It's funny how different countries that share a language can be.
The New Zealand way of delivering post is very similar to Australia.
The junk mail is almost always delivered by younger people - the 'paper run' is the only job kids under the age of fourteen years and nine months can do in Australia. It's easy to do, is often shared, gives the children something better to do than play video games, plus it's great exercise!
The 'Avon lady' always leaves catalogues to be picked up a few days later.
I've never heard of letter boxes with red flags. And I've lived in a number of different countries.
It's really interesting how different the little things always seem to be.
