@Kathryn11Baird When I was a kid, we had one at the end of the drive, was so handy!

@jonboy72 I’d love to have a postbox near my home.

My cross-stitched picture for #PostboxSaturday this week.

My regular Saturday work

Cambridge South station

@davidjmcarson1 I seem to constantly be doing courses & site inductions these days!

@jonboy72 You certainly do😂

Another site induction, this one online where you have to download an ID picture. I look thrilled & tired 😴

@Pollock1953Jo Very kind Jo-Anne 👍🏻

@jonboy72 And very handsome, you little bugger!!

That’s a scary looking dog!

@RichardShead @squeak20021 Yup a great 2nd car & it’s small and light - exactly what an electric car should be.

@squeak20021 @jonboy72 It not cheap but … I live in SW London and have a large car for long distance and this compliments it perfectly. Short runs, turn of speed, great range and normal plug for charging. For us it IS a normal car in fact it’s better so the maths made sense once we looked at it.

Small, but perfectly formed

@squeak20021 Fingers crossed 🤞

@jonboy72 It would be so practical for parking, getting around, etc. Very sorely tempted but not this year. *Buys a lottery ticket*

@squeak20021 I guess the running costs are cheap & a great car for the city

@jonboy72 Foolishly, I did look. £19k for 2026 model.

@squeak20021 Yeah I don’t want to look 👀

@jonboy72 I hardly dare ask, but what does it cost? A tiny car would be economical, but not if they cost more than a normal car.

@oppositejohn Over to @RichardShead

@jonboy72 What make is this ?

@RichardShead A do love a small quirky car. 🚗

@jonboy72 And this is mine. The most incredible little vehicle!

@waveatthetrain It was worth the sacrifice 🦊

@jonboy72 That very generous of you!

Ok you can have my lunch pork pie 🦊

@fugitiveink So sad! Will be replaced with a soulless structure, that will not fit in to its environment, with a fancy touch screen display that will never work. Then give it a few years & it will be replaced with a cheap looking replica of the one that was knocked down in the first place!

This is disappointing — but then some of us will hardly be surprised at yet another illustration of the extent to which local government bodies in Norfolk are downright hostile to our 20th century heritage, seeking out any chance to demolish it and replace it with bland, soulless slop. Farewell, handsome bus stop. You deserved better.
