Phone the police tell them two strangers eyeing you're van up and following you then let them answer questions...

Round our way a couple of " suits " are likely to end up hogtied and hidden in a barn , even people born in the village are not considered local !!!

Think Hot Fuzz and " the greater good "......

I had been with RM about Two & half/three years when I was pulled some 18 months or so back. Despite repeated requests to the managers, I was not issued with an ID. The two who pulled me were sound. All was in order and they seemed fairly laid back. They automatically showed their ID without asking. When they asked for mine, I explained the situation and they weren't too interested. One just muttered something about "lazy managers".

As I said these two were okay. I'm sure there are plenty of a/holes who would take it further. At the end of the day, if RM haven't issued you with an ID despite you requesting one, its not really your problem, but your manager who would face the music surely.

I'm a postie within my first six months and sometimes notice people acting/ positioned strangely whilst out on delivery. I've heard lots of horror stories about them so think I'm just paranoid. I'm moved about a lot so never get to know the customers. Just wondered if they were watching me would they eventually make themselves known, ask to see ID or anything, check van or whatever? Can they be on private property or only in a public area?

Thanks in advance.

Never seen or spoken to one in 20 years, apart from the ones that come in and collar a tea leaf now and again. They can do checks but do the job right and you won't have a problem.
