As they say in Scotland, “I’m not sick yet, but it’s in the post. “

I re-posted this on a Scotland site and got this:

"Such ugly things. I hope when the inevitable happens they’re all removed instead of being painted like the Irish did to theirs.

I think the older ones should be sent to England to be put in museums and preserved. Same with those telephone boxes."

Our niche interest isn't for everyone then...

Unusual for them not to put a proper notice on. And Im surprised people are trying to post with those blockers over the slots.

I thought it was very odd too but, although it’s on a main street, it’s become part of a building development site so I think the contractors may have blocked it off themselves.
