    A unless (or not so unless, depending on how you look at it)! Early post boxes had the letter slot pointing at an angle downwards. This proved to be a bit of a design fault, as, rain would get in and soak all your lovley 18th century mail, so latterly, they have them angled upward which is to this day - result - nice, dry post! ;-)

    Hi Joolz
    You always make a point of pointing out what you call "stink pipes" but I thought you out to also know that they weren't just created for the comfort of passers by. They are really an integral and vital part of the sanitary sewers created before modern waste systems when it was required to put vents in the houses. these old sewage systems were functioning by gravity only, and were mostly built with the minimum rate of fall avaiable for the sewage waste to flow to its outlet. This required the installation of air vents in the system to prevent pressures building up which would stop the flow and cause backup of the pipes and sewage overflow in the houses, as well as the system failures which you describe. A vital consideration to reflect on as you notice them all over in the older sections of our cities. Great vid though. and thanks.

    Another Joolz video so soon, Thanks, I thought I would have had to wait another couple of week before my next Dose of Joolz Magic. So glad you finally managed to get a pint or two in the pub at the end. Very informative and entertaining as usual. I always learn lots from your videos.

    I have pictures of 2 of the items from previous trips. London's first water fountain and a post box but I am not in the photos.
    Thanks for another cool video. Found a few more things to look for when I eventually go to London again.

    Absolutely fascinating, I’ll have to have a look next time I’m in London.

    Those stretcher railings @12:41 are very impressive and ingenious too.
