The powers that be, in London, at least 800 miles from where we are, have advised us to go to our next nearest MAIN post office to post parcels, mail, get driving licenses, tax discs, passport applications checked, deal with savings, 21 miles ferry journey across the sea!!!!!!!!!! These services are all the specific things a major office does. Other options for basic services are, sub-post offices about 5 miles equidistant or another larger post office 40 miles round trip by road.ZACLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07289333819869440699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7169036.post-89343835784272763812013-12-13T09:53:58.512+00:002013-12-13T09:53:58.512+00:00Not much different to here, really, Dale.
