Royal Mail’s talking postboxes are back for Christmas. Four postboxes have been spruced up in Christmas trim, with elves ready to respond once a letter or card is posted. The elves say things like “Call your mother, ” “Eat more vegetables, ” “If you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back at you, ” “The proletarians have nothing to lose but their chains, ” and “Send help.” The four postboxes are located in Greenwich, Cardiff, Edinburgh and Belfast, and will be in place for the entire festive season. (According to Royal Mail, the postboxes respond to letters being posted with the sounds of elves hard at work, not fomenting a workers’ revolution.)
