Mail Box Warna Gold England

 

Satu cerita menarik tentang mail box kat England. Mereka satu masa siap bubuh mail box warna gold. Ada 110 buah mail box warna gold. Pasal apa gold dan kenapa cuma 110?

Mereka menghargai sumbangan 110 atlet yg menang gold modal waktu sukan olimpik London 2012. Mail box tersebut di pasang letak kat tempat asal 110 atlet berkenaan.

Ada pula yang lucunya bila pada olimpik 2016 Rio de Janeiro Brazil ramai atlet Britain yg menang pingat emas marah. Mereka marah kerana Royail Mail British tidak buat projek mail box yang serupa untuk mereka.

Artikel mengenai latar belakang projek dan lokasi adanya mail box warna gold ini boleh baca di wiki - link.
