Has to be the worst post office in Britain…read more Its my local post office so I'm oftem forced to use it.....can honestly say that approximately 75% of the time whatever i go there to do is unsuccessful and it is ALWAYS 100% due to the incompetence and laziness of of the staff either giving me what i later find out is erroneous info or just not being there due to "lunch" or illness. They WILL tell you thar youre "too late" or "its the wrong form" or "thats the wrong type" or " its not something a post office does"......theyre lying....they just dont want to. When they do take on a bit of work and give you info on delivery times etc DOUBLE CHECK IT as they make it up on the spot.....even when you dont ask they make stuff up to tell you.....they havent a clue. Expect queues out the door and a stinking attitude from someone who acts like theyre doing you a favour when you get to the front of it.

Midway between St Pauls and the M32 out of Bristol sits the sleepy district of Bristol, St…read moreWerburghs. Not a lot is known about this merry little place packed full of colourful vans, nice takeaways and green spaces - until you start to explore. Mina Road Park is an excellent place to begin your exploration and in a relatively small space such as this you can find quite a lot. My favourite feature has to be the abundance of marvellously large oak tress possibly hundreds of years old. It's wonderful to sit in the leafy groves on a sunny day and guess the things they've seen appear and disappear. There's an enormous array of wildlife here too from newts and frogs, to dragonflies and sticklebacks in the daytime and bats and owls and night. With two quintessential bridges straddling the river as it curls round the perimeter and a bright and colourful play area this park is fantastic for children.

In many parts of Bristol I actually rather enjoy the post office experience. I enjoy the colourful…read moreand happy take people have on a seemingly mundane job, guessing what customers are sending and chatting to the staff. In Henleaze, unfortunately, that's a far cry from this postal reality. It must be something to do with the many retirement homes in the area because this post office moves at a frustrating slow snail pace. There's a passport photo machine in the corner but aside from that it could be 1932 in here. 1932 at Christmas time - because they're always selling Christmas paper! In fact, I don't think the scene inside has ever changed. Maybe it is a time warp. Maybe, other than to post socks to your ailing nan, you could pop in here to actually sample the pace of life of a time gone. Thus go here. Go now, if not for the novelty factor alone.

It saddens me that in a few years time Post Offices probably won't exist anymore. Although located…read morein a pretty rough area, the staff are always so polite and patient (especially with me, I find the whole Special Delivery, Recorded Delivery etc very confusing!). It's also in a handy location meaning that you don't have to go all the way into town for your posting needs. It has always been pretty busy here and I would say my average waiting time is roughly 10 minutes. Apart from the staff, it's a pretty average post office so not much else to report!

The phrase 'to go postal' as in to go mad, I have been told, comes from the sense of boredom and…read morefrustration found in a post office. This is true of many such places I have visited in my time. This post office however is different. I actually rather enjoy the colourful queues, trying to guess what people are sending and where. Maybe it's the general vibe of this exciting and community based side of town, or maybe it's the vibe created by the friendly shop staff. They try very hard to keep their collections of newspapers, gift cards and alcohol under control. There's also a wide selection of food on offer here from canned goods to sandwiches and wraps. A hidden secret about this place is the free cash point at the back, the only cash point for at least fifteen minutes each way. Open till 9pm on weekends, this has to be a winning feature.

This post office is definately different from the rest! Its kind of organised chaos here and very…read morefriendly too. If you have lots of parcels with prepaid postage this is the place to take them as they never check the weight, dump them in front of the counter, get your receipt stamped and run. If you want forms or queries about anything dont bother asking as he does not know the answers and will just direct you to a main post office Service is fast so thats a bonus and you can always claim from RM if someone lifts your parcels when they are left all over the floor on the customers side

With the trend towards mega-stores and even larger combinations, such as hyper-stores, it is easy…read morefor the customer to be distanced from management by sheer size of the operation or the speed of turnover. It is thus so refreshing to discover stores that still retain the friendliness of the proverbial "village shop". In a small-town post office, I noted a whole wall of historic sweet jars filled with an amazing variety of tasty morsels. On enquiry, I discovered, to my delight, that I could choose any combination I fancied they would be weighed out individually. Of course, I was like a youngster in a toyshop. Such "mini moments of adventure" enrich the day even the week!! If you are in that area, call in and find out about the warm welcome. Global Nomad
