Gold post boxes

During the Olympics and Paralympics whenever  GB won a gold medal a post box from their local area was painted gold. I was only thinking the other day that I had yet to spot one but whilst in Manchester this week I came across this one by chance. It is in the heart of the city in Albert Square. I think it a pity that they do not put the name of the gold medallist on the post box but after a little research discovered that it was in honour of  Philip Hindes Men's Team Sprint - cycling

  2. That was a good idea but as you say the name of the recipient should be on the box.
