That is one of the saddest (In the original meaning of sad) places I have ever been. But I agree worth a visit.

I haven't even had a reply from the CEO's office 🙄

The Ivy House no longer hires spaces out for private events. People used to turn up and never know if they would be able to get a table, and it put them off coming back. The pub has a great range of events all through the week, one off and regular, and some nights are "pub only", but all open to all and clearly publicised. I have to declare an interest as I am a community shareholder and also run events there 🙂 https://www.ivyhousenunhead.com/events The Lordship and The Palmerston both have upstairs rooms for hire, as does The Castle.

😂😂😂

I emailed the CEO's office yesterday, and copied in Helen Hayes. I have had an automatic response from Helen, but not from Royal Mail. However today I suddenly got a small pile of post, though it seems to be recent items, not the items which appear to be stuck in the system somewhere. I directed the CEO's office to this thread (apart from giving examples of my own delayed and missing items) and asked what Royal Mail intended to do about the appalling delivery service in SE22. I made clear that the problems started when the delivery office at Silvester Road closed, with SE22 deliveries (or lack of them) now based in SE15, and therefore could not be blamed on either Covid or industrial action. I await their reply with interest.

It is the bangs which scare animals (and small children). In my view fireworks should be restricted to those without bangs, as I believe is the case in some other countries. Or if not, restricted to public displays only, and only on a few days per year (eg NYE, Diwali, 5 November) so people can at least keep domesticated animals inside if possible. There is also the safety issue eg rockets still alight falling on people, and kids chucking fireworks about.

Somewhere in the thread above there is an email address for the CEO of Royal Mail. And it's the Peckham office, and has been since the ED delivery office in Silvester Road was closed down, which was when all the problems started. As predicted.

Again???

i think it's great nice and bright and somewhere to sit or would you send it to landfill ?? as for road closures what about all the roads in E Dulwich Grove ?? It may be nice and bright and somewhere to sit, but that doesn't make it appropriate for putting in that particular place.

OMG 😮

After getting virtually no post for what seems like a very long time, apart from a few tracked items, I received today a load of stuff including a letter about an urgent appointment at King's on 13 October. That apppointment has been and gone 11 days ago. Luckily my GP had given me a phone number to call to make the appointment, but what if she hadn't? And the letter included important information which I hadn't been given on the phone. My postal haul also included a Private Eye from 7 October, now well out of date. History. I'm gearing up to complain, but I don't know why I'm bothering, as if Helen Hayes after all her efforts hasn't succeeding in changing anything, I'm sure I'm not going to. Yet another example of a privatised organisation failing its customers. I'm on Ulverscroft Road.

Damn, I would have loved to come to this, but I've got something else on. Is it likely to be shown elsewhere, or put online?

Thanks both.

Thanks!

Is there a list anywhere of SE22 food banks, with their opening hours? I have tried googling and also did a search on here, but couldn't find any info. I know there have been posts on here. I have a load of stuff to take but don't want to find somewhere closed, as it's heavy.

As I understand it, the problem was that the amount of rain which came after the drought was nowhere near sufficient to restore water stocks in the reservoirs, and that was why the hosepipe ban was not lifted. I don't know what the situation is now. Congratulations on your first EDF post!

The reasons why not are the same as the reasons why he was kicked out before. However, devil and the deep blue sea. I've just spent eight minutes of my life watching that press conference. It was excruciating 😮

What happened?

And copy your email to Helen Hayes. That will make them bend even further backwards to sort things out!

There's a Poundland in Chiswick and Putney High streets, both of which are upmarket areas with high street rents I'd assume to be higher than LL. So clearly its working for them. I don't know about Chiswick, but Putney High Street is full of charity shops and seems to be going in the opposite direction to gentrification.

I was replying to Iainr above, but I seem to have done it wrong. Hopefully it's clear that my reply is at the end of his post!

I don't log out, so it's not that. Would deleting all cookies not also delete the fact that you are logged in? I never once had this problem with the old forum, and now it just keeps happening.

Oh, lucky you, miss loaded. What other shops do you walk around and just freely buy whatever takes your fancy, even though you don't need it, because its just so cheap? Should we keep you away from Moxons too? Changed your forum name again, have you?
