    It is being removed as it was put up without planning permission. What a surprise.

    I'm very glad he made the effort to point to the letterbox, not like I would've been able to see where it was otherwise..

    Is this really the kind of thing that this talentless fraud has been reduced to?

    I think it's quite nice is a slightly surreal way. I hope the local government jobsworths leave it there.

    If you rub it hard enough everything you post in it turns out the shape of a crisp.

    Residents of Sonning-on-Thames, Berkshire, said the box could only be reached by river users.
    Yes. A real mystery. Who are these mysterious 'river users' and what special powers do they have?

    There was a postbox fascia on a nearby pub a while back, but it was removed. I wonder what happened to it?

    Who was responsible? The ghost of a mischeillievious little girl? Or a mildly inebriated group of pum regulars. Hmmm. Makes you wonder (cue spooky music)

    From my favourite source of news, the CBBC Newsround:
    A red postbox that mysteriously appeared in the middle of a bridge is going to be removed.

    The postbox appeared a few weeks ago on the side of Sonning Bridge, which crosses the River Thames in Berkshire.

    Royal Mail said the postbox is not real and any letters posted would not get delivered.

    People living nearby say the postbox is a mystery. Some people think it was put up as a piece of art.

    Local councillor Mike Haines said he thought it was a "bit of fun" but the postbox will have to come down.

    The Sonning Bridge is a "listed" structure which means it is protected and any alterations must be approved by the council.

    I wonder if Geller played any part in having the fake postbox put on the bridge?

    I'm puzzled by his apparent fame and no talent.
