From lingerie clad ladies to accidental drug deliveries and interrupting sex sessions – the secret life of a postie
Share:
A SEPARATED dad-of-five, Scott Bees, 35, from Ely, Cardiff, worked as a Royal Mail postman for four years, but is now a university student. As it was revealed, posties were the profession most likely to cheat, he gave a warts and all look behind the scenes to Anna Roberts:.

JUMPING out of the van and grabbing my loaded post bag I felt a surge of pride. After two months training as a ‘floater’, filling in when other posties were off sick, I’d finally been given my first regular round. I was 24, married and had finally got the stamp of approval - I had a Royal Mail round and I was getting to know the regulars I delivered to.

But I soon realised being a postman wasn't just about letters drops and parcel handovers. Instead I was initiated into a world of scantily clad ladies, sex mad pensioners and topless titillation. Red lingerie and lippy at 9am. Most people are not at home when you deliver their post. And if they are, they usually answer the door in casual clothes or PJs, a casual ‘thanks’.

Not so Betty*, a woman in her 40s, who was the talk of the sorting office. She lived in a pretty terraced house in the area of Cardiff where I delivered. At first, I didn’t know what had hit me but just one week into my new round her front door swung open as I passed.

Looking up, I did a double take. Because instead of trackie bottoms and a hoodie she was clad in red lingerie, heels and bright red lippie. I had nowhere to look as I muttered ‘here’s your post ma’am’, practically threw her letters at her and raced off.
