Some of the comments are priceless:
The Royal Mail must have the most inept management in the country and these petty 'rules' are pathetic in the extreme.

The major problem with Royal Mail is idiots in management not the postmen/women.

So Royal Mail management considers their employees to be TOO STUPID to be allowed to exercise their own judgement when it comes to crossing a quiet road in safety.......................? Have any managers been belted in the mouth for insulting the postmen in this way? When does the strike start?

Sensible rules by the Conservative Council hopefully this will annoy postmen enough that they all leave thus saving the redundancy payments when David Cameron sells it off next year.
