LETTERBOXES <\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n When did you last test your letterbox?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n It is surprising how difficult it is to use some house-hold letter boxes. Some have springs that will take your fingers off if you are not careful, draft protec-tors which are almost impossible to push items through, boxes mounted so high on an external wall you almost need a step ladder to use. A household pet that snatches the item from you and your fingers if not smartly removed.<\/p>\n Why not test your box NOW. Take this magazine and go and post it through your letter box. Was it easy to post? Try it again; maybe you were lucky the first time. While you are there try a single piece of paper, a real test for any box. If there was no problem – congratulations. If you did hit a snag try and resolve it for the sake of all the people who have to make use of it. Think of your postman, your What\u2019s On magazine deliverer etc.<\/p>\n LETTERBOXES When did you last test your letterbox? It is surprising how difficult it is to use some house-hold letter boxes.
