You should realise that it is a breach of someone's human rights to ask them to interrupt a mobile phone call in order that you can have a conversation with them. The person deprived of their phone call can claim damages under the Human Rights Act.


What's all this nonsense about the LL PO being busy being used by all the middle classes? Whenever I go there, there are plenty of people who don't appear to fit into the "middle class" category.

Good girl giggirl erm, anyway - absolutely spot on - be prepared, bring sellotape and a pen. been using it since way back when, and always exchage pleasentries. They are human beings behind the counter as well... and as for the phone thing - the height of rudeness.

Sending a box of chocolates half way around the world-thats the type of thing that probably held up the original poster in queue-try reading and undestanding the OP b4 popping. Did the chocs melt i wonder. .

Well if yot are happy to queue then don't complain about the staff,and put the OP right.

What GigGirl said.

If the middle classes are keeping the postal service going (and clogging up LL post office as a side effect) then hats off to them. I gave up on the Royal Mail years ago. All the chocs I send to New Zealand relatives originate from New Zealand chocolate shops. That's the beauty of the internet.

    • Agreed and in the meantime its "joe public" who has to pay through higher prices. We're talking all over the shop from food to insurance and everything in between.  And to add insult to injury they "hurt " their own voters/supporters through the actions they have taken. Sadly it gets to a stage where you start thinking about leaving London and even exiting the UK for good, but where to go????? Sad times now and ahead for at least the next 4yrs, hence why Govt and Local Authorities need to cut spending on all but essential services.  An immediate saving, all managerial and executive salaries cannot exceed and frozen at £50K Do away with the Mayor of London, the GLA and all the hanging on organisations, plus do away with borough mayors and the teams that serve them. All added beauracracy that can be dispensed with and will save £££££'s  
    • The minimum wage hikes on top of the NICs increases have also caused vast swathes of unemployment.
    • Exactly - a snap election will make things even worse. Jazzer - say you get a 'new' administration tomorrow, you're still left with the same treasury, the same civil servants, the same OBR, the same think-tanks and advisors (many labour advisors are cross-party, Gauke for eg). The options are the same, no matter who's in power. Labour hasn't even changed the Tories' fiscal rules - the parties are virtually economically aligned these days.  But Reeves made a mistake in trying too hard, too early to make some seismic changes in her first budget as a big 'we're here and we're going to fix this mess, Labour to the rescue' kind of thing . They shone such a big light on the black hole that their only option was to try to fix it overnight. It was a comms clusterfuck.  They'd perhaps have done better sticking to Sunak's quiet, cautious approach, but they knew the gullible public was expecting an 24-hour turnaround miracle.  The NIC hikes are a disaster, I think they'll be reversed soon and enough and they'll keep trying till they find something that sticks.   
    • Totally agree with you.  🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
