For Graham Livesey, who ran a post office in a Cumbrian village, watching Mr Bates vs The Post Office brought back painful memories
Graham Livesey had been proud to run Staveley’s post office. His shop, The Beehive, is an important part of life in the Cumbrian village and he believes around 300 villagers have been paperboys and girls for him.
But he is shutting down the post office section of his shop in disgust at the actions of its leadership and investigators during the Horizon IT scandal, and the toll it took on him.
