Fighting 15s is off to the pub to serve you better

The local post office in Freshwater is shut for refurbishment until Thursday 19 November, which will affect when I am able to get to the post office to send out orders to customers.

Fortunately, the post office in Totland Bay has been revived after a period of closure, and is now based in The Broadway Inn – a pub run by the former postmaster. The hours are somewhat quaint for a post office, from 11am till 3pm, but conveniently correspond to the pub’s lunchtime opening hours (look, it’s a pub in a quiet part of West Wight, and it doesn’t keep town hours).

In the interests of customer service I will therefore be using The Broadway Inn while my usual post office is shut. I will, of course, not be driving there, and my return after taking customers’ parcels may be delayed.

I am delighted to report that the first trial drop at the pub has worked wonders.
