We have a proper postmistress - the post office is in the grocery shop - with a little cubicle and a computerised cost calculator. If, for some reason, the computer isn't working, you can buy a stamp but there is nobody to tell you to which value.<br /><br />If your letter or parcel needs weighing, or needs to go outside the country, you've had it.
