The central Headington PO has been twice threatened with closure and just
because it is not on the present list does not mean it won't be next time.
Royal Mail and Post Office Ltd are two different things, so comparison between
Royal Mail and the US postal delivery service is completely misleading.
How can it prove that people here are better off for having to lose 2,500 local
Post Offices?
One possible thing we could do to try to prop up our Post Offices is to buy
their telephone and internet services. It's probably too little too late, but
it may help.
I deeply sympathize with Stephanie's problems vis-a-vis the sorting-office
situation and have had similar experiences myself. I used to be very critical
of them but my attitude changed when I realized what they are up against.
