Before there was the internet, before there was email and online diaries, Stephen and Nick kept in touch with fans all over the world via PO Box 2, Bromyard, HR7 4UU. PO Box 2 was in fact a card index box, kept up to date by Norma Duffy. She registered and numbered each correspondent, noted changes of address, if a person had purchased merchandise or received it as gift or made a special inquiry. It is still sitting in the Duffy archive in Herefordshire, but no longer maintained. But letters address to PO Box 2 will still find their way to the Duffy home.
