When we get our invite to attend Grand Tour I try each year to beat my own record of opening, reading the rules signing it, writing cheque and envelope and for a change getting up to the corner of the road where the pillar box is, quicker than Domino. My best is 11 minutes.
Shock , horror last night. There was a notice on the pillar box saying they are moving it along the road. Another 3 minute walk. What can I do? Do you think they might have a re-think if I tell them why I need it close.

you've got over a year to train - maybe you can add in the longer trip to the letterbox and match your previous best?

Knowing Royal Mail as I do....... They will just move it regardless of anything! For example I went out on my collection round about 5 months ago and was approaching Goodleigh (we go through for the grand tour) the box was always outside the post office but that had closed down some weeks beforehand...... Because the box was half in the hedge you didnt see it until u were up close...... I come down the hill like I had done for the past 12 years and pulled up to the box!!!!!!!!!!! Got the key and got out my van..... with key in hand went to the box........ only to find it wasnt there............... for a moment it didnt register........... I thought wheres the box someone has knicked it!!!!!! I stood and thought they could have given me a bit of a clue as to where it was now located.......... I felt a right plank!! (nuffin new there ) So then had to go looking for said box!!!!! There was no notice and they didnt even tell me..........!!!!!!!!!! So all I can say is any hope of it stayin where it is is VERY slim!!!!!!!

What a wonderful story - where did you find the box?
How life has changed since I worked on the post office. They even did telegrams when I was there and I had to maintain their bikes along with the other vehicles they had. Morris Minors, Mini Vans, HA Viva vans etc life was exciting then now what have I got.
BEAR FORCE ONE Terry is a muppet on the end of the arm of Tony Bear I LOOK, I LISTEN, I LEARN AND TAKE A STEP CLOSER TO THE FUNNY FARM EVERYDAY Bear force One. Working thrice as hard, for thrice as many children, getting to the funny farm three times as quickly Not long to go now then.

HA Vivas - that brings back memories.
My parents' first car was a 1965 HA Viva, which I learnt to drive in 10 years later. (As well as a Hillman Imp and Avenger at the driving school.)
