"The people running our stores, were arrested, goes to jail, lose their savings, with massive psychological problems. It felt as if to do The Right thing, no longer mattered, it was all about saving The Image of The Post ".
He said: "A member of staff asked a manager why they thought it was such a high volume. The manager laughed and said: "because half of The Post offices of ex-police officers, the early retirement or the former pub landlord, so you are likely to be used to fiddling The Books ".
