Just to say, one of the reasons there are so many recommendations on here for Nico is that (at least in my experience) he asks people to put them on here, and I suspect that they then feel they have to. Call me cynical, but I'd rather use a busy and efficient plumber who doesn't need to do that (yes I have one).

Sorry misread the post!

I'm still waiting for something which was posted on 26 October :(

Mr Bao is indeed delicious, but extremely small and very difficult to get a table, in our experience. ETA: Another vote for Franklins here!

Southwark Park fireworks were very good! Easy to get to (South Bermondsey station is three stops on from East Dulwich, and a short walk from there).

Oooops sorry posted twice by mistake

7pm,2 minutes after you posted. Sorry!

However the fireworks at Southwark Park are still free to Southwark residents (I'm going tonight) but you still have to get a ticket in advance, presumably so that they can limit the numbers as well.

You all need to report this to Royal Mail (if you haven't already done) .....

See the other thread. This has happened to several people in Forest Hill, and a postal worker there has apparently been sacked.

I think Monica in Health Matters on Lordship Lane used to have a key to these boards, don't know if she still does but if not she may know who has.

What do you suppose the councillors can do about it?!

Thanks for these updates. Pressure low in Ulverscroft Road too at the moment.

They are on Facebook, but the only address there is their store in Queens Park.

It occurs to me that if anybody is going to email their complaints to Craig P Wallace, they could copy the email to Royal Mail's CEO (address above somewhere) and Helen Hayes. Just a thought ...... I am mentally compiling my list of complaints as I type :))

I would phone the scan place up (after a reasonable time) if I were you, just to be on the safe side. A letter from a hospital recently took well over a week to get to me - my GP (in Herne Hill, so not the same delivery office) had received a copy long before I did. Luckily it wasn't related to a forthcoming appointment but the report on one which I'd already had.

Thanks Kiera. That is ridiculous. There was no indication at all before the decision to close the office was taken that the problem was only at Christmas, otherwise obviously other options could have been suggested. Sledgehammers and nuts spring to mind. How is he suggesting that our post will be "back to normal in a couple of weeks"? Did he say what measures they are putting in place to do that, and what does he consider "normal", I wonder? As regards SE21, that is horrifying. I hope the person responsible for the thefts has not just been sacked, but that the police are involved? Royal Mail used to have their own Investigation Department, and it investigated things like several thefts from the same office (I am gobsmacked that this wasn't identified. Surely the information must have been relayed to the manager - however it seems that he wasn't exactly doing his job either). Offices used to have watching galleries for the use of investigation staff in following up suspicions (though obviously the thefts may not have occurred actually in the office). I am cynically supposing that following privatisation the Investigation Department has been disbanded to "save money"? If not, it does not seem to be doing its job properly. ETA: Sorry, Burbage's post intervened whilst I was typing this!

Use them as bin bags or to store stuff in my chest freezer. Reuse them as bags. Though I usually use more permanent bags. ETA: I'm pretty sure you can't put them in the normal recycling. Some supermarkets used to collect them to recycle - I think Sainsbury's did - but I don't know if they still do.

So can anybody report back from the meeting?
