Residents of a Berkshire town are scratching their heads over the appearance of a Royal Mail letterbox - in the middle of the River Thames.
An incredulous postman spotted the traditional box embedded into one of the buttresses of a brick bridge in the village of Sonning-on-Thames.
As he didn't have a boat handy, he took a photo from the riverbank to prove to his bosses just why he hadn't been able to make this particular collection in his van.

"Ahem. Le boite-postale nouveau de Sonning-on-Thames ce n'est pas sur la pont. Il fait dans la pont a deux metres superior de l'eau. Les citoyens de Sonning-on-Thames avec les bateaux en l'esprit du Dunkerque sont invités à aider des amis avec aucun bateau. Cette boite-postale est remplacee pour la boite de Dawkins Road, accidentellement, qui a été construit sur un petit Cessna. Les residents de Dawkins Road avec un punt, peut-etre pouvez utiliser la boîte de message dans le pont. Nous nous excusons profondément à notre épistoliers abled différemment"

It should be obvious who that box is for:
If I were the mail man, I wouldn't go near it either...
