Tuesday 20th November

Gosh here we are three weeks into November already! I don't know why I should be so suprised, I feel like my new best friends are the staff at my local post office, I've been up there so often. I made a huge mistake of going to the central post office in Bristol the other day, and boy, was that stupid.

They've just spent ages tarting the place up, and when I was in there, they've got some daft new system for queuing. Instead of having a nice, clearly defined space for queueing in, you take a ticket - yep, just like the line at the deli counter in the supermarkets. Works well there doesn't it? Not in the Galleries it doesn't. The space where people would line up, and wait, nicely, probably moaning, but at least having a rough idea of how long they'd have to wait, and where they were in the queue, is full of posh chairs and irritating interruptions in the space. So you can't actually queue, you stand in the mob, with people getting angrier and angrier, because they've no idea how many people there are in front of them, how long it'll take - absolutely hopeless. I spoke to the manager, who told me this was the bright idea of their re-design people, and I am going to send an email to the customer service department, but it won't do any good. I've stopped going there. I'm lucky in that I've got a local sub post office I can get to, with a nice defined queueing space and polite people to fill it. At least I'm reasonably sure I won't get decked simply trying to get out my parcels.

Anyhow things have been flying out of my Ebay shop. I've got a special deal on postage - spend over £10.00 and you get everything sent to you free! But if you only want a couple of items, then you still get your discount - first item at £1.50, and everything else at just 0.25p.
