Goofs[]
- As Pat and Julian stand in the door way of the post office, a wall which was not there before can be seen in the middle of the road.
- At some points, Pat's mail bag disappears from the back of his bicycle.

- When Pat first sees P.C. Selby and Lucy, a house with a crooked letter slot can be seen.
- Julian should be able to recognise traffic cones when he sees them.
- When Pat arrives at the football match, he says "Morning, Mrs. Goggins." without moving his lips and despite the fact he already said it earlier.
- It is quite unlikely that it would still be morning by the time Pat arrived at the football match.
- At one point when Pat dodges Doctor Gilbertson during the match, he says "Weeeee!" without moving his lips.
- When Pat scores his first goal, a rod can be seen holding the ball in the air as it flies off the pitch.
- At the end of the match, Bill says "Easy!" with his mouth open all the time.
- Pat usually leaves his van outside his house before work but for some reason he has left it outside the post office.
