Can the centre hold?

I dread every time I HAVE to go to the post office.

It's not just the slow queues that frighten me but the fact that you meet strange characters. Well this morning I had to go to the local post office something to do with an urgent application I had to submit today. That is when you realise the importance online application system - unfortunately some applications require copies of this and that so it has to be through the post.

So we are all following the queue and in comes this woman dressed in a combat military type uniform with a guy accompanying her. And she walks straight to the window - clearly she's on drugs. All this time screaming that she is ill she needs to collect her 'benefits' and rush for an injection (?). Some of us on the queue refuse to hear none of that - the cashier is confused and tells her to join the queue. In the ensuing shouting and cursing the woman offers to prove she's ill - she opens the front of her top displaying her wares turns around to face everyone on the queue. The poor cashier does not know how to handle the situation and quickly serves her - gives her the money (most likely to go and get high even more).

Right then I realised why going to the post office is a nightmare - you get all this people on benefits and most likely on drugs (of course not all of them) being a nuisance. I wonder how long the government can afford to provide for the society - there is rampant abuse of the system. In theory it is a good way of taking care of the less fortunate amongst us - but this is bad.

Did I mention I think I just saw the Tory London Mayor candidate I assume he was campaigning I think I should ask him of his views on the welfare system - Do you think he would be interested
