Blank yellow and pink Post-it notes on a Ford Focus windscreen at a Rothley school.
In 1968, a scientist at 3M in the United States, Dr. Spencer Silver, was attempting to develop a super-strong adhesive.
Instead he accidentally created a "low-tack", reusable, pressure-sensitive adhesive. For five years, Silver promoted his "solution without a problem" within 3M both informally and through seminars but failed to gain acceptance.
In 1974 a colleague who had attended one of his seminars, Art Fry, came up with the idea of using the adhesive to anchor his bookmark in his hymnbook. Fry then utilized 3M's officially sanctioned "permitted bootlegging" policy to develop the idea. The original notes' yellow colour was chosen by accident, as the lab next-door to the Post-it team had only yellow scrap paper to use.
The old post office at Neude in Utrecht is famous for its architecture, it will be converted into a public library in the coming years.

Taken at the wrecking yard near the office. I just felt this one came out looking almost post-apocalyptic in a way.
On the old Post Office railway under London. It used to link various London mail sorting offices and the trains used to be unmanned, carrying post and parcels only. It closed in 2003, but re-opened last year as a visitor attraction. It is well worth seeing. The tunnels are a lot smaller than the London Underground!
The Post Office have announced that they are to discontinue using bicycles to deliver the mail. It seems a retrograde step when the government is trying to persuade people to cycle more.
(Notice the red bands :)

The Old Post Office in Dawson City, Yukon, was built in 1901. It was designed by Thomas Fuller, a renowned Canadian architect at the time. It is among the oldest buildings in the Yukon. Mail was a vital part of Dawson life since the town was formed in 1896 because it allowed the gold miners to keep in touch with the outside world.
The building contains a large vault, 1775 assorted brass-faced boxes, and drawers to hold the mail. There is also a postmaster's office, delivery offices, and a telegraph receiving room. On the second floor are ten offices. These were inhabited by the Customs Service, the Crown Lands Department, the Registrar of Crown Lands and the Telegraph Service. A small elevator for messages and parcels connected them with activities on the floor below. An annex on the side of the building housed Fuller's office; later it became the telegraph office.
Funnily enough, it's no longer the Post Office.
This building replaced the General Post Office building built only 25 years earlier further along Meadowside which was demolished to make way for the Courier Building.
This building, itself superseded by something not even worth mentioning, appeared to be empty - languishing as a former nightclub. Oh, the indignity.
