Postmen 'spy' for address database

 

Postmen are being turned into hi-tech spies by the Royal Mail under a scheme that will see them record the position of every address in the country.
They will patrol streets using a satellite location device to capture the precise longitude, latitude and altitude of each home and business.
In future, the Royal Mail could sell the information to firms such as Google to improve mapping services.
