Observation Fail
I've lived here for more than 10 years, and only just this moment have I noticed that, unlike for all the other flats on my floor, the flap of the letterbox in my front door is installed on the inside of the door rather than the outside of the door.

Anybody know a nice search engine with a minimalist user interface?
