Why does the fact that he is of African descent have anything to do with it may I ask?

Why do you want to know?

Maybe he was planning to spend a penny in your porch? In a plant pot or something?

It seems really very odd that he was inside your porch. I'm guessing you have your main outer door he could have knocked on if he genuinely needed to?

funny you should say that I have a cactus and a lemon geranium (which I incidentally do forget to water ), and the way he was lingering it did cross my mind. But I guess as the car was running he knew I was in

op, it does sound odd to me. Would he have know that you might have been on your own?

that's the one thing that's bugging me to be honest as I live alone and none of my neighbours do.


Anyway, THANKS to all the normal minded people, you have stopped me acting on emotion and complaining as I was quite worried. Might be me pregnancy hormones.

I will give him another chance even if he is African (JOKE :beer:).

Yes I left the car unattended. Very naughty my insurance wouldn't touch my claim with a barge pole if the keys were in it.

I see the postie on my way out regularly enough to be fairly certain he knows I live alone, which makes it all the more peculiar he should chose to ask to enter MY house. I'm surrounded by older couples and their families. Will just be careful. If I catch him letting himself into my porch again I'll make a complaint about both times.

or he saw your car running and assumed there would be someone in
if you needed the toilet desperatly
could you hold it in and walk a "5 minute drive"s distance?

OP

Haven't you thouht that he may have been genuine and desperate for a pee?

Your house may have looked like the only one on the rd with someone in and up and out of bed ( car running on driveway ) and he bult up courage to knock and asked if he could use the loo?

Leaving letters hanging out the door isn't a sackable offence. A lot of houses have very strong springs on the letterboxes, mine doesnt but all my post gets caught up in the draught excluder brushes and is always 1/2 way in the house. My next door neighbours letterbox is viscious, I got my finger jammed yesterday posting their Xmas card.

If you have had no reason in the past to complain about him, I wouldn't worry about it. My postie is a doddering old fool who keeps me waiting at the door in my PJ's whist he works out how to use the Recorded delivery machine. It was bleeding freezing the other day ! But he does his job and why should I complain that I don't personally like him?

its not delivery spec
the letters shouldnt be showing on the outside
however they dont need pushed all they way through the inside

So why did he let himself into her porch, instead of knocking on the outer door?

I do think it is odd that he was calling to your door for a pee when he had no letters for you.

I am a mobile worker and like everyone else, i need to have a pee occasionally..i also have a rest/nap,have my lunch etc in my vehicle.

I have a container to have a discreet pee in and decant it down the nearest drain.
