Pensioner Goes Postal Over Late Benefits

A pensioner tried to set a post office on fire in the small town of Mágocs, Baranya County, last Wednesday, apparently because he had not been receiving his pension on time. Local police said the elderly man first threatened post office clerks, and when this had no result, left and returned with a club, a bottle of gasoline and a box of matches. One of the clerks jumped the old goat and took the gasoline and club from him. [origo.hu]
