The Leaning Tower of Postie

We've all heard of The Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, well I've found my version in a local town which I have called "The Leaning Tower of Postie". Now this is not an optical illusion as you will see the buildings in the background are straight and the road and wall horizontal, the tree is slightly leaning. Can I get tourists to visit and have holidays here, crowds come to see this amazing angled box.

People have obviously been putting some heavy letters in the box, or the postman has been resting to heavily on the front door whilst emptying it. I'm sure our Health and Safety Department haven't seen it or they would have fenced it over in case it fell over, unlikely knowing how deep they are in the ground. View with the dark surround if possible.

Thank you for your comment's and Fav's yesterday, much appreciated. Just a warning that with the football season starting I may miss some Saturdays or be posting my pictures early as I will be attending the home matches this season. I've given up some of my duties on the PC for match-days meaning I can get up to the ground.

Nicely spotted and captured. Enjoyed the narrative, as I could definitely use the laugh!

[Peter Day]

@peterday Play for Peter, I'm a bit old in the tooth for anything like that. I'm Forest Green Rovers Club Statistician and a life member, having worked voluntary for 44 years in various posts. Have a look at my Stats website.

Do you think the tree roots are pushing the post box over? You must keep,an eye on this Heather could get a real lean on it soon!

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

Great find and Heather I am sure you could come up with a creative way of making this into a money making tourist attraction

[J A Byrdlip]

I is good to know that the Post does not move their boxes around, I would vote to remove the tree and leave the box.

[Ivan]

Love the image and the title...fav

[Denise Wood]

Love your leaning tower of postie - title and all :) fav

[Julie F]

That's an astonishing angle, wonder if we can spot anymore tilting like this around? Fav

[Maggiemae]

This should be a Number One picture in a travel magazine! - As - where is this?

[Lady Magpie (Heather)]

@jaffacakes Quietways, Stonehouse Julie outside the pet shop.

[Babs]

Ha ha, maybe the post box and the tree have been out to the pub.

[Dawn]

Ha ha love the title fav

[Candace]

Darn tree roots!

[Peggy Scroggins]

I noticed the tree is leaning also. And I am sure a postie is a mail box for us lol. Great eye to spot this shot.

[John]

Great find, Heather.

[Hazel]

What an amazing catch, Heather! I wonder if the tree roots are the problem - it doesn't look too straight itself come to think of it!

[Daweenie]

Great capture. It's an apt metaphor for aging. Time has obviously taken its toll here as well.

[Joseph M Snaith]

Its leaning to the right must be all that Tory mail. fav

[Claire]

One Pimm's too many I think
