'The People's Post Office' TV ad. Wait, what?

Recently I had the misfortune to view the latest pathetic steaming pile of crap to grace our TV screens in the form of a new ad for the Post Office - ''The People's Post Office'' no less, in which a bunch of rejects from The Office normal, everyday people sit about saying how great the Post Office is and how much they do for us.

Is this the same Post Office that intends to close up to three thousand rural branches because they don't make enough money? You know... the ones used by actual people?

Is this the same Post Office that recently went on strike again, bring the delivery of important mail almost to a standstill? You know... mail intended for actual people?

Hah, it's on YouTube already:


Whoever commissioned, produced and released this ad either has the biggest balls this side of Godzilla, or is so full of shit they could fertilise next year's Chelsea Flower Show with a single bowel movement. Seriously - how exactly have the Post Office done anything for people just recently?

Oh, but at least it has Joan Collins.

HAH: Seems I'm not the only one to think the timing is great.
