    Thanks for that, but I'll stick with the original. If folk sit at home and tax their cars, renew their passports and pay their phone bill online, rather than posting a cheque, then they are not supporting their post office. In turn, it will cease to be viable, and closes. Then they complain there is no post office any more.

    I would guess it has little to do with the lack of use because the punters are lined up down Bridge Street most days, but more a lack of margin to make it viable. It doesn't really matter how many folk come through the door if the margin is too small to make a living at it.
