My daughter calls me Mammy, always, my son lets it slip out now and then

I'm so confused. What a language barrier.

Theres usually a couple hundred in a town that the public use instead of small individual ones outside houses

Oh, I'd still call that a mail box but I think some people may call it a post box or drop box. Post office mail box

Looks pretty different though lol.

Those are good, late collection times 6:00pm and 0:00. A lot of the ones here were put back to about 9 in the morning.

Oh yeh, I guess these are the same as postboxes. I'll let your internet image off this time, but I'll be waiting to readily scrutinise the next one.

Yeah mine too. God knows where this postbox is. Imagine a postman saying he cant go to the pub, he's on the late shift! What a world.
