Do letterboxes need modernising?

BT Homehubs aren't the problem. I've seen some letterboxes you couldn't get a CD through....I jest not!

I've had to P739 a love film before today

Oh come on a lot of people can't even manage to put a number on their house, can't expect them to have a decent letterbox.

Here Here. But what about the people who put numbers on their waste bins, but not on their house. Many times have I discovered the house number by looking at the bin.

Some people are too posh to put a number on there door ,p

Especially when one moves into one's new home, removes the perfectly serviceable number from the outside and then gives one's house a pretentious name?

Know what you mean Coke....It really Burns my Ass as well. Had a new built, they ignored the Number and called it "Done Roaming", or some such BS. I started putting on the Red..."Dear Customer this mail doesn't show your correct postal address ..." Stickers (which I think are a great idea and I use loads! It draws the customers attention to the fact that about 3 posties have wasted their time trying to figure out WTF!

When I got a chance to talk to the customer I pointed out there was another "Done Roaming" literally 20m away on the other side of the road...AND another one about 100m around the corner! "That's why we like customers to use their full address Sir"!

Yes we have a very posh road, the numbering now goes 3, 3a, Sundance, 3b, outlook. Nightmare

Is the last house on Elm Street.

Ha Ha Very Good Clash!

I've also encountered an upside down letter box, this is actually surprisingly dangerous as it springs back and traps your fingers

If the letterbox is incorrectly fitted and therefore dangerous or likely to cause harm then the Manager should be informed and the householder informed of their responsibilities. If the defect isn't addressed then deliveries should be suspended.

Worth Remembering TBT....But do you really think those idle buggers are going to was any time trying to sort those type of problems? Really hate those ones where the spring stabs you in the end of the finger Ouch!
