🤣 Ah yes, the mean streets of East Dulwich! Not exactly Jimmy McNulty’s Baltimore is it though?! More like a nice peaceful liveable part of one of the world’s largest cities with the usual smattering of crime.

Today we received a birthday card sent (from London) next day guaranteed special delivery by 1pm. Sent on 22 February 2023! Excluding the many things that have just never arrived, that’s our record for delay, I think!

Yesterday, Sunday 16th January, my teenage daughter was with her young sister and her friend in Tesco Express in East Dulwich Road near Peckham Rye Common. For some reason her card did not work at the till and she became very embarrassed and distressed (by all accounts, a bit distraught) as she has anxiety issues. An incredibly kind woman (a customer) stepped in and paid for her shopping (and I'm not talking about just a pound or two). She did not leave a name or contact details - just paid. What an incredibly kind thing to do! We want to make contact with her, if possible, and I was wondering whether anyone on this forum is either that person, or knows who this was and if so whether they would be kind enough to message me? This sort of kindness restores/reinforces your faith in humankind and we are all very touched by it. If this was you - thank you very much indeed and please do get in touch. If you read this and would rather not get in touch, then that's fine, but in that case you can know that your kindness was very much appreciated and made a very big difference!

Still waiting for ‘signed for’ (recorded) delivery letter posted on 16 October. Can’t even track recorded delivery - the website says that only becomes possible after they have tried to deliver it! Postie told me there are huge piles of unsorted recorded delivery packages//letters at the Peckham sorting office and just now they are not even attempting to deliver recorded - only tracked/special delivery items. They should publicise this so people know not to use that service for anything they need to receive as a matter of some importance.

Agreed - I suspect that would probably be the (mostly silent) majority's view too. If I possessed the skills of Chuck Norris that would certainly be my plan A. Sadly I don't, so giving 3 of them a slap is probably out of the question. The fact that there are 3 of them makes their behaviour all the more intimidating though - which they no doubt know.

If these people are identified, personally, I will consider laying an information for a private prosecution - in the event the Police decided not to do anything. They need to learn that this sort of intimidation is not acceptable.

Nah, but Cella/Marcella hasn't been heard from on here for a while. Maybe she's already applied and started working for Dominic.

Sorry, I'm not following, I know this post was directed at someone else, but whose gender are you are referring to as being assumed, Marcella?

Not sure how you can be so sure there isn't a private GP anywhere in the area then! There's this private medical centre in Herne Hill... Health Hub, 282 Milkwood Road, Herne Hill, London, SE24 0EZ

There's a time to stop digging, Cella! I must admit to feeling your pain though. That said, you did repeatedly set yourself up for a fall come the 12th of December (with some pretty daft comments about how incredibly popular Steptoe is, etc.) and since then have demonstrated a surprising detachment from reality and/or level of denial in keeping with the rest of the far left of the LP. That state of denial/refusal to accept responsibility for the extreme left's election drubbing is, however, the gift that keeps on giving.

Fair point. A paper trail to show the Judge is important.

Ha Ha! Yes! In their own minds, or their echo chamber, at least.
