Summary edit

Description
English: Type A pillar box in Wallisdown, Poole, Dorset.

Due to an industrial dispute, the Royal Mail all but came to a standstill over the first weekend of October 2007. Two 48-hour strikes, one on the Thursday-Saturday and one Monday-Wednesday, meant that the Royal Mail could not guarantee collections from the majority of its postboxes.

The notice states, "Please do not post in this box. We cannot guarantee a collection from 4th October to 9th October inclusive. Please take your mail to the nearest post office." and covers the regular collection times, though not covering the slot.
