Posties probably staff to romp whereas ‘on the job’ as they’ve ‘ample time’

Posties are the most likely workers to romp while “on the job”.

The UK’s army of around 160,000 postmen and women have “ample” time and opportunity for extra-curricular activities, a poll by married dating site Illicit Encounters found. One postie – called James – confessed he’d had two flings while on his rounds.

He said: ‘I’ve been working as a postman for three years now and I’ve met two other women while on my rounds. It adds a bit of excitement…you never know who is going to open the door.”

A spokesman for Illicit Encounters said: “Our study of 2,000 self-confessed cheats has found that some are getting lucky during the working day.

“We found that those working in the postal services were most likely to use the time to carry on an affair.”

Jessica Leoni, sex and relationships expert for Illicit Encounter, said: “The postal sector isn’t the most glamorous job, so it’s understandable people look for excitement elsewhere.”
