She used to get her mail in the First Pouch, nice & early. I then used to save her mail until last and deliver it just before I returned to the Office. When she asked why she was getting her mail later I told her, "I have to spend much longer now trying to find a Restaurant, or Pub, so that I can use their toilet"! The moral of this story is don't piss the Postie Off... he knows where you live.

well said

When I started I was on a purely residential round with a HCT. When I asked the question about where was I supposed to use the loo Management told me to knock on someone's door. Unbelievable!

I do love a duty with shops and toilets. Loo stops can be a huge problem for us ladies!!!!!!!!

Name calling post removed

If someone has a different position to you please respect their right to have differing views, and enjoy yourself when picking holes in their position in a constructive way. We would much rather have a long winded well thought out argument, picking out weak points in someone's position, than have a thread full of 1 line insults.

Why not just ask the homeowner if it’s a residential round, I would be happy for postie to use the loo or are you not allowed to? If that’s the case then it’s crazy. If your bringing the post it’s no hassle as far as I’m concerned.

I did that few times if I didn`t have any bussiness on my route, I`m not ashamed that I`m human and I need a toilet and can`t wait few more hours.
I also ask for a drink if I finished mine, a glass of tap water is free and people are always happy to help.

Totally agree, while I do not work for Royal Mail, I am a grateful customer who has his mail delivered by a great postie come rain or shine.
You folks do a fantastic job for us, so the very least we can do is let you use the loo or have drink.

I quite agree but what if Homeowner says something has gone missing and blames it on Postie? It's a minefield!!!!!!

Worked in many offices and have never seen one of these folders up to date. When put on new walk I used to look to see where to park, loops, hazards etc. But all I find 9 times out of 10 is a layer of dust and streets not even on walk. Complete waste of time.
Can guarantee most folders have not been touched since whenever last revision was. And I don't think any Ive seen mention anything about toilet breaks.

Well you have two choices urinate in the street or return to office all this bull about shops and public lavatory's is not a feasible option in most cases anymore!
