Well, I was fully expecting my SIM card to go AWOL, but to my great surprise it arrived today having been posted first class yesterday. So, credit where it's due, Royal Mail managed to deliver one item on time to the correct address :)

I don't think there is anything on the box outside the Lordship Lane post office. There was once a notice saying when the last collections were on weekdays and Saturdays, and now there isn't.

There are previous threads on here about Saucy if you do a search. Saucy is a new restaurant on Lordship Lane, on the corner where Curry Cabin used to be, which has not yet opened. I would have thought the contents of this thread were fairly self-explanatory, though.

Admin, are you able to change the title yourself if the OP doesn't or won't? And move it to a more appropriate section of the forum?

"A wall of unqualified people who can't help"? Would you care to expand on that, please? Also, I have recently unfortunately had to go to A&E four times, and after triage they prioritise patients according to need. If you have to wait a long time it is because there are more urgent cases. If you don't like the long waiting times, blame the government for underfunding the NHS. ETA: I have also had to call 111 several times recently, and I absolutely can't fault the service. ETA: I think you should change the totally misleading subject of this thread. ETA: And if somebody is making money out of running a surgery, then I suggest you blame the system which allows them to do that. You cannot blame somebody for taking advantage of it, surely. I blame the Tories, but then I would.

I can't begin to imagine how you must have felt. ETA: I wonder if they have changed their systems, as I have an urgent hospital appointment next week and have had two separate phone calls reminding me about it, one automated and from an actual person. I now wonder whether this is in case people haven't received a letter from the hospital and whether this is now a common occurrence.

It's got to the point where I just expect things not to arrive.

In the last few weeks I have received several items of mail for addresses with the same house number as mine but completely different roads (including two cafes, named as part of the address. Surely it should be obvious to anybody that my house is not a cafe). I have also got mail for other house numbers in my own road, one of which was a bank statement which I opened by mistake (I resisted the temptation to look at it :))) Yesterday I got a catalogue for somebody with the same house number but different roads. When the post came today, I gave it to the postie. His response "I wasn't working yesterday." Then I looked at today's post. It included a letter clearly marked for the house next door. So I called him back and gave that back to him as well. His response "Well it's only for next door" (meaning, you could have put that through their letter box yourself, couldn't you?) Er, yes I could, but I'm bloody sick of delivering other people's post. Where do they get these people from? What really worries me is where my own mail is going. Apart from things I know have definitely gone missing, It's the things I don't know about :(

I'm sorry you are so ill, but so are others of us. Illness didn't seem to stop you posting misinformation on here about a local business, and it doesn't preclude admitting you were wrong.

On past form, he will be quiet for a bit then carry on as if nothing has happened. When presented with actual facts he doesn't generally respond, let alone apologise. It's a bit like Donald Trump but more boring.

Whoever did this it is awful, but what makes you think the woman was not the child's mother?

Yes
