And my letterbox slot is probably less than a metre from the ground. Does our postie care? No, still delivers our bills just the same. Can our house number be determined easily enough? Absolutely, either by looking at the house number on the front of the house which is 40cm high, or by adding two or subtracting two from the house numbers either side to work out my house number. I speak from experience when I tell you that the average emergency service person is pretty good at working out house numbers etc. Relying on an example from the US of police getting the house number wrong is fairly unimpressive to say the least. If this was a problem so prevalent in this country to warrant the alarm raised by Ian, then a better example would be readily obtainable. And there does not seem to be much data or evidence to support the doom and gloom, the world will end with posties being the countries largest collective of landlords scenario that you predicate there Ian. If this was such a problem, there would be legislation dictating standards etc. HD Re: street numbers 17Apr 09, 2012 8:27 pm Are overly lengthy diatribes the in-thing nowadays for some reason... All that grief over potentially not being able to see someone's house number at night when there is such a simple solution - get a reflective number painted onto the gutter next to the drive way. Problem solved. How a house number translates into an anecdotal rage about non-compliant letterboxes is beyond me. Just my $0.02.

She was riding a Honda 110 cc Postie M/Bike, and waiting to turn right across 2 lanes on Beaufort Street into a side street. She had indicator on and brake light also. Sadly a lady driver who was busy texting at the time - ran into the rear of her - and this threw her and the postie bike across the white line into the path of an oncoming shire truck... Least it was quick, if not exactly a painless way to go. She was just a young one too - bout 21 or so - and quite the looker as well! Wasn't all that long ago either! (Within the last 12 months or so).. Being a postie mightn't be all that its cracked up to be. I'd want danger money! Cheers! street numbers 19Apr 10, 2012 6:49 am Ian Moone You got off lightly Kezza.

And not in any way connected to the colour of the motorists house number nor is the connection to what height her letterbox slot is from ground level immediately obvious.

Some poor girl has died yet we have a story full of smilies saying she had a horrible and painful death but she was a good looking sort?? I wonder about Ian’s age and is he from the 70’s era when people used to pass around funny cigarettes? By the way I have a stainless steel mailbox on a piece of CB Riversand slat fencing and used a black number so it would stand out. And here is the solution to all of Ian’s problems. This is a Solar-powered lighted address sign and operates from dusk to dawn so when that pesky SWAT team or Dog the bounty hunter arrives at Ian’s house at 2am they’ll be straight through the door no muckin’ around.

The gate would be between the bush on the left and the letter box on… 0 2826 Thanks! I'm spoke to the builder I'm not sure if this is all true but basically went along the lines of they considered all options and if I was to compact and fill it… 2 7324 |
