Royal Mail have been forced to seal up a postbox for public health reasons - because somebody keeps posting human POO in it.

The foul saga started last October when two post boxes in Galley Hill were found to be smeared with excrement.

At first it was assumed to be a nasty prank with dog mess, said Alderman Paul Bartlett. “But then it was discovered it was human poo. It makes one’s stomach turn,” he said. Since then - despite warnings that police and Royal Mail are investigating, the phantom poo-er has struck several times.

All the post boxes have been in the Galley Hill area. Last week residents were disgusted to find the culprit has struck again on the estate.

The incident has been reported to police. There was even a “fake poo” attack, where lumps of mud were posted inside another box.

Mr Barlett, who is a member of Stony Stratford Town Council, is now asking for CCTV to be installed in strategic places and also for DNA tests to be carried out in a bid to catch the offender. Residents believe the same person is responsible for human poo being found in nearby back gardens.

“Whoever it is really sick and disturbed. Why on earth would they want to do this to people?” said one.

Royal Mail have now cleaned and sealed up the most recently targeted box until police catch the culprit.

“We cannot put the the public, our staff or mail at risk,” said a local manager.

“There is no other option open to us for employee and public safety/health than to seal the box temporaily until Thames Valley Police. Employee and public safety and health are paramount.”

How? Who gives a sh*t?

Somebody apparently does.
Quite regularly in fact....

It's bad assumptive journalism, the sort crap the Commies and other dictators use. Make a statement, make it vehemently, repeat it often enough and it's accepted unquestioningly by the plebs. The BBC have it down to a fine art.

How, and by whom is this 'fact' established? Video footage of a masked figure stealthily creeping up to the pillar box with a collapsible frame, assembling it, climbing into it, placing their ar$e by the slot and projectile-cr*pping into it? Or some hooded figure been caught dumping special forces-style into a lock 'n seal plastic bag and then seen emptying the contents into the said pillar box? Or maybe there's a mysterious 8-foot tall resident who only comes out at night 'the phantom dumper' whose butt is actually level with the letter slot?

I just cannot see somebody walking to it, one of their own steaming Richards delicately laid on clingfilm and posting it. More likely a dog walker emptying the mutt's deposits in there.

I would just be interested to know how certain they are it's a human log, not a dog's.

Believe it or not, there are websites that offer to identify scat and faecal matter.

I am off for a shower now.

Yes, it wouldn't surprise me. A sort of 'Log my log' service?
