Post Office

This is a classic little post office that sell precisely everything that you want it to. By no means as busy as the post office in the centre of town, this is a great one to pop into if you want to avoid the queues and spend your afternoon doing something productive instead.
There is something British and charming about any post office, I think. In this age we live in swiftly moving towards a paperless society, then maybe one day these premises will, all around the country, become obsolete. Perhaps they’ll just be empty brick shells that sell stamps to collectors and pencil sharpeners (although only artists would buy them). Balls of fluff will gather in the corners.
But no! We cannot let this happen, we must support our local establishments. Without the postal system, how would housewives have affairs? How would charities give you free pens? We would all have boarded up little slots in our front doors. Support! Support!

Small post office with a difference! In addition to stocking the usual post office staples of stationary, cards etc… this sub post office had devoted 50% of its premises to being an internet café! Called ‘hub@thesub’. Customers could surf the internet for £1 per 30 minutes with tea and coffee being available. When I visited, the place was very busy with people printing, downloading etc… Although a simple idea it seemed very popular and may be a concept imitated by other sub post offices fighting for survival (and good for them)!
