CUSTOMERS at a Worcester post office will be getting a taste of the tropical when they encounter staff donning hula skirts and brightly coloured shirts.

Ombersley Road Post Office is going all Hawaiian this week, with a promotion designed to help get customers prepared for their holidays at both home and abroad.

Staff will be on hand to help answer any customer queries regarding travel services available through the branch.

To help customers get into the holiday spirit, they will have the opportunity to enter competitions with a range of travel-related prizes up for grabs.

"We want to help customers avoid some of the pitfalls of preparing to go on holiday by providing them with the most up to date information possible," said Donna Evans, sub-postmistress of the branch.
