There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music. David Osland 2025

The building is still there, but it doesn't look like it is a Post Office any longer ...

There used to be a post office in Puddington as well at one time, not sure when it closed, perhaps 1980 (ish), then people from the village had to go to Burton, and i fell sure the post office moved into Swift's butchers shop over the road, and last time i passed that shop was empty !.
