Yes Ive had to trawl through the misery of that miserable Post Office in Pencester. The price you pay for austere times and falling PO revenue means all those peripery post offices, village type ones with friendly faces, have been axed or are about to be.
Posting christmas cards to Ireland these days you need those european postage levels so it costs more...so you have to queue for the relevent stamps and the airmail sticker thingys, you cant bypass it, and like Colin I was there for that amount of time too, a right bummer! I wrote the first draught of War and Peace: The Sequel while waiting.
