Typical - left home at 9am to go to Post office in our local Co-op. Struggled up the road with armful of christmas parcels for USA - a mile to walk - only to get there and find the Government has shut the Co op post office down so had to walk another half mile to the next one - then there was a queue of 12 people - mostly old ladies - so stood in a hot stuffy queue for 15 minutes - felt really panicky but re wrote my shopping list out about 10 times to distract myself in the queue - grrrrrr!

I hate post office queues too. My local PO is hot and stuffy too and usually there is a constant line of people waiting. We have one of those rope jobs where you are penned and I find it really claustrophobic.

All the best

Old ladies? How wonderful! They're very difficult to see, you know. One must approach very quietly and keep low to the ground.

Well done for coping Wenjoy :hugs:

I know it's not easy. I had to queue for ages at the post office at my local Asda last week to send parcels and cards and supermarkets are my least favourite place to be, but I have mobility problems and it was the easiest place to park with disabled parking.
