Not news, but did'nt know where else to put it.

Last night I arrived home from work, and stoped at the village post box to post a letter. I then trod in the freshly laid cement where the post box was!!! My god some one has stolen our post box, I thought, But no, on further investigation the post office have taken it away as we only have 829 residents in the village, not enough to warrent a post box!

So now we have to get in our cars drive 3 miles to the next village to post a letter and 3 miles back. (great for the environment). What about the old folk who don't drive, are they expected to walk a 6 mile round trip. I could go on and on but I won't.......................

Is it just me or is this absoulutly stupid?

Rant over

Maybe you could get a lift with the post van when it passes. He probably has to drive past the place where your post box was to get to the other village.
And the Royal Mail are still puzzled as to why they're losing their monopoly???
There are 829 of you and they've said you don't warrant a post box???!!! There are only 5 of us up here & we've got one - don't tell the Post Office though, please - they'll come & take it away....!

Ohhhhhh Kleiber, I'm gonna tell, Its just not fair. I'll cry if you have a phone box as well, ours went a few year back.
829 people is a big village, ask for it back. Theyt moved ours due to the old health and safety. What a pain. The problem wasn't the box it was the drivers driving too fast.
How stupid ? The P.O is a spent force in this country. How sad that they feel your village is just not worth bothering with.
Hiya, horsestache - no, we haven't got a phone box nearby, but there is one up the mountain! You don't expect to find a phone box on top of a mountain, in the middle of nowhere, but I swear, it's there!!
