We are sad to say we are leaving 😢


Before we go, we wanted to let you know how much we have enjoyed our time here. Thank you all for your support, kindness, lovely comments on this forum here and friendship over the past nearly 30 years. You are a special group of people and we will definitely miss you all.


This was a Main Post Office, privately owned rather than directly managed offering full range of services and will remain so. It will reopen on Monday 2nd July after being refurbished and will benefit from extended hours, offering Post Office services 7 days a week. Selected transactions will only be available core hours and these will be advertised on the Post Office website.


It was our decision to sell as the time was right for us. Please come and say hi when you see us as we?re not moving from the area.


Thank you

Nilesh, Anita & Raj

^^ what Cornelia said.


You are such a big part of our FHR community and we will really miss you! Thank you so much Nilesh, Anita and Raj for always being so kind and friendly. My kids call the P.O 'Raj's.' It won't be the same without you,


Best of luck to you all,


Lucy, Cody, Pea, CB and the twins xx

I hope Nilesh, Anita and Raj will read this. We are so sad to read this thread. You have been so kind and helpful, particularly keeping an eye out on our elderly relative and contacting us with your concerns about her. You are an amazing crew and we will miss you so much. Wishing you all the best whatever the future holds. K and A
Absolutely agreed that the previous incumbents were exemplary and deserve huge thanks for the service they have offered over (many) years - but let's hope that the new team will see them as a role model to follow - in terms of good and helpful service. It appears that the time of leaving was their choice, however sad they are to leave (and we are to lose them) - but the show must go on!

I really cannot add any more than what has already been said by every single other comment here. Just so incredibly rare to have such universal praise, love and respect without exception on here! How many shop owners would inspire a 4 yr old to bring back a holiday present for them before than their own grandparents?!!


Thank you and good luck Raj, Nilesh & Anita.

    • Direct link to joint statement : https://thehaguegroup.org/meetings-bogota-en/?link_id=2&can_id=2d0a0048aad3d4915e3e761ac87ffe47&source=email-pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogota-breakthrough&email_referrer=email_2819587&email_subject=pi-briefing-no-26-the-bogot_-breakthrough&&   No. 26 | The Bogotá Breakthrough “The era of impunity is over.” That was the message from Bogotá, Colombia, where governments from across the Global South and beyond took the most ambitious coordinated action since Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza began 21 months ago. Convened by The Hague Group and co-chaired by the governments of Colombia and South Africa, the Emergency Conference on Palestine brought together 30 states for two days of intensive deliberation — and emerged with a concrete, coordinated six-point plan to restrain Israel’s war machine and uphold international law. States took up the call from their host, Colombian President and Progressive International Council Member Gustavo Petro, who had urged them to be “protagonists together.” Twelve governments signed onto the measures immediately. The rest now have a deadline: 20 September 2025, on the eve of the United Nations General Assembly. The unprecedented six measures commit states to:     Prevent military and dual use exports to Israel.     Refuse Israeli weapons transfers at their ports.     Prevent vessels carrying weapons to Israel under their national flags.     Review all public contracts to prevent public institutions and funds from supporting Israel’s illegal occupation.     Pursue justice for international crimes.     Support universal jurisdiction to hold perpetrators accountable. “We came to Bogotá to make history — and we did,” said Colombian President Gustavo Petro. “Together, we have begun the work of ending the era of impunity. These measures show that we will no longer allow international law to be treated as optional, or Palestinian life as disposable.” The measures are not symbolic. They are grounded in binding obligations under international law — including the International Court of Justice’s July 2024 advisory opinion declaring Israel’s occupation unlawful, and September 2024’s UN General Assembly Resolution ES-10/24, which gave states a 12-month deadline to act. UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory Francesca Albanese called them “a momentous step forward.” “The Hague Group was born to advance international law in an era of impunity,” said South Africa’s Foreign Minister, Ronald Lamola. “The measures adopted in Bogotá show that we are serious — and that coordinated state action is possible.” The response from Washington was swift — and revealing. In a threatening statement to journalists, a US State Department spokesperson accused The Hague Group of “seeking to isolate Israel” and warned that the US would “aggressively defend our interests, our military, and our allies, including Israel, from such coordinated legal and diplomatic” actions. But instead of deterring action, the threats have only clarified the stakes. In Bogotá, states did not flinch. They acted — and they invite the world to join them. The deadline for further states to take up the measures is now two months away. And with it, the pressure is mounting for governments across the world — from Brazil to Ireland, Chile to Spain — to match words with action. As Albanese said, “the clock is now ticking for states — from Europe to the Arab world and beyond — to join them.” This is not a moment to observe. It is a moment to act. Share the Joint Statement from Bogotá and popularise the six measures. Write to your elected representative and your government and demand they sign on before 20 September. History was made in Bogotá. Now, it’s up to all of us to ensure it becomes reality, that Palestinian life is not disposable and international law is not optional. The era of impunity is coming to an end. Palestine is not alone. In solidarity, The Progressive International Secretariat  
    • Most countries charge for entry to museums and galleries, often a different rate for locals (tax payers) and foreign nationals. The National Gallery could do this, also places like the Museums in South Kensington, the British Library and other tax-funded institutions. Many cities abroad add a tourist tax to hotel bills. It means tourists help pay for public services.
