Well, this morning the postie delivered a package to me which was sent well after the two missing ones. So I said I was still waiting for two items which I needed this week. He said he would "look in his van". Surprise surprise, some time later he appeared at the door with the two missing items (sopping wet but luckily dry inside). Now. All I can assume is that they are carting round a backlog, but delivering the most recent items first and not attempting to put items for the same address together. I am grateful to have got them in time to give them to the recipients, but I do wonder when they would have eventually appeared if I had not asked where they were ..... I'm not blaming the postie, who was helpful. It's an ongoing system failure, it seems. ETA: I have had three deliveries this morning, after a week of virtually zilch.

Thanks, got to where I needed to go!

Are buses running up Lordship Lane today? Is the P13 on its usual route again now?

You may have done it for years, but I (and others) have noticed that it appears to have been done a lot more frequently of late! But the thing is, it seems a bit random which headings are edited to make them more relevant and which aren't. As your terms were last updated in May of this year, I have no idea how long they may have included the part about editing the title! Anyway, glad if it helps people, of course. It never crossed my mind it would affect who read the post!

I ordered three items online on 21 November which I need for next week. They are all gifts. All were sent around the same time. The one via a courier arrived a couple of days after it was despatched (might have been the day after, can't remember). The two via Royal Mail have still not arrived. One was despatched on 22 and one on 23 November. I have had virtually no post this week at all. How on earth are they going to cope at Christmas? I thought that was the supposed reason the office was moved from Silvester Road?

Wendy Steatham. [email protected] 07985 575301 ETA: These details are already in the public domain, or I would not have posted them on here.

I suggest you contact Wendy. She teaches Lindy Hop at The Ivy House on Saturday mornings (though I don't know if she is at the moment) but I don't know if she also teaches elsewhere. ETA: Details below. I've put them in a separate post to bring the thread to the top, in case you don't see the edit of this one.

I didn't actually mean people who are genuinely hungry, though no doubt some shoplifting is done from desperation. I meant chancers who see an opportunity to get something for free either because they know nobody will bother to challenge them or because they know the police will not prosecute.

If admin is going to persist in changing people's post headings, they might at least make their changes grammatical and comprehensible ....

So yet again admin is editing the headings of forum members' posts. Where will this end?!

But people are not stealing things like bread. According to the above they are taking things like steak. That is greed, not need. I doubt most of it has anything to do with food banks. It seems to be opportunist theft, as took place during the riots. ETA: Opportunist in the sense that they can see they can steal without being caught.

To the best of my knowledge nobody in this area has had any issues with outgoing post?

Yet again, for about the zillionth time, we have Thames Water apparently digging up Ulverscroft Road. At 10.30 on Saturday night. Anybody know what's going on, and why they didn't sort the problem the many times they have dug up the same bit of road before? :( ETA: Just been to ask them. "It's a hundred year old main." Yes so why don't you replace it or do a repair which lasts more than a few weeks? Wouldn't that be more cost effective than keep having to send out people every few weeks? "Yes I agree with you etc etc etc and you should have your water back by the morning". I just hope the poor expletive deleted who keeps getting his cellar flooded, a few doors down from me, is going to claim enormous amounts of compensation. Are Thames Water privatised? Disgraceful.

Credit where it's due. I had a dreaded red card on Thursday and ordered a redelivery for today. It arrived around 9.30 am! Amazing!!

Sorry duplicate post

Councils have had their money drastically cut. I guess they have to decide where their priorities lie, unfortunately. ETA: Hope your mother is OK, falling over is always a shock even if you are not physically very hurt :(

Thank you for posting this. I just saw it on Facebook this evening. What a great idea.
