www.royalmail.com/dogawareness "Top tips for dog owners
Even the most lovable dog can be a danger to postal staff. Dogs are territorial by nature and if they feel they need to protect their family, they can become unpredictable.
Here are some ideas to help your postman deliver your post in safety:
Ensure your dog is out of the way before the postman or woman arrives. Place your pet in the back garden or a faraway room.
If you have a back garden, please close off the access, in case your dog could get round to the front when the postman calls.
Dog attacks can happen when you’ve opened the door to sign for an item. Please keep your dog in another room before answering the door and make sure children don’t open the door, as dogs can push by them and attack.
Give your dog some food or a toy to occupy them while your mail is being delivered
Wait 10 minutes after your mail has arrived to let your pet back into your hallway. Keep everything as calm and low-key as possible.
If your dog likes to attack your mail consider installing a wire letter receptacle. It will protect your post, and your postman’s fingers
If it’s not practical for you to keep your dog away from a postman delivering your mail, please consider fitting a secure mailbox on the edge of your property.
Please ensure your dog is microchipped, wearing a collar and tag and that your contact details on the tag and microchip are up to date."

【9月號 關於生活專欄】

移民外地的朋友傳來照片，是他兩個女兒在社區公園遊玩，那種空曠已然羨煞旁人；而其中一處更有僅由幾道支架撐起的大繩網，朋友補上一句：「香港冇見好耐」，是指繩網早已消失在香港社區，讓我忽然悲從中來，心想那熟悉的物事，已在海外。
然更感難耐的，是那消失的繩網。感覺上，現在我們周遭的公園，都沒有了那曾經看似危險，卻陪上我輩一代成長的玩樂設計——繩網僅由支架懸起高低有緻的粗索，讓孩子肆無忌憚的爬；我就曾經爬過足有樓高一層以上的繩網，穩站頂端好不威風，懶理我媽在下面大呼小叫！我更見過較年長的孩子在頂端一躍而下，著地竟然十足體操選手，冷靜落地，全場鼓掌。
印象中繩網的出現，已伴隨地上的軟質水松，任得孩子倒地墮地，都不致重傷；記得我十歲八歲時，公園還有那由木柱安裝的巨型物事，似船頭又似坦克，而尾部總有一枝垂直鐵柱，讓孩子扮消防員，要救火救人，就從高處緊急滑落，而地上僅有硬磚，人人必經擦傷手腳，而皮肉撕裂，新長肉塊就會留有疤痕，證明「食過夜粥」。
瞬眼間，木柱巨物消失，硬地不再，繩網也不知不覺退場，現在的孩子公園很「安全」；安全到連以前「問題少年」所到之處，總不離此等設施，但今日唯恐要落腳於此，難免會被笑得面黃耳赤，與旁邊僅有又紅又黃的膠造玩物相映成趣。畢竟1孩子公園的設施越來越安全，有時教我懷疑，那種「食夜粥」的傷害不再，是否已教童年有變，只會造就美化的成長。
話已至此，社科人一定會即時想到，八十年代美國媒介研究學者Neil Postman的名著《The Disappearance of Childhood》，說媒體發展會模糊化了成人與孩子間的界線，而看到童年會被抹煞，因為成人世界的資訊，都進襲孩子本應單純的國度。說法雖說憂慮得來帶點保守，卻可見那是孩子的「演化」，甚至因為掌握資訊而進步。
反觀公園的「安全」，是保護為上，可又更像「過份保護」，讓孩子多了界線，不能踰越嬉戲而得來傷害，去感受成長。當下孩子在香港語境裡，都像被保護得貼貼服服；而我輩成長的經歷，就在外地的繩網照片被重新「上載」——那會是集體回憶、疤痕，更是那本來熟悉，卻已然消失的香港。
