When I was working in a Hotel I had a difference of opinion with a guest who was wearing a red anorak. When it was my lunch break I started to walk out onto the street, when I glimpsed a red coated, black trousered chap with his back pressed against the wall a little way along the street, obviously trying to hide from me but waiting for me walk past him to get to the shop.
I went back inside and asked one of the staff who was also on a lunch break to come with me.
As we approached the person I saw it was a red letter box supported on a black pole built against the wall of a house…..
It took a long time for people to forget that mistake.
