In a similar vein

Ram torched in sick arson attack...

Steady on!  Surely the Mayor getting savaged by a dog is important news.  I can't imagine how I would feel if it happened to Boris Johnson.

Oh.  Hold on.  I think I can. ;D

Villagers of Sonning-on-Thames, including Uri Geller, have been left puzzled as to how people could post letters or collect them from the box which is impossible to reach on foot and liable to flooding.



..... Now I know what it's all about !

- it was heralding the Post Office flotation !

Apparently not a real post box, which is a pity (I quite like the idea of a post box for boaters and barge dwellers).

And I think that Uri Geller is in a permanent state of puzzlement... he clearly has no grasp on the real world.

I've heard he has an over-enthusiastic grasp of cutlery.
