The post office was eventually relocated to inside Centra supermarket diagonally across the road. Friendly staff, still learning so a bit slow but fair enough but have had to wait far too long when some local wants to natter with the cashier - they need to be aware of queues but again, the layout and situation of the tiny PO is awful as the queue for supermarket cashiers cuts across the front of the PO counter - very poorly plannef and the PO should have been placed at the back of the shop where people buying stamps would spot food etc to buy!!

As much as I intensely dislike (my grannie always told me to never say hate) going to pick up a…read moreparcel because I was out, these guys are usually pretty nice and sort me out quickly. I've been a fair few times, the latest being this morning, when I went to fetch my graduation photos. My two pet intense dislikes (not hates, of course) of the Royal Mail Delivery Office are: a) The fact that it is so blinkin' difficult to find. I once ended up in the actual sorting office, when some employee saw me looking exceedingly lost and pointed me in the right direction. The next time I went, I still couldn't find the office first time round. For those of you who will undoubtedly suffer the same fate, when you come to the metal gate, turn right down the path. Don't go through those gates, whatever you do! b) There is nowhere to park, except a miserable couple of spaces just outside those darned gates. Both sides of Prince Regent Road are double yellows, so you have to go with someone and they then have to wait on you. Very frustrating. When you have parked the car and found your way in, it's all pretty straightforward. One of the guys this afternoon was in great form, telling me he'd checked out my photos, and they were awful, and haha, he was only joking. Amusing to say the least. Oh, and even though it may say to bring I.D. with you, I've never been checked. Just a wee hint. If you're (un)lucky enough to have to pop over to the Belfast East Delivery Office (why the heck didn't they keep it on the Albertbridge Road), at least you'll be well prepared. You are most welcome.
I am one of those east Belfast people who queue up regularly at the Prince Regent Road collection…read morecentre on cold Saturday mornings - so consider this. Since more and more of us buy on-line for bigger stuff that we used to carry home on the bus. So now, post men drive round to our doors when we aren't there, because we work at the same time that they work - the house is empty! So can we resolve this silly practise? - An idea. Someone design a 'big red box', securely fitted to your wall 'round the back' or something. If you are expecting a delivery then leave the box open before you go to work. I nice friendly notice on your front door can direct the nice delivery man to this 'big red box'. All he has to do is to place the parcel in the box and close the SELF-LOCKING' lid. So if the lid is closed when you come home you have mail! - or the neighbour's cat. Of course, two deliveries in one day qualifies you for a trip to Prince Regent on the next Saturday - space out your purchases a bit. A similar problem for terraced houses and apartments could be addressed by a sort of 'big red cat flap' in the door. So if the cat flap is swinging when you come home, then you've got mail - or the neighbour's cat again. If we don't do something, we will be queued out to the Castlereagh Road soon. PS: The guys who work in the office are second to none - but worked off their feet. Happy Christmas to all in the queue.
Parking is tighy outside,only 3 spaces but lots of room on the roads if you're early and avoid the double yellows.

I could understand if a copy had to be kept on record but the member of staff just looks at it and hands it back.

Also in this age of everyone being encouraged to NOT PRINT it is not a great example from what used to be - one of our great icons- ROYAL MAIL.

As well as the usual post office counter services, it also carries a small range of gifts and a large range of cards.

Automan Driving School is a little bit different in terms of driving schools. When I walked through…read morethe In Shops I walked past Automan but at first glance I presumed it was some sort of interactive computer games arcade but to my surprise it was a real life driving school. The representative explained that Automan was a Driving school that used driving simulators, the same as the ones pilots use in training, to build up confidence of young drivers before they go n the road. This is a unique way of teaching and Automan driving School offers special deals for on aroad and simulator lessons. They believe that the combination of simulated driving and on the road driving will be enough for you to pass your test. The location of their simulators is a bit strange, I thought they may have put them in an office where people who had paid for lessons could properly concentrate but instead they are slap bang in the middle of the In Shops and this is often busy and noisy. It did not strike me as the best place to learn how to drive, even if it is a simulator. A one hour simulator lesson costs £12 which is much cheaper than an on the road lesson, but you do not get any one to one help with an instructor. Only time will tell if this will be a hit but I think it is a pretty good way of building confidence and learning driving technique.
