Allan Smethurst (1927–2000), aka The Singing Postman
Allan Smethurst hummed tunes on his daily post round in Sheringham for twelve years. He always wrote and sung songs in his native Norfolk dialect. He is probably best known for his self-penned novelty song, ‘Hev Yew Gotta Loight, Boy?’, which earned him an Ivor Novello Award in 1966, and ‘A Miss from Diss’.
