Phone 600 and box 372. I used to have to jump up and down or climb on the bench opposite the box to see if there was any mail inside. I also remember leaving my school report in that box all weekend just so that my folks wouldn't see my bad results and ruin my weekend! It actually back fired and I was sh*t scared all weekend waiting for Monday to come.

I also remember my Namibian bank account number, post box number, street address, etc, etc.
Even though it's old, there are people out there looking for this sort of information.

I know I probably sound like an old fart, but you all should know better than to post details like this on the web.

Hi Kenny.
Worried somebody might give me a call on my old number? But he might even want to get my post....

I think Kenny is alluding to the information being used in identity fraud, as the numbers may well be used by some people as security question answers

Sorry Kenny.
