Lucky that doesn't apply these days, well actually in the last 25 years in my case , just today I would have been sacked 12 times. :nervous

not true, its still a possible outcome, you are normally suspended to protect the security of the mail or if there is a risk to another member of staff,

All w*****s drive Porsche's when they ask you to lapse and they don't think there is a problem with being called so by a humble postman who rides a bicycle to work!

Update: The bloke had a disciplinary meeting last week, even though he was on official leave. He was told he'll have to wait around a week to find out what's going to happen. In the meantime he's been sent to a local office to work.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.
