WHILST standing in a queue and rapidly losing the will to live at the GPO in Blackburn, I eventually, after an interminably long wait, ended up at the counter.

I had gone there to renew my vehicle tax for my car and while the staff member was seeing to this request he also asked me if I would like cheaper insurance through the GPO (no, I would rather go to an insurance agent); would I like cash back on my credit card (no, I would rather go to my bank!)

I would suggest that the Post Office provides the services it should, such as renewal of tax for cars in every post office so that we are not travelling the length and breadth of this town in search of a post office that carries out this particular duty.
