Pitch Meeting - Sadistically Low Letterboxes

Complaints from the postal workers union date back to 1958. 17,000 back-related periods of absence by Royal Mail staff each year. Ireland banned them in 2001. A parliamentary bill of 2019 appears to have ground to a halt. Welcome to the MYSTERY of why the UK can't get rid of the patently stupid low letterbox...
As reported by BBC news in Jan 2019:
*** The union first started its campaign to raise the level of letterboxes in 1958 and, while it was agreed by the British Standards Agency, it was never enshrined into building standards law. A similar campaign by its sister union in Ireland saw low-level letterboxes banned in 2001 and the CWU believes "the time has come" to replicate this in the UK.
Moving the bill in the House of Commons, Ms Ford revealed there were 16,800 back-related spells of absence in the Royal Mail last year. "There are over 95,000 postmen and women working for Royal Mail," she said. "They deliver to 30 million address, they serve each of our communities six days a week, every week of the year, and when I asked postal workers what I could do for them, they asked me to look at low-level letterboxes. This bill simply wants to stop developers from building swathes of homes each with a letterbox placed near to the ground and I hope that this will be a moment of unity in British politics."
The bill will come back to the House of Commons for a second reading in March, although it has little chance of becoming law. *** (Report Ends)

Truly undersized letterboxes *are* tight.

What percentage of homes have low ones? Looks like about 5% round my way.
