Excuse me, can you tell me where the nearest Post Office is? I'm sorry, I can't. I'm a stranger here myself. Perhaps thet gentleman over there will be able to help you. Thank you. ... I'm sorry to trouble you, but can you direct me to the nearest Post Office? Yes, it's in the High Street. As a matter of fact, I'm going in the same direction myself, so if you come with me, I'll show you. That's very kind of you. There it is, that building over there. Thanks very much. Don't mention it. ... I want to send a telegram. Where can I get a form? You'll find some over there. ... Will you put your name and address on the back? That will be 3/6. Do you mind telling me where I can get stamps and a registered envelope? At the next counter. A five-shilling book of stamps, please and a large registered envelope. Will this size do? Yes, thank you, that's just right. ... Would you mind telling me what the postage on this letter will be? Threepence by ordinary post, or sixpence, if you want to register it. |
