ELDERLY people faced an unexpected delay in collecting their pensions in Darlington yesterday.
Lengthy queues formed early in the morning at the Crown Street post office, in the town centre, after computer problems caused delays.
A spokeswoman said: "We did have a bit of a problem for about ten or 15 minutes.
"Apologies to anybody who was inconvenienced, but it was resolved quite quickly."
