Anyway I asked again for the name on the parcel but the delivery postman refused and walked away my with parcel I had to chase this delivery postman down I tried to explain my reasons for asking the name on the parcel but the postman just said it wasn't his problem I've never met such a horrible arrogant obnoxious ignorant person in my life the postman has no people skills no customer relation skills and no understanding of why people ask for the name on the parcel. I've complained verbally by phone ref no is1-11461611221. I've also emailed royal mail with regards to this dreadful customer service experience it awful. I didn't win my fight with cancer to take this kind attitude problem this postman has his behaviour and attitude problem was completely unacceptable I only asked for the name on the parcel so I could give the postman access to the building at .

Situated in a historically interesting building in an old industrial centre of Edinburgh,…read moreFountainbridge, this library serves the local area well. I pretty much love all public libraries so I'm slightly bias to begin with, but Fountainbridge library really doesn't disappoint. I mean its a local library that offers book. All kinds of books for all ages. For free! What's there not to like? Of course its not huge, for a genuinely large collection you would need to venture (not far) to the central library, but it does its best. Fountainbridge Library also offers events such as storytelling sessions for children, book groups and free computing classes. It's also well serviced by bus routes and I believe the numbers 34 and 35 stop here.

Nice old fashioned library tucked away in Dundee Street in Edinburgh. Usual range of reading…read morematerial, papers and magazines. CDs too, and lots of audio books. Computers can be booked for word processing, internet and the like. Nice little children's area too. Regular storytimes and Bookstart Rhymetimes which are fun for parents with very young children.

Alongside the Scottish Parliament, the Scottish Youth Parliament was created in 1999. The remit of…read morethe parliament is to represent the views of younger people (if you are over twenty five you are now classed as no longer part of the 'younger people') and trying to get them involved in the decision making process. Yes, if you are between fourteen and twenty five you can get elected to the parliament and represent the young people in your area. It sounds great, getting young people involved in politics and getting them engaged with local issues directly affecting them. However, I am unsure how successful it has been. Its profile is still quite small, it has not been promoted in schools, colleges and universities the way it should have been. And do grown up politicians really take notice of them? (To a very limited extent perhaps) And are they really involved in the decision making process? Hopefully over the years, this parliament will mature and eventually have better publicity than one of its members who went on Big Brother!

You might be asking yourself why I am reviewing a building which functions as part of the…read moreadministrative machinery of the Scottish government. Well, it might just be an administrative building, but what a building it is! Every time I go past this building I have a sudden urge of wanting to work in their due to the design of the building and its impressiveness! Located in Leith, just across from the Ocean Terminal and in front of Commercial Quay, this building was built in the nineties and was first used by the Scottish Office before devolution. It overlooks the coast and is right bang in the centre of the redevelopment program in Leith. It is modern and looks quite light due to its light colouring and staggering amount of glass! I probably, naively, think this would be a brilliant place to work in just due to the building, but what I can be sure of is that Victoria Quay is one of the most remarkable buildings in Edinburgh!

Winding down from George IV Bridge to the Grassmarket, Victoria St. is a tourist hotspot, and…read morerightly so. What's so nice about it is all the businesses on it are independent - there's a tweed shop, a few fashion boutiques, a cheesemongers, a place for mixing your own alcohol (Demi-John) and the awesome Oink, which sells hog roast sandwiches. In fact, go to Victoria St. just to go to Oink because it's ace. It's funny too - all the aforementioned businesses run down the right hand side (going down to Grassmarket). The left is dominated by the entrance to the Underbelly (by far the best Fringe venue), Espionage (four floors of w****s), and Finnegans Wake, which has just reopened after the fire at Kushi's next door. Certainly worth a visit. But then if you're being touristy in Edinburgh you'll have probably already gone there by now.

They post letters and parcels. You can also buy all sort of cards like birthday cards , pencils, tapes, envelopes, notepads, boxes .... or send money or bank money etc. There is also a mail box around the corner where you can post your letters at any time.
