Could possibly do 2 stops in one area e.g. Hapton (which is all on a hill) and would be easier for people to get to.

That would give licence to the 'Handslapped minority' with criminal tendencies to target the mobile and put the staff of this unfortunate venture at considerable risk unless they were protected by a police officer which would make this idea prohibitive in the extreme?
Why dont the government look after their own? subsidise if at all possible to keep the network of social amenities intact.
I would think that is a better idea than paying MP's huge expense bills to carry out crazy schemes to score noddy points.
I understand rightly or wrongly that it cost's more to run the European Parliament for one month than it would cost to subsidise the post office for five years...........where do we go from here.......what's next to go...not much left............Banks in trouble......Pound in trouble...........Brown having to borrow billions of pounds to keep the country afloat......Shares I have no trouble with...You takes a gamble that's your affair.....If you back a horse and it comes second you loose your money.
Sorry for this diatribe but let's get real........Maybe it wont reflect in Ossy
in the near future....The price of petrol is a start....where do we go from here?
