+Chris n Maria Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 for those of you stilll wondering why the Victorian postbox locationless cache was discontinued...I think I have an answer!!!. Strange. Chris Quote
Deego Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 That makes more sense than a terror attack. Quote
+mongoose39uk Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 That makes much more sense when you consider there are caches in much more sensitive places. Anyway I want this reinstating because I found one the day after it went Quote
+harold1066 Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 Some people will nick anything. I was up at Banstead woods, yesterday (one of my dhac) and there were notices up above dogs thieves working in the woods. Geo Quote
+MarcB Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 I don't because I'm anti-locationless and proud of it! MarcB Quote
+Lost in Space Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 .........and there were notices up above dogs thieves working in the woods. ............. Now if only there were cat thieves, they could have my neighbours coordinates - no problem!! Quote
+ANDYBUG&LADYBIRD Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 Whats the matter with cats? We have 4 of them and contrary to popular belief they only poo in our garden-or are ours just very well behaved? As for the mail boxes it's a terrible thing, surely someone must have seen or heard something-it can't be a quiet job surely? Quote
+MarcB Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 Lol I can see the mother of all flamers coming up! MarcB Quote
+Cave Troll and Eeyore Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 I love cats but couldn't eat a full one. Quote
Deego Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 I love cats but couldn't eat a full one. We have 2 cats and 1 dog. Think he could eat a full one if I let him Quote
+Bill D (wwh) Posted August 15, 2004 Posted August 15, 2004 Well, it would certainly be a much more plausible reason for archiving the cache than the terrorist nonsense, but it seems the thieves are finding the boxes anyway without any help from us. Quote
+The Northumbrian Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 for those of you stilll wondering why the Victorian postbox locationless cache was discontinued...I think I have an answer!!!. Strange. Chris I bet that data base I built up is now worth a bob or two, all the lonely places that these boxes are at. I think that was a knock on my front door Got to keep me head down now Nige Quote
+The Ollies Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 Our cat only seems to "poo" in our garden as well. Mind you he is old and probably cant be bothered to go next door. Anyway back to subject in hand Its as shame Victorias Mailbox has ben archived as even now, when we see one we think if only.................... Quote
+Naefearjustbeer Posted August 16, 2004 Posted August 16, 2004 when we see one we think if only.................... we could get a few hundred quid for that sorry couldnt resist cheers Donnie Quote

Deego Posted August 17, 2004 Posted August 17, 2004 (edited) Spotted another "new" one today. CAN'T ...... STOP ...... LOOKING ....... Aaarrrggghhhh Me too! How about reinstating the cache but changing it to Edward VII boxes - surely they are not collectors/thiefs fodder? Yes yes .

+The Forester Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I set up that locationless after the GC.com one was withdrawn as I was dissatisfied with the (not) given "security" reason for archiving this locationless. Having read the new explanation, I've "retired" the navicache locationless cache entry. I'd hate to discover that a Victorian mailbox listed here or there had been looted, so I think it best to simply withdraw the 'cache'. Even now, many months after the original locationless cache was terminated, I still find myself looking at every letterbox to see if it is a Victorian one. My most recent discovery of one was just last night! I wonder why the "security" guy did not say why he wanted the the cache entry to be terminated? His reason(s) at the time seemed daft in the absence of a reasonable explanation. Why didn't he simply state the reason why he wanted the cache to be stopped? Cheers, The Forester Quote
+Happy Humphrey Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Why didn't he simply state the reason why he wanted the cache to be stopped? Exactly my thoughts: perhaps he was trying to play the "terrorist" card, at the sight of which we're all supposed to comply with anything we're told to do? HH Quote
+yorkstan Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 Why didn't he simply state the reason why he wanted the cache to be stopped? Perhaps he was a postbox thief, and did not want his "competitors" to have the list also. Yorkstan Quote
+Team Maddie UK Posted August 20, 2004 Posted August 20, 2004 I think I would prefer to see a series..VR ERVII GR ERII..since I have found all four of them in a very small area in a short amount of time...must be a royalist area. Lynn Quote
+The Forester Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 must be a royalist area. That's England for you. Here in Scotland, none of the postboxes have the EIIR logo. This is because she is Scotland's first Queen Elizabeth, not our second. The other Queen Bess chopped our Queen Mary's head off and it still rancours here in Scotland. That's Scotland for you! Quote
+The Northumbrian Posted August 21, 2004 Posted August 21, 2004 I wonder why the "security" guy did not say why he wanted the the cache entry to be terminated?

Cheers, The Forester They did give a reason , You dont seem to have read the topic on Victorias mailbox. another example of people of typing away without the facts the reason was justified in the present situation the world is in. perhaps we should blame the americans and the labour gov. it's them that put us in this situation . Nothing more to say on the subject it's gone and leave it at that Nige Quote
+Alibags Posted August 23, 2004 Posted August 23, 2004 I noticed on a recent visit to God's own country that the Edward the VIII (yes that's right, the 8th!!) box that was formerly in Sandeford in Newcastle has gone walkies. What a shame. That would have been a great one for the collection! Quote
