Well we were either taxed more or the money had to come from somewhere else ... Either way we would have less money to spend but the former was preferable. Expect the market will adjust, hopefully sooner rather than later. Reducing the amount of unprocessed food would be a great start both for our pocket and our wellbeing -
Good to have debate, just like the forum of old! Like most I use post offices a few times a year, usually Forest Hill Road, occasionally the Village, Forest Hill or Sydenham. All of these are wider businesses, Sydenham is quite successful but sells a right load of tat 😊 Does society want to keep them open as a service to the community making a load or as a streamlined business which may disadvantage us from time to time, think the dwindling number of branches of banks with less and less staff on hand. I have parcels delivered from time to time by Royal Mail and others, usually good but if course parcels have been left in the wrong places. Both my usual postie and the RM parcels chap are good and friendly although preferred the regular morning delivery not tea time. Labour opening up parcel deliveries to competition in 2006 hammered Royal Mail but we are where we are. They are catching up the digital age. Meant to post a link but copied and pasted someone else's post below sorry... The unsavoury side to all this is inefficiency of the need it now customer and the try on and return customer. I expect many are guilty! And the dreadful gig economy.....

The disastrous decision by Rachel Theives to increase employer NI thereby pushing up costs to businesses resulting in higher prices is my guess -
To be fair, I have found the system for changing a Royal Mail delivery very easy. But Royal Mail deliveries have nothing to do with the potential closure of some Crown post offices! The "vital front door for that sector" doesn't have to be Crown Post Office branches.
