It iss literally, "The postman always knocks twice" ,
but our word for " ring" as in a bell is to "knock" or
"hit" as in hitting a bell in the old days.
( Incidentally the Irish for "bell" is the same as that
for "clock," presumably because the church bell was the
time keeper in the days before everyone had clocks, so
when they got clocks they named them after the bell)
So the " The postman always rings twice"
And with luck he will soon.
The rest of ye for the moment will have to make do with
a virtual G and T .
