I've been watching the post office debate in parliament all day. Was very interesting. In the end the opposition lost the vote by only 20. This means the post office closures will be going ahead because the Conservatives and Liberals didn't have enough votes. I congratulate the Labour MP's who rebelled and voted to save the post offices. I don't have a list now but I know Gordon Prentice the Pendle Labour MP is one of them. |

Re: Post Office Closures
Hear hear, I say we start shutting down these useless politics threads, we should all go to the council and talk about it there. I'm sick of people disagreeing with their representatives, we should just sit down and shut up.

As soon as a party member can actually cut the cr*p and say what they mean, is the person that gets my vote. With regards to the actual thread (God forbid we should actually get back on topic), hows about actually running it as you would a private business and not one that has the Government and the publics money to fall back on. The post office has the largest customer base in the country, a strong brand name and loyalty (to some point) of every person living here. The service is needed, and keeps businesses and the economy of the country alive. So how comes it is failing so badly? Complacency and bad management. An owner of a normal business fights to survive as its their money thats at risk, the Post office service should be run with the same mentality. |

Re: Post Office Closures
I think it's disgraceful that elderly people and disabled people will have to struggle into town for their pension,benefit etc...
It isn't always possible for people to jump on a bus and not everybody has a car. The closure of so many post offices will affect local communities greatly imo and i think the goverment should be doing more to ensure they survive. And to the people who reckon the post offices aren't used that often,how come every time i go in there is always a pretty big queue? We as a country throw money away on many pointless schemes,surely we could find some money to keep them open? I will gladly pay my taxes if it means saving as many as possible. |

ALSO, whilst we're on it, kids don't tend to sit at the front in the seats reserved for the elderly, only when the bus is full up. Why is it that people always blame the youth? I very rarely see children on the bus full stop unless its the early morning run, and that can easily be avoided with buses running as often as they do. And if you think thats brutal, you must be seriously lacking strength of mind. What sort of a come back is grow up? |
Re: Post Office Closures
my god, would love to know what kind of buses you travel on. Have ya never tried Accy after school has just finished. Yes, kids get a negative press, but at the end of the day, a group of young lads can easily intimidate a lot of people, let alone the elderley, whether justified or not.
It p*sses me off that theres an old lady who lives round the corner from me that wont open her door after dark, and even blokes it with a chair as kids hang around the shops nr her. No one should live with that fear. And why the hell should people have to avoid buses at a certain time???? The grow up comment, purely made as you seem to live in your own idealistic child. Usually as you grow older, it becomes apparent that life is not just black and white, as you seem to view it. For someone that harps on about students and the fact that fat people annoy you, you seem to have a very immature opinion |
