today has sunk to a low i hoped to never encounter. i have been told by a member of the post office counter staff to fuck off!!! yes me who supports local post offices, have spent the majority of my forty years believing in the 'post office'. i started like a lot of my generation having a savings account at my grandads local post office. each week my mum or grandad would put a small amount into this account, for years each saturday morning i went across the road to do this and the staff there got to know me and my brothers by name. also we would buy a selection of sweets stored in jars behind another counter in that post office. yes we live in the 21st century and business is business, the post office has to move with the times or die out, but local post offices offering more than just stamps is part of the british way of life! we should keep local post offices,BUT ONLY IF THE STAFF STICK TO SIMPLE RULES LIKE NOT SWEARING AT MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC. yes i have made a formal complaint but how can i continue using a service were basic customer service values are not even used?.

anyway back to the comment i started last night but because of poor ergonomics on the part of my computer i caught the power button with my leg and the thing evaporated into nothing!!!

my mate like me is an unsociable bugger, he like me can go for weeks without contact and it doesn't bother him. i live round the corner from him and still only see him intermitently (we are best mates) and yet he, like me, is on facebook!!!. social networking sites do they actually work? or is it that through a monitor and down a wire is the only way i wish to communicate with the outside world? i hope not..
