A typical Royal Mail post drop box. E R, for "Elizabeth Regina" (Elizabeth the Queen), is clearly seen on the bottom. Throughout the UK, the history of the reigns of the various kings and queens can be seen by looking at post drop boxes. There are drop boxes still in use with V R (Victoria), G R V(George V), etc.

Persian Academy, Alexandria, Virginia, USA: I realize that this is not strictly travel related, but I include it for those of my American guests interested in other languages and cultures. The school is run by a very good friend of mine, who is an incredible instructor, teaching Farsi as well as Persian culture, history and dance. If you're in the greater Washington, DC area, and you're interested in learning, you owe it to yourself to contact the school. The website is http://www.persianclass.org , and an alternative URL for the same website is http://www.farsicourse.com
