New Post Office Opening Hours: er when we feel like it....

They did it to me again again. Most of the shops down Tonbridge High Street managed to stay open till after 5pm but not our dear old Post Office in Angel Walk. Don't worry though, it's only the main branch in the town and one which small businesses, like mine, rely on to be open. I managed to keep my little enterprise open longer than the 4pm which the sign on the PO window said they'd closed at so why can't they? Come off it if you are going to close all the sub PO's down then you have a civic duty to keep the main one open till proper closing time. I should have phoned first to check whether they were open, I hear you all muttering to yourselves. Tried that and got a ridiculously long recorded message asking me to press buttons and asking me did I want to talk about travel insurance products etc so I thought I'd chance it. All this meant that I had to struggle home in the blizzard up Quarry Hill with a great big bag full of parcels (get the violins out) and then back down the hill with them again this morning. Sort it out will you it really is pathetic. Royal Mail? I'm not sure that our Queen would want to be associated with an organsation which shows such lack of commitment....

Closed at 4.00 today while I struggled home through the snow with my 'should have been' special delivery. I give up!
