Royal Mail have alerted police after postboxes in Kent were vandalised just six months after they were spray-painted like Mr Blobby and Creme Eggs.

Fair.

I wonfer if you are old enouth to remember the early utility boxes.

They were dark green made from much thicker metel. And had over hanging tops similar to postboxes but rectangular.

Been a good couple of decades since I saw one. But they were more shapped little recess in the double doors etc.

My guess is privatisation made the uriliries consider price and replacability over asthetics.

If so. Thar dose not bode well for posr boxes.
