It’s really annoying when you go to your doormat only to find one of those ‘we missed you’ card despite the fact that you were in the damn house. It’s even more annoying that you have to wait 48 hours before you can collect it and that you have to find some collection office in the middle of no-​where and queue for hours (with ID) to collect your item. However, the Bristol collection office proved to be the most straightforward experience I have ever had of this kind. For starters, it is just a five minute walk from my house and very easy to find — it’s right next to Montpelier railway station. Secondly, it’s not too busy and the staff are really helpful and friendly. You would’ve thought they’d get bored of all the ‘I don’t know what it could be’ but they seem more than happy to join you in guessing. Only downside is this place closes at lunchtime. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but most working people would want to go in the evening no?
