Chris Armstrong

Played by Sandy Nelson, Chris is Craiglang's local postman. Not exactly the brightest young lad, it often falls to one of the older gentlemen to explain a situation to him. Chris seems to be a very lazy postman, and often leaves "Sorry You Were Out" cards deliberately, because he can't be bothered delivering people's parcels. He does have his uses, however, as can be seen in the 2005 Christmas Special when he helps Tam to dispose of his Christmas cards for delivery into the canal. In Series 5, it was revealed that he previously worked as a Painter and Decorator when Isa hires him to redecorate her flat.
