Confused postboxes in Swindon

Post by Terryk »

We seem to have a rash of Pillar Boxes in Swindon with a 15 minute delay between the final collection on one side of the box to the other!

This one even has a Sunday collection (apparently :) )

How hard is it to get the two plates to agree - and when were the last Sunday collections? Oct 2007?

Sometimes the managers aren't told but mostly they won't change it because someone in HQ says that that postbox only needs one plate and so they only get one plate...................of course it wouldn't be too difficult to just remove the wrong one and leave it empty.
