Royal Mail van ferrying kids to school

[mazungu]

When walking with my son to Dulwich Village Infants School two weeks ago, I observed the driver of a Royal Mail van draw up and then offload two infants whom he took into the school yard at 08:50am.

I traced the van to the Highshore Road Delivery Office.

Such use is unauthorised across all of Royal Mail.

The infants were at risk because none of RM's he vans are equipped with child seating . The van insurance would also be invalid because of the non-business use.

I did report it to RM but the mis-use continued for another two weeks.

If you see this happening, please report it to 020 7441 7751

wow

Should I see this happening, I have absolutely no intention of reporting it to anyone.

I find that response quite concerning given that none of the occupants in the vehicle are insured and without proper seating or restraints.

How would you feel if the pilot of an aircraft you were a passenger in had two kids on the flight deck?

Maybe you just don't like the idea of dobbing somebody in when they are breaking the rules. If so, how would you feel if you smelt alcohol on the breath of your pilot?

Times are hard right now for many people

You could potentially be making this man & his family homeless!

Instead of reporting him why did you not either raise your concerns with him or even put a note on his windscreen!

Some people need to get a life

I hope something never happens to you to disrupt your life in any way!

There’s a thing called karma, be careful it doesn’t come back & bite you!

“If so, how would you feel if you smelt alcohol on the breath of your pilot?”

I am unable to see any connection this question has with the matter you have posted on.

As long as they weren't flying it I would have no problems

Unless of course one of them was Joe90

well said

The alleged actions may have been unwise, and outwith PO regulations, but (1) there may be a back-story here in mitigation and (2) possibly making a person lose his job (that will really benefit his children, won't it?) and even be prosecuted seems a disproportionate outcome.

I'm afraid Covid-19 regulations and alleged breaches of them have brought out the Stasi under the skin in some people. A note on the windscreen might well have been sufficient. Acting to protect children (which is what I assume happened here) may have brought unintended consequences (well, clearly not unintended I suppose) which will be far more damaging to the family.

[smooch]

what a rather mean spirited post.... if any of the doom and gloom you raised occurred it would be for the driver to deal with not you.

[sweetgirl]

The OP is nothing more than a local busybody!

Unfortunately we do have quite a few in the area

[NewWave]

The OP saddens me.

I pray the guy doesn't lose his job over this.

God knows times are hard, maybe the other parent was unwell and unable to do the school run.

If it bothers you wait until he's dropped the kids off and have a polite word but please I beg you dont put a father's job at risk over this.

Unfortunately it is very much the society we live in nowadays - and we see examples of it daily be that twitter trolls and actively trying to get Cllr McAsh sacked from his job, cyclists gleefully filming driver indiscretions and reporting them to get them fined or this instance. If everyone could just live and let live the world would be a much nicer place.

This thread is by one of our sad, old trolling friends.

It is made up and a lie, please ignore it
