US mailboxes have always puzzled me .. thanks folks.
Country mailboxes around here can be anything from old gearbox casings and fridges to plastic icecream containers on posts .. but most are large milkcans turned sideways. No locks on any of 'em .. gee wouldn't it be a shame if someone took your bills. My favorite letterbox is a raised 5 gallon drum a few miles down the road that's bottom half is completely rusted out .. any mail goes sailing in the wind .. the bloke doesn't like mail i guess lol.
Yadirf your picture reminds me of a new brother who quietly threatened to stick the watchtower and awake up a householders bum if he didn't take 'em. (the man sheepishly went and got the money)
.. true story - bro Rouse of Fulham Gdnes is a big man lol.
