advice please-angry postman

In your original post you say you assumed the postman would use the post box in the porch. I would just leave a note on the door to ask him to do just that.

It does not say here that you have to have a door bell only a letter box.

Its hard to see why the postman wont deliver, I havent got a working door bell, and the postman just bangs on the door!!

No you are not obliged to leave the porch unlocked. Mail goes through the letterbox. If something is too big then postman uses whatever infrastructure is available to attract your attention be it doorbell/knocker or just physically knocking on door. If no reply, leave card,,simples.

It is not his place to get angry with customers. Having said that, there is a lot of stress about. A postman told me that if he doesnt deliver packages and brings them back, i can be spoken to/disciplined,,which if true is ridiculous..

oh its true,and then some

Do you have Twitter? Fire off a tweet to RM and they'll get someone to investigate straight away. I did the same when a driver nearly ran me over and the response was instant. Saves pennies in phone calls and stamps, too!

If you are writing to RM/a delivery office etc
then theres no need for a stamp

Thanks everyone. I'll stand my ground and keep the porch locked. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't in the wrong. Thank you
