Post Office / Royal Mail an absolute disgrace here.

Got my wellies on and trudged up to local sub P.O at 4.40 with a couple of recorded items to meet 5.15 collection. Lady behind the jump said that as of 2pm our local delivery office in town (what used to be called the Sorting Office) had packed up and gone home no more post was being collected from the subbies and Post Boxes. Same goes for the main 8 counter or so Post Office in town they shut up shop at 2pm. It gets more like the third world every day. Whatever became of serving the public and getting the post through.

Mrs D is a Nurse - good job I'm around to take her to work at 2pm and pick her up later tonight
