Eleven postal workers were reportedly suspended by Royal Mail after having a cup of tea at a local pub. The suspension action was taken after workers were found to have been taking their breaks at the Caernarvon Castle pub in Prenton, Merseyside, though locals say they were only ever seen drinking tea and coffee.Complaints flooded in with locals saying the tea break created a major disruption to postal services in the Oxton and Prenton area of the Wirral, Liverpool.
