toilet brakes on rounds
Ok so I've been a postman for 7 months (still haven't got any uniform just a high vis vest!) On most my rounds there isn't toilet facilities, so I've gone for a slash where I can, such as in woodlands or down trailways that I pass etc. Would I get fired if somebody spotted me and reported me? I can't physically hold in a pee for 6 or so hours!

Not only would you get fired you'd could be charged in some circumstances it would depend on the situation...........trevjim wrote:Ok so I've been a postman for 7 months (still haven't got any uniform just a high vis vest!)

The Public Order Act, 1986, section 5 and hundreds of local authority/railway bylaws are involved in deciding whether the person urinating was committing an offence and that it all boils down to common sense and individual circumstances – i.e. how much effort the person was making not to blatantly urinate in people’s faces (figuratively speaking). http://bizarrebritain.com/is-urinating- ... e-offence/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

A customer caught one of our posties p*ssing on his garden and complained, he didn't get sacked, nor has anyone else at our office who's been seen and reported.

Re: toilet brakes on rounds
I dont do this all the time, but as it's park and loop and a good few miles from the office, I don't think my colleague would appreciate having to drive back to it. Also it's not in peoples gardens or drives haha. May just have to practice holding it next time!

Re: toilet brakes on rounds
If you are sensible and make every attempt to do it in a reasonable place you will not get sacked,especially with a lot of local authorities closing public toilets,we only have 1 in our whole town.
For we were soldiers once,and young

Perhaps you should ask the manager what the toileting arrangements are for your delivery because there should be.

Touch wood, in the 6 months of being a postwoman, I've never needed to go while out delivering. I make sure I go before I leave the office and don't drink too much on my round. God knows what I'd do if I did, it's not like I can lob it out anywhere.

Re: toilet brakes on rounds
I have a piss in places where the public have access, but as most people would rather die of a heart attack than actually walk anywhere, the rural footpaths I use are rarely used. Funny that this has been posted because I was nearly caught the other day by what were clearly some eccentric nutters who were actually out for a walk...I ask you, whatever next.
If I came across someone having a piss in public (male or female) I couldn't give a toss. What is wrong with people who get offended by this?
