On my recent trip to the UK I kept my eye out for any unusual post boxes. This one caught my eye. Nicola Adams won a gold medal for boxing at the London 2012 Olympics. To commemorate this and other gold medal winners in the 2012 Olympics and Paralympics Royal Mail painted a post box gold for each medal winner. The boxes will remain gold permanently. Ignoring for a moment the argument about who should receive this type of recognition I thought this was a nice gesture. 

On a separate theme I liked that the sign also has braille for vision impaired people. However would it not also be good if the collection times had information in braille also?
