Is it nailed on to be the old travel agents? I do know that the Skills Shop is coming out of the Grand Arcade. That would be an ideal size.

On the other hand, I'd imagine that the old travel agents has the lowest rent in the GA due to its size and location, partly in an alleyway between the arcade and the exit so it maybe the most cost effective option for the club. As long as they retain a presence I'm happy.

She's changed her name cos he got married and did not want him to be a bigamist.
You will have to wait for official announcement on it.

I did indeed thank you very much. A very polite efficient service as usual! Was really pleased actually because I even managed to catch the postman who usually taps on the front door (annoying because I live in a flat and there's a clearly labelled buzzer), puts a card through asking me to collect from the other side of Hull and sprints up the road so I can't catch him. If anyone on here has worked for the Royal Mail and can explain why they do this I'd be interested

I've never worked for Royal Mail but I believe they do it to save time for themselves. It is quicker to post a card than it is to knock and wait for someone to answer which means they deliver all their mail quicker and can get home quicker.

My postman in Liverpool had all the cards already written and would sneak around at 7am posting them so that he didn't actually have to deliver anything.

Sounds about right but no doubt they are set ridiculous targets these days.

i dunno, but i'd love to know a few things about my postie:

a) Why does he insist on folding A5 and DL envelopes in half to push them through a letterbox which is clearly capable of receiving an A4 envelope, and he knows this, because the A4 ones come through flat! (incidentally, paperboy also folds the paper into the thinnest fold i have EVER seen a paper in... Sign going on the door saying "ATTN:- This LetterBox is This Long

b) Why he'll leave a box outside the front door, but i have to go to the sorting office in Wigan to pick up an A5 Jiffy Bag because he red carded me saying "Will not fit through letterbox" (again, i tested this, and it would... though perhaps it didn't fit because he tried folding it in half bending the laptop LCD Power Inverter contained within).

c) Is he dead? I haven't had any post for 2 weeks now!

(a) and (b) sound very familiar but can't help with (c) other than to ask if he looked quite dead the last time you saw him? I'd love not to get post for a few weeks or at least to only get the post I was meant to get. My tax credits were supposed to be paid 4 weeks ago, 3 weeks ago they needed to send me another form which was in the post same story a fortnight ago and last week each time another form being sent (this form is to confirm the identity of my daughter who was already 'identified' when I first claimed for child tax credits ). On Tuesday I was told I'd have money in my bank withing 48 hours, form not needed and today I was told there was a form in the post. I now don't know whether to expect the money to be in my bank tomorrow or for 5 or so forms to turn up at once, I suspect neither money nor form will arrive anytime soon, but its ok at least I'm getting Child Benefit, erm actually no I'm not, this also takes several weeks and numerous forms, its the Royal Mail's fault apparently, they must really dislike the DWP.

Better location - just in time for Christmas. Good luck to the great staff there.
