THE heartless Falkirk postman who left a pensioner lying in the snow has been blasted by a fellow postie who says he’s been left “ashamed and embarrassed” by what happened.

“You build up trust, provide a job for the community, without the public there is no Royal Mail.
“To some we are like the postal emergency services, people get messages (shopping) for people, pick up prescriptions.
“It’s still the middle of a pandemic, we’ve collected test kits , track and trace, taken it to the centres and brought it back. A year down the line, we’re still doing all of that.
“We’re doing a lot of good, but he’s let us down big style, big big style.
“I don’t think any human being should behave like that.”
