P Off again!...

PO competition: Guess the opening times!

Tonbridge Post Office are at it again! With just a tiny amount of research down Tonbridge High Street this morning Tonbridge Blog was able to glean that Monsoon will be open until at least 5-30pm, as will New Look and WH Smith and, no doubt, many other shops. The main Post Office however will close at 4pm and not reopen until next Tuesday(apparently there's a notice on the entrance door although I couldn't see it.) They make no apology for this, it does not appear on there web site although if you can manage to get hold of the branch through their centralized telephone system, then I feel sure that they'd have informed you in a friendly manner of their early closing! I know I've expressed how p'd off I am with the PO before but come off it this is ridiculous! People and small businesses are relying on them to be reliable and that includes staying open. Ok it is News Years Eve but it isn't a bank holiday and you are supposedly a national service and surely have a duty to be open at least until the end of normal trading hours; this is especially so given the huge backlog of letters and parcels due to the recent cold weather. If commercial shops can stay open then so should the main Post Office in Angel Walk. But then I suppose the staff have got to get home to get ready for their NYE parties and nights veging out in front of Jools Holland's Hootananny. We wouldn't want to disturb that now would we! So have a great time, see you next Tuesday but only if you feel like opening. You know if you have a bit of a hang over then we'll all just wait until you're ready!....
