Politically active parents

ByGwyn Fisher

I read this article this morning in me RSSes but failed to notice a picture of me dad in it. Mum’s off to the right apparently.

I really hope they don’t shut the Kingston post office, it’d be a real loss to the village. And nowhere else sells KSM-themed key chains…

  1. Actually Jen is probably (metaphorically) somewhere o ff to the Left. What it is to have politically active parents….!

  2. It’s the same story round here. And you might think that in London we are spoilt for choice, but that’s not quite so. I can go to my nearest one, which has a half hour queue and no room for a wheelchair user, or I can drive to my favourite where they know me by name and my wheelchair fits in the shop with no bother.

    Strangely they are keeping ALL the ones in my area – Leytonstone – but getting rid of ALL the ones a few miles away in Walthamstow. You’d think they’d keep one in each…

    Very odd. And quite depressing.

  3. Just realised it’s not Kingston pictured, but Shuttern!

    (And Mr Lees The Blind Man is a councillor now.)

    My dad uses Shuttern post office. Shame on my parents, they should have been demonstrating too!

  4. It’s not too late for your folks to log into the Gazette online and leave a comment… If that doesn’t influence the democratic process I don’t know what will. Good job there’s local celebs like Richard Lees, Jeremy Browne and Alan Wedderkopp on hand.

    Another interesting article in the gazette was the one about the bus getting stuck under the railway bridge. Andy off of Flickr has a better photo. I can’t work out how that happened, they inflated the tires too much. The driver lost weight? The bus expanded in the spring heat? Heavy trains? Too many pidgeons? … so many questions.

  5. It’s FAR too late for them to login. I don’t have a year free to teach them how to use the internet for a start!

    Bus stuck under bridge? This is news?

    Things must (still) be slow in Somerset.
