A few stories people tell about this place

1. A delivery driver was making his rounds one morning when he noticed something peculiar. As he approached Borough Green Post Office, an old man emerged from behind the mailboxes, muttering under his breath and waving a strange device. Curious, the driver slowed down and asked what he was doing. The old man, still mumbling, held up a small remote control and said it was for ‘those pesky drones’ delivering packages. Turned out, he’d been playing with his new toy while waiting for his pension cheque. Everyone had a good laugh, including the befuddled neighbor who thought the whole thing was a prank.

2. One day, an elderly gentleman walked into Borough Green Post Office and asked the clerk with a twinkle in his eye: ‘Can you please hold my package until Christmas? It’s addressed to Santa Claus.’ The clerk smiled warmly and replied, 'Of course we can do that for you!' The old man nodded contentedly, picked up his other mail, and left. Months later, just before Christmas, a delivery driver arrived carrying a large box marked simply 'Santa Claus'. He handed it to the same clerk, who laughed and said, 'I think we've been waiting for you!'

3. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Borough Green Post Office. Something strange caught his ear—a rhythmic tapping that seemed to come from within. Curious, he opened the door just a crack—and peered inside to see an old typewriter pounding away furiously on its own. Turned out, it was just a neighborhood historian working late on his latest book about local history. The delivery driver left with a smile, thinking, ‘At least no one’s delivering letters by hand here anymore.’

4. In the early hours of the morning, a delivery driver pulled up outside Borough Green Post Office and wondered aloud: ‘Who leaves packages for penguins?’ As he peered inside, a familiar voice called from behind the counter: 'And who might be delivering packages for our feathered friends?' A regular customer, smiling broadly, waved cheerfully. The delivery driver scratched his head, realizing he'd been duped by an old neighborhood prank. 'Guess I'll just take these back,' he muttered, shaking his head with good humor.
