Backlash over Cardiff's England world cup postbox

Postboxes are placed in the host cities of the Cricket World Cup, which England won.

A postbox celebrating England's Cricket World Cup victory has caused a backlash in Cardiff.

Royal Mail painted a box on the city's Queen Street white, with the words "congratulations England cricket team".

Cardiff hosted games in last month's men's tournament - with England's team also representing Wales on the pitch.

But the postbox has been covered with pro-independence stickers with some twitter users saying it should say: "England and Wales Cricket Board."

However, others said people from both countries should enjoy the victories together and those that placed the stickers should pay for it to be cleaned.

Following this, Royal Mail announced it would transform 15 postboxes near host venues.

Cardiff's Sophia Gardens hosted matches as well as stadiums such as Lords in London and Edgbaston, Birmingham.
