LL Post Office

[Zebedee Tring]

You should realise that it is a breach of someone's human rights to ask them to interrupt a mobile phone call in order that you can have a conversation with them. The person deprived of their phone call can claim damages under the Human Rights Act.

What's all this nonsense about the LL PO being busy being used by all the middle classes? Whenever I go there, there are plenty of people who don't appear to fit into the "middle class" category.

Good girl giggirl erm, anyway - absolutely spot on - be prepared, bring sellotape and a pen. been using it since way back when, and always exchage pleasentries. They are human beings behind the counter as well... and as for the phone thing - the height of rudeness.

If the middle classes are keeping the postal service going (and clogging up LL post office as a side effect) then hats off to them. I gave up on the Royal Mail years ago. All the chocs I send to New Zealand relatives originate from New Zealand chocolate shops. That's the beauty of the internet.

I would also use the internet rather than the PO if I were sending something to NZ!
