Electricity and gas meter boxes, you can't beat em. Take a key with u and leave non-value items in them. It is counted as being behind a locked door as far as i know.

Why not Email Big Al before he shoots the crow, telling him that your manager (name of Delivery Office) at a recent WTLL session has specifically given his or her consent for all outdoor delivery staff to doorstep items namely light bulbs. In your and your work colleagues opinion, and in the interests of properly safeguarding the customers mail (INTEGRITY OF MAIL) this cannot be right (or words to that effect). Could you please give urgent CLARIFICATION to address this anomoly.

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 found this Industrial Tribunal decision regarding doorstepping, the postie concerned was sacked and the decision was upheld.
(1)On 26 September 2007, at approximately 2.00 pm, Mr Richard Jess, the claimant’s supervisor was approached at the delivery office in Dromore by a member of the public who indicated that there had been difficulties with the delivery of her mail and her neighbour’s mail. She also indicated that a parcel had been left lying at a front door in the estate. When he received this information, Mr Jess went out to Primrose Way and noticed that numbers 1, 6, 8, 12 and 16 all had letters hanging out of their letterboxes and that at number 12 there was a recorded delivery packet lying at the front door. He reported this to his District Manager, Mr David Hamill. He took a photograph of the package and letter at the address and left a form P739 at number 12 Primrose Way for the recorded delivery packet in accordance with proper Royal Mail procedure.
