I READ that the people of Richmond were very pleased to find that they were to get a new post office just a few doors down from the recently closed one.

Alas, things were not quite as they seemed, unfortunately for the residents of Richmond the post office was not to be open for long. Just long enough in fact for Joan Collins, pictured, to be filmed there extolling the merits of one's local post office.

Then the "Peoples Post Office'' was dismantled and closed just like the real post office just down the road.

Funny old world ain't it ?
