I would rather paid higher postage rates than lose our postal services. We take things for granted until they are suddenly gone.

But it is doing so. And the post office will continue. In a small village. What always amazes me is the post office delivers all over the country. Same rates unlike some internet companies who think in the north east of scotland we are still using stage coaches and dont have roads so charge exorbitantly. What do people do at Christmas? Turn up for their Christmas stamps and to send their Christmas parcels to find a closed up shop and wonder why.
