Sir, This is a warning to those who use the post box outside the old Post Office in Witney.

Beware of birds in the trees above. I was just about to post a letter on Sunday morning, when a bird “fouled” my letter from a great height.

Fortunately, I was able to wipe the offending mess off with a tissue, writing a note of apology on the envelope, before finally putting it in the box, but it was a close call.

Perhaps the branches need trimming back so they don’t overhang the box.
