Postbox ignored for 23 years.
Lmao I actually found this rather amusing, idk where to put it...:
Postmen failed to collect letters from a postbox at one of the country’s busiest railway stations for 23 years.
Quote:
Builders working on the renovation of Birmingham New Street Station found the
dusty letters dating back to 1989 when they removed the box last week.
Workers say they cannot understand how the letters escaped the notice of
postmen. The box was in full view of thousands of travellers for more than two
decades.
Royal Mail is trying to deliver the letters to their rightful destinations.
Officials say they cannot understand why the postage was not collected.
The box was sealed earlier this year after rail commuters complained that
they caught their fingers in the narrow flap. An “out of action” sign was hung
across it.
One postal worker said: “We didn’t know it was there, to be honest."
...
“We believe customers continued to post letters, oblivious to the fact it was
not being emptied.”
.
I know the postal service is bad but just... loool.
