It’s to do with blue passports and brexit.

 

[Paddy O'Dors]

Blue ones used to be for posting airmail stuff years ago.

Wouldn't imagine that's why that's blue though.

Undercoat drying? Or have you left your shades on?

There was something on the radio news today about being able to post parcels in post boxes for the first time. To do with that maybe?

I would have thought the need a design change for that, rather than a coat of paint

Painter left masking tape round it's gullet.

Yes that one.

 

[Matt Hopkins]

Apparently blue boxes were removed in 1939 not like Chester to be 80 years behind everyone

 

[Kevin Arnott's right boot]

Celebrating Manchester City's treble

 

[EchoMan]

Yes that one.

I saw it this afternoon. Looks really odd but it’s not Royal Blue. It could be Air Force blue and something to do with commemorating air mail post boxes.

More likely to do with this summer’s cricket World Cup.

Mystery as Nottingham city centre post box changes from traditional red to blue

There’s been a sky blue one in Manchester for years for some reason.
