A very sub Post Office

I went to renew my car tax today. Once it would have been an easy stroll up to the local shops and the sub-post office. Then such good stuff was removed from sub-post offices. Then the sub-post office itself was removed.
The drone from the Post Office said that the closure was necessary in order to keep other sub-post offices open. That is garbage. Utter, utter garbage - exactly the same garbage it used the last time it had a round of closures. Lies.
Soon, it seems, there will be only the one Post Office - on Trafalgar Square - with nine counters (six open) and a queue half way up Pall Mall.
The despicable death-by-a-thousand-cuts manner in which the Post Office is abandoning small town Britain is a national disgrace.
