Gold postboxes

Post by Mick Norris » Mon Aug 06, 2012 6:27 pm

I am hoping to take my daughter to see the gold postbox in Bolton town centre in the next few days

Brilliant again from Jason Kenny tonight

Does anybody know what the black boxes behind the seats in the Olympic stadium are for?

We saw the Bolton postbox the other evening, even used it to post some letters

Off to Chorley now to see the Bradley Wiggins postbox on the way to lunch in Bradley's home village of Eccleston

Had dinner the other night with an old University friend who was saying how good the Water Polo was the previous Saturday, and it had only taken them an hour from parking near Lords to get into the venue including tube journeys

Nice to see and hear so many positive stories for a change

These gold postboxes are a great idea. We saw the one in Alcester Warks, painted in recognition of Nick Skelton the other day.

I spotted one in Sherborne (Dorset). It looked very impressive. A local shopkeeper eagerly told me it was for a shooting gold and even knew the score of the competitor. It obviously meant a lot to the inhabitants of a smallish town and a great idea by the post office. The special stamps are also a great idea. Somone in PO Marketing should get a big bonus!
