As stated earlier, way back in the thread, I do think it is sad that many Post Offices have closed, and many more may face closure in the future.

Unfortunately many people's habits have changed for ever, just as many people now find it easier to do a weekly shop at a supermarket, than patronise their local high street shops. Sad, but a fact.

How underused, and unprofitable, would a Post Office have to be, before it's closure was deemed acceptable?

Again, as stated earlier, let us not forget that these Post Offices are privately owned concerns, and I can't think of many other private businesses that receive tax payer's money to help keep them afloat.
