    I beg to differ.

    I used to be a CEO (traffic warden). One of my colleagues was attacked by a dog on the public highway. The councils insurers paid out thousands in compensation.

    public highway isnt the same as a private residence

    She went out to find out why and one of them told her that the other had 'cut his finger' on the latch of her gate this morning. He held up an index finger which was covered with the worlds smallest plaster.

    it could be RM proving the postie was at fault in their injury

    Er you did understand what the op wrote didn't you?

    RM wouldn't send the affected person to check out something like that, it would be a CONFLICT OF INTEREST.

    I said RM would try and prove it was the posties fault
    so the postie in question could be taking pictures for their use

    Well, we've heard nothing more and Mum hasn't seen the postie so far this week. Gate hasn't maimed anyone else over the last 4 days so I'm assuming its safe hehe

    Thats cos he's off having stress related disorder, nightmares, unable to face work etc etc.

    Desperate people will try desperate measures.
