Wonky Post Box, Manchester
Initially I wasn't sure if this postbox had been dug up and then become wonky when being reinstated, or whether it had simply been hit by something. Comparing it with another picture from 2017 on this site however, Image, it is obviously wonky due to having been hit by a vehicle, as the dug-up square bit of pavement around it is on that picture too.
The most surprising thing though, is the last collection times for the postbox, which are very early in the morning considering its city centre location. Increasing use of mobile phones and the internet have caused a huge decrease in the amount of letters posted over the last 10 or 15 years, making a lot of postboxes uneconomic. Therefore this is no doubt a 'Collection on Delivery' postbox, meaning that the mail is collected by the person delivering the mail in the area while on their morning rounds. The Royal Mail website says that there will always be a late afternoon collection postbox still available within a mile of any of these relatively newly changed 'morning' postboxes.
