village of Greendale with his black-and-white cat Jess.

The show debuted in 1981 and became a staple of British children's programming.

The name sometimes appears as gentle shorthand for postal workers generally: Our Postman Pat comes round about eleven.
