  @Fintolini @paddyb_ireland @PostOffice Thing is, why buy foreign currency at the Post Office? Their rates are awful. Just get yourself an fx card, such as Revolut or Wise.

  @IndiaPostOffice is one of the most inefficient public service institutions, suffering from poor accountability, lack of ownership, and an outdated customer experience. Employees often appear insulated from the consequences of poor service, which ultimately hurts citizens. If meaningful reforms are not possible within the current structure, the government should seriously consider privatization or introducing greater competition to bring accountability, efficiency, and customer-centricity into the system. @JM_Scindia, some immediate reforms that can significantly improve India Post: • Mandatory acceptance of UPI and digital payments at every post office. • Clearly defined and publicly visible SLAs for all services. • Mandatory explanations and accountability whenever an SLA is breached. • A designated officer/team responsible for every stage of a service request. • A centralized grievance, escalation, and resolution system with proper tracking. • Real-time service tracking and greater transparency. • Regular publication of performance and grievance-resolution metrics. India Post serves millions of citizens. It deserves a system built on accountability, ownership, and measurable service standards. #postoffice

  POST OFFICE JAILED AN INNOCENT WOMAN Imagine. You run a small @PostOffice in Hull. You show up every day, you serve your community, you do the job. Then one day a computer program called Horizon decides you owe £59,000 that never existed. A computer program with a known glitch problem. Post Office didn't check the software. It just marched Janet Skinner into court in 2007 and got her jailed for 9 months. She served 2 behind bars. She lost her house. She lost her job. She lost her name in the eyes of her own neighbours, all because nobody in a position of power fancied questioning a machine. Here's where any decent organisation would stop digging the hole ... The Post Office kept digging. A year after she walked out of prison, they hauled her back into court again, this time chasing her for "proceeds of crime." Proceeds of a crime she never committed, calculated by a system that couldn't add up in the first place. Bold strategy from the people who broke the calculator in the first place. Less than two weeks after that fresh nightmare finally ended, Janet's body gave out completely. Neurological collapse. Paralysed from the neck down. Doctors told her she'd never walk again. She spent a year in a wheelchair and two years learning to walk. She says her own immune system turned on her. Years of fighting a system that refused to admit fault, and in the end it was her own body that surrendered first. So how does this story end? With an apology? A cheque that actually matches what she lost? Of course not. In 2025, after everything, the compensation scheme handed her an offer worth around 15% of her claim. Janet called it an insult. I'd call it a joke, except nobody's laughing, least of all the people who wrote the offer letter from the comfort of a job that still exists. 9 months in prison for a bug. 2 years in a wheelchair for the stress of proving her innocence. A payout that wouldn't cover the damage to her health, let alone her life. And somewhere, the people who signed off on her prosecution are still drawing a pension. Nobody who signed off on any of this has lost a house, a job, or a night's sleep. They got promotions. She got a wheelchair and an insulting cheque. Accountability had every chance to show up here and chose not to.. SOURCES @BBCNews @itvnews and others.

  @KarlSeed29 @PostOffice Post offices are franchised and often family run , they could have an emergency, a bereavement , lots of things could have happened , maybe cut them a bit of slack and use another office this once

  @ArturNadol7566 @PostOffice I think the worst thing is how nobody has been held to account over any of this.
