From the questiony thing that's been going around:

6. Where on your door is your letterbox?

Oddly specific! But shouldn't it also ask what orientation your letterbox is (portrait or landscape)? And how about aspect ratio? I know a lot of people are unhappy with letterboxing. Maybe they have 16:9 front doors instead.

I think the questions are very UK-as-seen-from-the-US-centric - to a lot of US people the salient thing is that the letterboxes are in the doors at all, rather than next to the front gate.

Yeah - a lot of the questions are not about whether you're British, but what sub-section of British you are.

When I am El Presidente Dictator-For-Life, people with letterboxes right at the bottom of their doors will be extruded through them.

*groan*

Yes, I had forgotten about vertical letterboxes. But TBH, what that question really seems to be asking is "what decade was your front door bought in" ;-)
