Damn! Too late.

I don't think our local post office is under threat. In fact it was shortlisted as Best Village Shop in the Best Rural Retailer awards, last year. But I cannot get my head around the idea that, at a time when the Government is supposedly trying to get us out of our cars, it plans to close thousands of post offices.

Cockeyed.

You sound surprised, Penners!

 

[Penners]

No. I almost wish I were. That tone you detect in my voice is just utter frustration.

My local post office is run by the village, problem is though, its loosing £3k per year. Its very old fashioned and staid. It would be a shame to see it go, but I can't see a viable alternative.
