I still don’t understand why in a time when everyone and their uncle are having stuff delivered from eBay or Amazon or whoever
( we get about around 4 or 5 parcels/packages a week ) the Post Office are losing money and closing branches down !

It was the attitude of the post office bigwigs until that drama dragged this out into the light.

Don't forget this is public money, which could be going to the NHS...

Another One

[People wrongly prosecuted following a faulty
Post Office IT system, which predates Horizon,
are to be compensated, reports The i Paper.

An investigation found that postmasters using
Capture in the 1990s were likely
to have suffered unexplained losses.]

Justice is all well and good but at this point it's just a word. It costs nothing and refunds nothing. When will they be fully paid the compensation they deserve? That's what I'd like to know.

When I was in the valley one day I went into the PO as normal and the regular Post Master (lovely chap) was not there. A few weeks later I was told that he left the town in a hurry as he had been stealing money, which at the time was odd, it was only relatively recently I then connected the Horizon thing to him
