It is very easy for Tories to campaign to save post offices now, but where were they all before 1997 ?

Besides that, those in the rural areas will be miles away from one. I don’t think anyone believes that ministerial statement.

Not a wise thing to do nowadays. You really need somewhere with a substantial community and facilities to be sure that you don't end up cut off. Unless a privatised operation makes megga-bucks forget it, public services devolved of government don't remain public services for long.

Stamp machines have been removed from lobbies and one machine weighs and dispenses postage with a debit or credit card. This of course, will replace substantially all postal workers within 14 years. What a shame for those who have no transportation. But of course, even here the spin is "we're getting leaner and more efficient". To which I respond: "No you aren't, you idiots! You're inconveniencing thousands of people and you have no conscience". They don't care, Ellee. That's the issue! We have morons like this over here in the USA as well, much to my personal regret.

We've had two closures here recently and other local businesses have been fighting over the rights to have a 'mini post office' within their shop! Shouldn’t they be franchised like MacDonalds?
