I am getting a total mixture of mail. One second class item posted only a few days ago. One posted end of November (hospital letter, luckily feedback after the appointment and not notification of the date). Those two arrived at the same time 🙄 Still waiting for several items including financial post, books despatched weeks ago, and things intended for Christmas presents 😡 And of course no idea of what I should have got which I don't know has been sent, grammar.

Porridge. Vegetables.

How are you now, Foxy? A lot better, I hope?

I don't understand the OP. There's a clear speed limit. And clear penalties for speeding. And an obvious camera at that spot. Which is near a school, if memory serves. Unlucky to be caught maybe, but twice? I can't understand how a lawyer could help?

Sorry to hear this. Hope you get it back if wheover took it sees your post 😢

A good opportunity to talk to your children about what the pigeons are doing, I would have thought?

Click on their name and you can see the general tone of their posts.

According to reports in the press, numerous people had raised concerns about the lack of lighting and CCTV in that alleyway 😡 No doubt now that will be rectified. Stable doors, etc 😡

Excellent idea!

Ronnie Spector. R.I.P.

I haven't received a Private Eye for months. I took out a new subscription and received precisely one copy. I never received the free Christmas cards, either 🙄

Thanks cidolphus, that's really interesting and makes complete sense.

Did anybody actually read through that petition, or even check it for spelling and punctuation errors, before putting it online? I'm not sure that "demanding" things is likely to make those with the power to change things very sympathetic to the cause 🙄 Even the name of the road the ED delivery office was in is spelled wrongly, or else a typo. Hardly gives a good impression. Sorry to be so negative.

I guess it would depend on where they re-routed all the buses to. I think it's too late to reinvigorate Oxford Street. It is all becoming like the Tottenham Court Road end always was - full of tourist shops selling cheap rubbish, and huge bizarre candy shops. And chains which just sell the same (boring) stuff you can get in their branches elsewhere. I hope I'm wrong, but like I suspect many people I now do almost all my shopping online (the downside of that obviously being the items sent via Royal Mail which never arrive .....). If there were more quirky independent shops, like in some other nearby areas, and more appealing places to eat, that might help, but I guess they couldn't afford the rents.

Mine is an old fashioned wind-up one. There's no way it could ring spontaneously, unless I've got a poltergeist (I haven't 🤣)

The story around the original Palmerston changing hands had nothing to do with rents. It's a sorry saga. There's a thread on here somewhere.

When I googled, the whole of Southwark is classed as an Inner London borough, but maybe Royal Mail define Inner London differently.
