Commenting on the news that John and Mary Dickson, the Subpostmaster and his wife who ran Poppies & Bishopbriggs Post Office, have retired Jo said:
“It’s the end of an era – John & Mary were an institution in the local area, especially after they stepped in to save Bishopbriggs Post Office when it was threatened with closure 8 years ago.
“We’ve been very lucky to have them for so long and I’m sure I speak on behalf of the whole community when I thank them for the essential service they provided for so many years.
“I would like to wish them all the best for what I hope will be a very happy and no doubt very active retirement.”
