• IT seems like only yesterday that the impoverished and overcrowded Camden Town post office was transformed into the present state-of-the-art premises…, (Post Office warned it faces backlash over plans to downsize Camden Town branch, August 2).

Our Jewel in the Crown’s collective,
Stamped with space and so effective,
So why abdicate,
For sad franchise fate,
“Please go to the counter-productive”?
