The People's Post Office

[Damini]

Am I the only one that finds this quasi communist, princess Diana, Nu Labour title for the post office really, really nauseating?

Especially after I went into the Post Office in town today to discover it was being closed down, and all the staff that worked there for years and years are out of a job because WHSmiths, where it is moving to, wants to train up its own staff.

Perhaps they are trying invoke images of lots of people in the street crying. Or fighting over a loaf of bread, and then grassing each other up to the over lord government.

Either way, it rankled.

Tin foil hats on standby.

Yes, the adverts, and it's also the phrase now wrapped around the post office logo on all paperwork. I'm trying to think of some funny In Soviet Russia joke about the People's Post Office, but all I'm getting in a simmering rage, and a fear that people are watching me through the letterbox

Bugger, IVAN! WE'VE BEEN SPOTTED!!! CHEESE IT!!

On a slightly more serious note, is there actually any other change to the post office other than a ridiculously cheesy name? They arnt going to have posties doing that russian cossak dance down the street or anything?

And you'll get put in a room full of INDIAN CALL CENTRE STAFF!

Ant powder...

(I actually thought that was funny when I saw it the first time)

 

[Arnie 2Tone]

I don't mind the new advert, but only because the fat bastard in it gave me a pint of beer and his autograph a few months back... (I only really wanted the beer).

socialism is great and all but a shit company is a shit company no matter what flavour of top level management is in vogue.
