There has been rather a hoo-ha in your paper about prospective post office closures. What a fuss about nothing.

Don’t people realise that all the services available at the post office can be found elsewhere?

Don’t people have computers? Or bank accounts?

Post offices are like something out of the Middle Ages. - where you wait for hours in a long queue listening to a lot of whining and ‘stamp, stamp, stamp’, which brings on a nasty migraine.

I’ve had one too many parcels - full of delicate items - handed into the post office and arriving at the other end smashed to smithereens. (And when jams are involved, a horrible sticky mess full of glass. Who’d want to eat that?) I also once posted including a wrapped Meissen figurine of a ballet-dancing shepherdness to my cousin in Dorset.

I predicted it would arrive sans limbs, and so it did.

I get fighting to save pubs, but post offices?
