Did you mean 29 November?

I have come home today to a pile of post after none all week. They had all been posted on different dates. One was an important letter requiring time critical action by me which was posted first class eight days ago.

Mine was/is so bad they are doing it without monitoring. They took soil samples to about three (possibly more, I can't remember) metres down and sent them off for analysis. I'm very glad I was insured. Depending on how far the bay returns to its previous position after GeoBear have done their stuff, the whole thing may have to be rebuilt. Then it will all need redecorating inside and outside. ETA: Also, do not assume you are on clay. GeoBear initially assumed my bay was on clay and that the subsidence was due to roots from a nearby street tree. After they had drilled down and analysed the soil, they found it was on made up soil and something else, shale I think (I don't have their report to hand) and they didn't find clay till several metres down. If the cause of the subsidence isn't properly identified and addressed, you may well have further problems. It's not necessarily a case of just repairing cracks.

Can your solicitor not send a copy on guaranteed tracked and signed for next day delivery? I don't know what they call it now. Royal Mail Special Delivery I think. Surely Royal Mail can't f*** that up? ETA: I'm wondering why s/he didn't do that in the first place given its importance and the fact it is time critical? You can get Saturday delivery for an additional charge (supposedly).

And also that complaints to Royal Mail customer services, with the response that this will be "forwarded to the delivery office manager to be resolved within 48 hours" or words to that effect, are completely ineffective, since the relevant manager seems unwilling or unable to act on them. In my case this was a requested redelivery of a tracked item which never arrived on the requested day, inaccurate/incomplete information on the tracking page, and being told by customer services that it would be re-redelivered on the following Monday (which it wasn't).

You can set it to avoid routes where the congestion charge would kick in. On the other hand, a familiar route may be less stressful even if the way Google maps took you might be quicker depending on traffic conditions at the time you were travelling.

To set her mind absolutely at rest, she could change her current email password anyway?

What would be the point of posting it on here? Have I missed something?

Hooray!

To be fair, the East Dulwich delivery office was no longer fit for purpose as it could not handle the amount of parcels and packets with the increase in online ordering. However Royal Mail do not appear to have looked at any other options than moving all the work to Peckham.

Brilliant, thanks. Had a great night at The Capitol once after we only called in for a pint on the way home. Friendly regulars!

Phone your GP for advice? Or you could try phoning 111 to see if they know of any clinics? Alternatively, King's A&E? They have a children's section. In the medium term, sounds like it was premature to reduce the preventer inhaler so you could go back to the previous dose/frequency until you can see your GP again?

No way would I eat anything like this unless I was absolutely, 100% sure, it was not poisonous. And that article that Tomskip linked to above has just strengthened my resolve!

civilservant Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > hopeful that the antibiotics and advice help - > fingers crossed! Thanks, I had been feeling rubbish with bad headaches etc since early June (the tick bite was in May) and having hypochondriac tendencies and done a lot of googling had convinced myself it was Lyme disease, so I am quite relieved it is being treated even if it isn't there, if that makes sense!

The Fox has left the Forum. However apparently he lives by different laws to the rest of us :)) :)) :)) Perhaps he uses the word "pedantry" to mean something other than its normal meaning as well. His use of "of" instead of "have" has driven me mad (der) for some considerable time.

I thought I'd posted a response yesterday, but it must have got lost in the ether! I saw a really helpful and knowledgeable consultant at St. George's. She thinks it is highly unlikely that I have Lyme disease, but just to be absolutely sure (and to set my mind at rest for the future) she has prescribed three weeks on a high dose of Doxycycline, which is the antibiotic of choice for Lyme disease and will thoroughly zap any bacteria should they be there. She agrees with King's that the vertigo is probably due to vestibular neuritis, and almost certainly due to a virus and nothing to do with Lyme. It wasn't her specialism, but her husband had it so she had personal experience, which was useful for me! She said it is very debilitating, which is why I am feeling so ill and exhausted, and gave me a lot of good advice about handling it - including making myself do things instead of sitting around at home. I had stopped taking the tablets I was prescribed because they were making me feel worse, and she has recommended something else to help my system gradually get back to normal, which may take some time. She also gave me quite a bit of advice which was unexpected for a medical doctor, including things to get from a "health food" shop, and taking up "mindfulness"! I was out last night and today I am feeling quite a bit better and brighter - psychological, probably! Long may it continue! Thanks everybody for your advice and sympathy, and I hope anybody else out there who is ill will have a speedy recovery!

I may be wrong though Must admit I thought the same, but did not want to antagonise DF yet further .....

The October/November issue of The Peckham Peculiar has a piece headed "Royal Fail" which ends with a statement from "A Royal Mail spokeswoman" which includes "She added that customers can use the free redelivery service, which means their item can be redelivered to their address or another in the same postcode area - including on Saturdays - by calling the number on their delivery card." Yeh, right. Redelivered at a time of Royal Mail's choosing, not redelivered at the time requested of, and specified by, the customer.
