A slow wander down the road led to the early packets being deposited into the care of Royal Mail. The care is not what it was but what can you expect with a Tory government that cares only for making money for themselves? Privatised Royal Mail, with precedence being given to parcels, cares little about actual mail today. This is the reason letters are delayed, postmen confused day by day as to what role they will play, and an attempt to sell of Royal Mail parcels to the people who now run Royal Mail will come before the election.
Rejoice! Rejoice!
Note the Post Office name!
The Jubilee Oak used to sit just up the road from this shop. It sat in the middle of the road until they redesigned the road, chopped down the tree and the shops on the corner, which stuck out a fair bit, and installed traffic lights and dare-devil crossings.
I suspect it was Victoria's jubilee, lots appear to have been planted at that time for jubilee, they did the same for the last queen. How many were conveniently placed so as to block the clogged roads 70 years or so later?
Nothing else happened...

When we lived in France there was a magnificent oak tree in the square in front of the Mairie....centuries old. They cut it down to make for more parking for the restaurant on the other side of the square....pity they didn't think about the stump...
Fly, Road traffic more important, bar the stump...
