I'd be grateful for info as to what electronic gadgetry is installed in
UK postboxes.

How are visits by Royal Mail workers to empty the boxes logged
electronically?

Presumably the vans are all satellite-tracked. But what gizmo do the
workers use to 'shake hands' with the gadgetry in the box?

And what about 'business postboxes' - the ones for franked mail only?
Just try using your car radio near one. You probably won't be able to,
because of the electromagnetic interference.

they use special X rays to scan every piece of mail and record every letter
everybody sends, it's all done by secret MI5 operatives, just ask Mike
Corley.

Our local one has its own midget MI5 agaent inside, who takes X-ray
photocopies of each letter as it drops through the slot.

Seriously though, I've seen inside the postbox and there's no gadgetry
inside, just a wire cage that contains the post till the postman
collects it.
