I DON’T suppose for one minute that the raiders who blew up a post office cash machine thought about the shop’s owner.

Yet the proprietor of the post-office in Lea Gate, Harwood which was so badly damaged has had his livelihood shattered at the same time as his premises.

He’s plainly popular with customers, knows many by name, and has been there for years.

The only “crime” he ever committed was giving a good service to the local community and its people – all blasted to bits by selfish, predatory yobs. Hopefully, he will soon be able to trade successfully again.
