SIR - Who on Earth made the decision to withdraw the sale of TV licences from the Post Office? With the scrapping of pension and allowance order books many sub-post offices are struggling.

What next? Do away with postal orders on the assumption that we all have a cheque book?

In many areas the Post Office provides a vital service and these actions can be likened to starving a faithful old workhorse to death.
