I have just been to the post office
So what you may ask Shrugs:
It has recently been 'done up'
As you enter you are met by a concierge type person ..."what service would you like madam "I was asked .
If you wanted a counter service you are given a ticket ( just like the deli counter at Sainsbury's ) and directed to go and sit in the comfy leather chair seating area until your number is called eeek:
"I just want to post a parcel abroad " I said
I was then told that I didn't need to wait ....and directed to the self serve machines.
Plonk it onto the weighing machine ...type into the screen where you want it to go to and then choose from the menu your delivery options.
Out pops the printed stamp label. Stick it on and pop it into the box right next to machine eeek:
Less than 2 minutes all in all eeek:
I appreciate it's no guarantee that it is going to get there but nevertheless a totally different experience than the one I had been prepared for cloud9:

So what are you sending to Cyprus this time? ::)

eeek: Good grief does this mean I will no longer have to queue behind wrinklies dressed in beige and smelling of stale urine, them not me you understand, well, possibly me one or twice. redface:

Nope ...no queueing ...or untidy like queues
People waiting but sitting comfortably until their number was called...

Of the course the comfy sofas will probably end up smelling of stale wee.

I've been to the post office of the past today in Limassol...
Posted fifty assorted cards Xmas3: - had to lick and stick three stamps on each... I can barely speak now with glue mouth... Yuk:
Why can't they invent a machine that simply prints the value of the stamp on the card...? Shrugs:
-
Here in the UK we can buy self adhesive stamps or we can buy postage on-line and print the "stamp" direct to a sticky label whistle:
But of course according to Lord Rumba of Rio our postal service needs updating. ::)

Next time take a bucket of water and a sponge
