Nottingham neighbours 'annoyed and upset' after Royal Mail postman seen urinating on house

Nottingham neighbours 'annoyed and upset' after Royal Mail postman seen urinating on house The incident was captured on a Ring doorbell camera as the postie was doing the rounds in Wollaton, despite a Post Office being located just across the road A Royal Mail postman has been caught on camera urinating at the front of a house in Nottingham. The incident, which left the occupants of the property "annoyed and upset" was captured on a Ring doorbell camera while the culprit was on his rounds. No one was home at the time when the postman walked up to the property in Wollaton, a suburb in Nottingham, at around 11.30am on Saturday. The footage shows him unzipping his shorts before relieving himself up a wall next to a gate to the garden. The mother of a woman living at the property in question told the Nottingham Post: "Our camera gave us an alert but by the time it picked him up, he had left. Otherwise we would’ve shouted down the camera 'what are you doing?'." The woman, who wished to remain anonymous, added that she had sympathy for the postman if his need was truly urgent, but was perplexed regarding his decision as a Post Office is located just down the road. She said: "I don’t know if he realised we had a camera capturing that. "What upsets me is, two houses down, literally less than two minutes away, there is a Post Office. He could’ve gone there. "We were quite annoyed and upset. We thought he could have at least tried knocking on the door. He didn’t even attempt to ask a neighbour." The woman added: "I can be sympathetic. He was a bit older and maybe it was urgent. We’re just very annoyed that there’s a Post Office literally opposite the house. He must know it’s there." Royal Mail apologised for the unfortunate incident and said it was investigating it to "establish the full circumstances". The occupants of the property received an email stating Royal Mail was "very sorry to hear of your recent experience with one of our colleagues". "The majority of our employees are courteous and polite, with a strong customer focus. I apologise you were not treated respectfully on this occasion," it said. The correspondence continued: "To deal with this problem, and based on the information you've provided, I have logged and reported the full details of your complaint and passed the details to the appropriate manager to take the necessary action to ensure this does not happen again. "Once again, please accept my sincere apologies on behalf of Royal Mail for the problem you've had. I hope that the action and explanation above resolves your enquiry and concludes this matter for you. A Royal Mail spokesperson said: "We are currently investigating this incident. While we are still establishing the full circumstances, this is not the standard of behaviour we expect from our people."
