Post Office Closures - Page 8

Firstly, I said it was wrong to whinge about 3 wheeled prams when they were only disallowed for health and safety policy, which have now been altered.

Secondly, most youngsters run straight to the back to sit on the back seats or the seats facing each other. Anyone who has ever used a school bus will know that on a single decker, these are like the Alpha seats of the bus, and on a double decker that status moves to being upstairs.

It's all about not being seen by the driver, and these seats are what used to be the ones hidden best from view until CCTV was introduced on buses.

You forget that with my childish attitude and age I am still old enough to be one of these so called intimidating youths, at least according to the average age of the oswaldtwistle chav.

at the end of the day, everyone is at an age where they can be intimidating, dependant on how they are acting.

The reason i used school kids and youngsters as an example is purely as the nation does have such a bad view of these youngsters, and for an old lady who is having happy slapping images thrown across her tv screen at every opportunity, she will at the very least, be nervous.

How did we get onto this from post office closures????

Because I said post offices should just be required to be within reasonable range of public transport and not walking distance.

Either way she'll have to walk somewhere whether its to the bus stop or to the post office... if anything an elderly lady would be at more risk from assault OFF the bus than on it.

Also, people don't help the stereotypes of young people when they use it as examples like that. You tell a teen that they are something and they tend to act that way. For anyone watching Eastenders right now, you will be able to see just that happening with lovely Lucy Beale.

If you must be nosey.. Jaysay refered to it as 'baffling with B*** S***' whether he was referring to his grammar or his actual comments I'm not sure but it didn't seem very nice

People are entitled to their opinions but there's ways of saying things and ways of not if you disagree.

Blazey when you do eventually grow up and enter the real world earning a wage etc.. and paying bills then i reckon your attitude will change very quickly.
I hate going on a bus full of schoolkids i find it very intimidating so god knows how eldrly people must feel.

Interesting because Greg Pope wasn't even at the debate in parliament he was posting on Accringtonweb at the time. Whilst watching the debate I noticed an awful lot of ideas put forward that would allow the post office to become manageable without huge closures. So maybe if he was taking part he might have voted in favour of saving our post offices as there were a variety of options put forward.

Gordon Prentice the Labour MP for Pendle managed to look at the issue, realise that suspending the post offices to look at them again was a good idea, and voted with the Conservatives (God forbid).

I was wondering the same. At the end of the day Jaysay was just coining a well known phrase thats pretty standard in todays language.

Besides, I might have said similar, except me dad comes on here, and even at the age of 32, I try not to swear in front of him lmao
