Hi liverpoolfoo - thats terrible about the hyperdermic needle - I suppose post boxes are just too tempting for some idiots. Who would have thought being a postman could be so hazardous. If I was you, liverpoolfoo, I would wear very thick gardening gloves when emptying them post boxes !!
Obviously, what my son encountered today (Saturday) was a drug user, waiting for his giro. My son had already delivered one giro to that address, and this was for the drugees' wife - thats when he came charging out of his flat and started shouting at my son 'where the fu��king hell is my giro' - (as if the postman is going to know that !) and then proceeded to wave a cricket bat around, saying 'I will get you when you come back, you bas$$rd' .
I'll tell you something, liverpoolfoo - if the smack head had attacked my son - it would have been the last giro he would have opened - I'd have been round there with more than a cricket bat !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
