MH needs road tax renewing on 1st Sept, goe's into storage tomorrow whilst I go back to work (at sea) for a month. OK says her goodself renew the tax, off I pops to our local PO run by a couple for many years who are not the most popular folk in town because of their attitudes, pedantic was probably invented for them!
Small PO so only 2 serving hatches, she's at one hubby has sign up at other saying no service this counter and is shuffling paperwork about whilst queue is 7-8 customers long. After 7-8 minutes my turn to be served hands over insurance, money and tax renewal which she carefully goes through looks at me and in a very loud voice announces "Your insurance ends 31st August Tax is for 1st Sept, I protest saying renewal docs are in the post. No use the dragon pushes the paperwork back to me loudly telling me to come back with a valid insurance document.
This was shortly after 4pm today, so 3 miles back home, phones insurance who understandingly email me insurance docs, (only renewed by phone last Friday on our return from hols)
Back to PO his lordship is still hiding behind his sign queue is still to door, eventually served when realistaion must have dawned unless he helped out he'd not be able to shut shop on time!
Eventually managed to renew my tax, makes you wonder if its worth fighting to keep small PO's open when they treat customers like this.:Sad::Sad::Sad:
