Won't miss: The Post Office.

I remember my first experience at our local branch. All I wanted to do was mail a card, but I needed a stamp. After waiting in a loooooong line (of people doing non-post related things such as paying their TV bill), the following conversation ensued:

Me: Hiya (British greeting), I just need to post this and I have to buy a stamp.
Them: Right, that will be 34 Pence.
Me: Great. (Pays the fee)
Them: Here you are. (Hands stamped envelope back to me)
Me: Can you post it?
Them: No, we don't do that here
Me: ?!?!?!?!? (this is a POST OFFICE right?)
Them: There's a letter box outside the pub, you can post it there.
