my 19 year old son was threatened by a drug addict with a cricket bat today - they mentioned dangerous dogs at his induction meeting on Thursday, but nothing about crack heads with cricket bats !!!
Apparently this 'gentleman'...... was agrieved because his giro cheque had not arrived on time - my son has this summer job with the Royal Mail and was delivering post this afternoon, because the usual postman was off sick.
My son is 6ft 3" tall, but this prat threatened him with a cricket bat - other residents of the flats wanted to call the police, but my son said no - there was another bag of post in the van, with the smack head's giro cheque amongst it - when my son delivered the cheque to his door, he apologised and even shook my son's hand. Strange - 10 minutes before he wanted to bash his brains in with the cricket bat.
Hey DEN, I hope that horrible experience hasn't put your son off doing the job. Most folk love to see the postie come. That bloke's behaviour was bizarre.
