A Bristol postman had to be rescued by the fire service after he accidentally locked himself inside his van.

Avon Fire and Rescue said a crew from Bedminster station was called to the post office in Weston Road, Long Ashton at about 17:45 GMT on Wednesday.

The firemen used hydraulic spreaders to break open the back door of the van to free the postman trapped inside.

A spokesman said the call took seven minutes and was a "routine rescue dealt with quickly and efficiently".

Royal Mail was unavailable for comment.

Was he on strike?

How did anyone know he was in there ? :shock:
And "a crew from Bedminster" reminds me of lock-ins at the Windmill, Bedminster, long ago when it was a Davenports pub. :nana :nana

Bristol SEDO I thought stood for South East Delivery Office - perhaps it actually means Striking, entertaining, Doors (not) Opening. :nervous :nervous :nervous :nervous

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

I do remember some of these incidents a few years ago, I am surprised its still happening, its a Health & safety hazard, what if it was on fire, a flood or a really hot day overheating the van, there should already have a handle to open from the inside.
