Hi guys – i’m currently travelling the world and stayed in Manchester on November.
I did some googling but couldn’t find any clear answers so maybe you can help me out?
My friends who i stayed with said they had seen the blue pillar/post box thing but couldn’t tell me why it was blue and hadn’t even considered it as a something to take note of so maybe it’s too mundane!
I know why you guys do gold boxes. That’s super cute. I was hoping for a simple answer like that I guess.
Yo, listen up here’s a story
About a pillar box
That lives in a blue world
And all day and all night
And everything he sees is just blue
Like him, inside and outside
Blue his top
With a blue little door
And a blue letter slot
And everything is blue for him
And himself and everybody around
Cause he ain’t got nobody to listen to
It’s blue
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
Da ba dee da ba di
It’s just a little sad and feeling down at the minute.
looks like the tardis chameleon circuit has malfunctioned once again….. david tennent really must get that sorted..
its his winter coat
It’s because it’s cold, that’s why it’s popular the local knitting circle knit them hats sometimes.
It’s blue because it’s girlfriend came over and all they did was kiss for 5 hrs straight.
They originally tried to paint it red, but this was a time before colour, and they accidentally painted it blue. It was 15 years before they noticed
he’s not breathing 🙁
It’s a GR (George V) one as well. Quite uncommon.
Someone needs to attach big googly eyes to this and a brown paper bag that says ‘Cookies!’
The Tardis has had a camouflage circuit update
It’s holding it’s breath
It’s an understudy for the Blue Man Group.
The postman is colour blind so they had to go out and paint his round blue.
tardis
Cost of living even hitting Doctor Who
It’s the new tardis for this 3 episode special of Doctor Who
It is a relic from the early days of airmail, when post boxes designated for airmail only were painted blue instead of red. Separate post boxes for airmail did not last long and were abolished in 1938.
It’s cosplaying as a TARDIS
Lick it. It will turn red. I swear.
It’s obviously a vein while the rest are arteries.
It’s one of those 3D ones. You’re just looking at it with your left eye. Open the other eye instead and it’ll be red.
It’s not blue with a black base, it’s white and gold actually
It’s a really good post box, it can deliver your letters anywhere in time and space. Feel guilty that you forgot to send your cousin a birthday card a month ago? Why not travel to the TARPIS – Time And Relative Packages In Space!

Does anyone here live near any other blue boxes?
