Gold Post Boxes......

[ELVIS68]

Anyone got one nearby yet?

Drove past the one they did for Laura Trott earlier and there was a queue of people waiting to have their photo taken next to it.

There is one in Farnworth, Bolton where Jason Kenny hails from, as a Boltonian well done Jason.

are they getting rid of the pillar box reds ? why ?

[ELVIS68]

Dee Sa, royal mail are painting a post box in the hometown of everyone who wins a gold for team GB

[Kiki-frog]

We're getting one near us for Peter Reed, one of the rowers.

Someone sent me a pic of the Farnworth one Mick - nice to meet a fellow Boltonian. :-)


Maj that is awful!!

[magicmick]

Royal Mail said they would paint a box Gold for every Gold won by a person who lives in that area, so now they may have to do another box in Farnworth. They will not be getting rid of the red boxes

[ladyalex]

I think it is a smashing idea.
Nothing near me, but I still think it's great.

[magicmick]

I worked at Royal Mail for forty years and I know the guy well who paints the boxes, thanks for that mamy dinner now we must have a owd natter some time.

[ELVIS68]

I might paint the one in our village gold tonight

That'll get the locals bemused

[magicmick]

Lol Elvis don't get any paint on your white jump suit

Who introduced pillar boxes in the UK?
Where was the 1st one?
No Googling.

[Maydup]

We're still hoping for one near us! Fingers crossed for GB in the boxing.

[magicmick]

I should know warton Anthony Trollop and Jersey ring a bell but not 100℅

[Old_Geezer]

And there was I assuming all post boxes would be sold off (much as the telephone booths are) now we have e-mail. Perhaps the lucky ones will bid for the gold variety.

magicmick
I can't give you 'Best Answer' but I can award you a 'gold'. Get on the podium, "God save.....".

[magicmick]

I have a pillar box in my back garden can I paint that gold warton?

[Wharton]

Of course you can magicmick, er...there's a question buzzing around my head...

[magicmick]

Go on

[Wharton]

I'll post it to you.
