More or less than union subs :Very Happy & is it more beneficial :hmmmm
I've heard of it before, also heard of the dog taking offence when someone else shows up with no biccies :chuckle
Seriosly though, if a dog is that bad, just don't go near the place, endorse mail "dog at large", and return.

amen... had that on a walk i did 2 or 3 years back... turns out the regular carried dog biscuit with her... dogs went ape sh*t when i want offering them anything... even had one owner moan at me because "the normal postie giver her (the dog) a biscuit" ...

should be a rule in black and white... no postie to feed any animal on a round... cos the next guy or girl that does the duty doesnt know to do that, and he/she gets their f*cking backside munched on :d'oh! :mad

besides.. even if i had known to carry biscuits for the dog... i would have been out of pocket (at my own cost).. and my hand would have been stiinking like dog biscuits till i could get home and get my hand washed :Sick

we were told in a huddle by a manager that carrying dog biscuits is now officially banned and should not be done,because it causes problems for other postmen who follow.

I was told when I first started with RM not to do this.
Does this rag smell of chloroform to you?

Was a postie in Brighton used to do that with my dog while he was on a leash, walking by my side. Hated it as he was on a wheat free diet due to stomach problems. Gave me a lot of sht to clean up!

Well it's a bit of a ball ache really because I had trained my dog to bite anyone giving him treats if they were dressed in blue and whistling............course it's a whole new ball game now the uniforms changed :whistle

I take them,I'm out in the hills all day.Lots of farms and big houses.All the dogs apart from 2 are great and i enjoy giving them a fuss,the 2 in question,1 is kept in and the other has a redirection to another property off the round.Canny grumble at that really. :Very Happy
