Even at that age the strict instructions we were given about never putting your fingers into a letterbox seemed rather daft and indeed simply common sense. It makes perfect sense really - even if there isn't a dog, a snappy letterbox can make a mess of your hand. It was really easy to do as well - open the flap with one hand and push the item in with the other. I did that round for about a year and avoided any entanglements with dogs and I never injured my hands once. I'm not suggesting that Councillors don;t have the common sense of 13 year olds or anything... Sod it. I am suggesting that. There isn't a violin tiny enough for me to play for this particular dunderhead...
