A few weeks ago our main post office wasnt open due to people not getting there because of snow. Some of the smaller ones were.
Sometimes the computers are down in the local one , due to power c ut.s..
Not sure if it should happen but it does.!!!!
Never know it for more than one day though.

Many thanks, the previous owners always had someone come in to cover for them if they were away.

Inlaws both ran separate sub post offices and always had to arrange for cover. However on both occasions when they died suddenly some 10 years apart each post office closed immediately. MIL's never reopened as we had no desire to carry it on.

Our shop/post office changed owners a few weeks ago, and was shut for a week. Today the PO is closed, although the shop is open.
Thanks for the replies,
