We have those type here in Aus. Don't like it at all - I miss the drop of

letters thru the letter box, the snails eat the mail if I'm not quick, it get

wet when it rains, and I hate the thought of people being able to get at my

mail.

Our newspapers are delivered US style too - rolled up in cling film and then

thrown on the lawn - so I have to wander out onto the front lawn

tousle-haired and half asleep and in my nighty to retrieve it for my

breakfast read. Having said that, sometime I wonder why I bother as West

Australian newspapers are c**p, and I really miss my Daily Torygraph.

Debbie, I agree with everything you say!!

I do like the cling wrap in theory as it keeps the paper dry but when

the Sat papers are delivered in two or more pieces and they end up at

opposite ends of the garden!

Yes, not very keen on going down that avenue, how do stop other people

taking your mail, what happens when you are away, or just have lots of

mail one day and it ends up sticking out of the box and you happen to be

out all day. Just thought it might be an open invitation to others that

noone was at home. Have written grovelling letter to PO but basically

now resigned to going to pick mail up 2 or 3 times a week.

- don't a lot of the mail boxes have locks on them? I noticed

one such today ...

PS If you are away, won't the dog be then too? Could you catch the

Postie and tell him then to post it through door again. Chances are

too, that you might get a new postie as they never seem to last more

than a couple of years...
