We love the Post Offices. Our attachment to them is rooted in the deep belief that through the last decades, whatever happens, come good or bad, the local branch will always be there.
Every local post office is simultaneously, a mail office, a bank branch, a stationery shop and many other things. Post offices are hubs of activity that offer the rare opportunity to be nice to your elders at the queue or test your resilience by ignoring the teenager shouting ‘Oh my God and she went like…’ on her mobile phone inches away from your ear.The Royal Mail network was 18,000-strong in 1999, but now stands at about 14,000. For years already, the planned closures of thousands of post offices set off outcry across the country. We Londoners tend to believe that only remote rural areas are affected, so it comes as a surprise to find out that even our city will see many offices go.
Interestingly, the online interest for the Post Offices and Royal Mail keeps growing at least since 2004:
