Over the past 30 years the number of post offices in the UK has almost halved, although numbers have remained stable over the last few years. The Post Office Network stood at 11,634 at the end of March 2015.
One thing that seems to be missing this Christmas in our local Post Office is staff.
According to Wikipedia, in September 2015 the Post Office experienced controversy when it refused to pay out travel insurance to repatriate a body because the deceased had written the wrong date for a historical operation. The Post Office refused to comment. This forced the family to attempt to raise the money to repatriate the body through crowdfunding.
