Victoria Wood on Post Offices
Posted on March 19th, 2008 by timalmond
From the BBC:-
Comedian Victoria Wood took part in a protest against the closure of her local branch in Highgate, north London.
She said: “It’s madness to close this post office that is bang in the middle of the village.
“It is brilliant and staffed by lovely people. I would chain myself to a pillar box if I thought it would do any good.”
In the “middle of the village”? The Village People are closer to being a village than Highgate is. Highgate is an urban area of London. It might once have been a village, but to call it that now is ridiculous. The next nearest Post Office is less than half a mile away, and there are 7 within a mile. Can’t Victoria Wood walk that far?

What’s the point of chaining herself to a pillar box? The copper would just lift the chains up over the top and cart her off, he wouldn’t even need cutting equipment.
