Has to be the worst post office in Britain…read more Its my local post office so I'm oftem forced to use it.....can honestly say that approximately 75% of the time whatever i go there to do is unsuccessful and it is ALWAYS 100% due to the incompetence and laziness of of the staff either giving me what i later find out is erroneous info or just not being there due to "lunch" or illness. They WILL tell you thar youre "too late" or "its the wrong form" or "thats the wrong type" or " its not something a post office does"......theyre lying....they just dont want to. When they do take on a bit of work and give you info on delivery times etc DOUBLE CHECK IT as they make it up on the spot.....even when you dont ask they make stuff up to tell you.....they havent a clue. Expect queues out the door and a stinking attitude from someone who acts like theyre doing you a favour when you get to the front of it.

Midway between St Pauls and the M32 out of Bristol sits the sleepy district of Bristol, St…read moreWerburghs. Not a lot is known about this merry little place packed full of colourful vans, nice takeaways and green spaces - until you start to explore. Mina Road Park is an excellent place to begin your exploration and in a relatively small space such as this you can find quite a lot. My favourite feature has to be the abundance of marvellously large oak tress possibly hundreds of years old. It's wonderful to sit in the leafy groves on a sunny day and guess the things they've seen appear and disappear. There's an enormous array of wildlife here too from newts and frogs, to dragonflies and sticklebacks in the daytime and bats and owls and night. With two quintessential bridges straddling the river as it curls round the perimeter and a bright and colourful play area this park is fantastic for children.

There is not a lot to get excited about here but after all it is only a post office…read more Like many village Post Offices it also sells a random selection of stationary, gifts, sweets and birthday cards. Some of the cards look like they were manufactured before I was born which isn't great but then they are only £1. However, I have to commend this post office as along side the crappy cards and naff gifts they also have a pretty decent selection of fair trade goods and a small selection of beast clothing! Now that is something you don't expect to see in a village post office so well done!

From 11am til 2pm you will almost certainly be queuing for at least 15 minutes. The staff are a little stressed sometimes but always polite and friendly. There is a photo booth for those gorgeous passport photos but nothing else in that room - all leaflets and stationery are only available at the counter.

In many parts of Bristol I actually rather enjoy the post office experience. I enjoy the colourful…read moreand happy take people have on a seemingly mundane job, guessing what customers are sending and chatting to the staff. In Henleaze, unfortunately, that's a far cry from this postal reality. It must be something to do with the many retirement homes in the area because this post office moves at a frustrating slow snail pace. There's a passport photo machine in the corner but aside from that it could be 1932 in here. 1932 at Christmas time - because they're always selling Christmas paper! In fact, I don't think the scene inside has ever changed. Maybe it is a time warp. Maybe, other than to post socks to your ailing nan, you could pop in here to actually sample the pace of life of a time gone. Thus go here. Go now, if not for the novelty factor alone.

There is nothing here that you won't find in any other high street newsagent; a mid room selection of greeting cards, a wide range of magazines and newspapers or a sweet section for kids at knee level. There is also the obligatory National Lottery machine and some scratch card dispensers. There is, of interest, also a post office at the rear of the shop. It's just one hatch and one little old lady who is rarely there but when she is, it is a post office. Sometimes, it's all about the simple things.

You're given a smartcard to purchase daily subsistence up to a value of £5.15 at the on site canteen which ain't cheap or particularly great, I found it cheaper to leave to eat at lunchtimes. Make sure you're aware of what you can claim back, especially parking, loss of earnings and child minding costs.

I'm glad to say the latter is the capacity which has seen me at this court. Bristol Crown Court has seen some really decent cases in recent years - from that perverted female nursery teacher from Devon who abused the kids in her care to the wannabe Bristol terrorist. It's well worth checking out the Bristol Evening Post for these alone. If you want to go into the court, which you can do (it is a public court after all) you will have to walk through the security check point, which is just like the ones you get at airports. You will then have to navigate the elevators and the maze of court rooms. Here's hoping you are never there through necessity rather than choice! ;)
