I saw a man trying to post a letter in our local box this week.

He seemed to be having some trouble, so I crossed over to see if there was a problem.
He was trying to scan his letter on the bar code thingy, but couldn't get the front of the box to drop down, to gain access.
I pointed out the narrow slit above this and he went away happy, after posting his letter :-D

No instructions at all and I've never seen a postie collecting, so I've no idea when that happens.

Hopefully he will get some fruit from it :-D My dad always liked to grow cucumbers and they always grew well in the greenhouse :-D
