My mistake - Wandsworth schools are on the list and opening delayed .

Yep - Lewisham ,Lambeth and guess what ? Greenwich all opening as usual . IMO ,not quite "the overwhelming majority of primary schools will open as planned on Monday" as Gav stated .. Annex A: List of local authorities where this guidance applies: Barking and Dagenham Barnet Bexley Brent Bromley Croydon Ealing Enfield Hammersmith and Fulham Havering Hillingdon Hounslow Kensington and Chelsea Merton Newham Richmond-Upon-Thames Southwark Sutton Tower Hamlets Waltham Forest Wandsworth Westminster Brentwood Epping Forest Castle Point Basildon Rochford Harlow Chelmsford Braintree Maldon Southend on Sea Thurrock Dartford Gravesham Sevenoaks Medway Ashford Maidstone Tonbridge and Malling Tunbridge Wells Swale Hastings Rother Milton Keynes Watford Broxbourne Hertsmere Three Rivers

Anyone know what stock levels are like ? And sprouts ?

https://www.royalgreenwich.gov.uk/news/article/1753/statement_on_school_closures interesting ,wonder if others will follow . Isn't this what happened - councils taking matters into their own hands - prior to first lockdown and school closures ?

I like Lidl's outdoor bred range ( 90% meat ) and am about to try Jolly Hog ( Sainsbury) proper porkers as highly recommended by friend.

I spoke too soon !! It's arrived - notification of hearing appointment on 21 Sept ,two letters posted on 9th September . Whoop ,whoop !

They've not worked for me .No backlog of missing items posted weeks ago suddenly being delivered .

That's interesting Lowlander .I wonder how it works - "here lads Mr Lowlander of 123 East Dulwich Residence has complained. All hands on deck to extract his post ." Makes no sense .Lots of individual complaints result in the complainer getting their backlog . And ( no criticism of you Lowlander ) while Peckham sorting office looking for the complainers post ,are they diverted from normal work ?

I don't understand what is causing the problem .It would help me to know ,even though that knowledge probably wouldn't solve the issue of late/no delivery .

Could the difficulties be something to do with posties travelling from further away ie Peckham to get to their delivery area ie East Dulwich ? How do they travel ? Is the extra time it must take allowed for ?

I'm sure Mrs Bob will handle any wayward visitors .

another annie - that's awful ,I'm sorry . Make sure that the clinic/hospital has a phone number for you .Which hopefully they'll use .

Sue or anyone else - I agree but then I think why did it cause such a big problem ? Were lots of staff redeployed /got rid of ? Is there lack of space and /or organisational skills in the Peckham office ?

but Bob you seem not to have fully utilised your air rights .....

It's bad . I have an irate 80 year old acquaintance endlessly phoning me to ask if his letter has arrived . What exactly has caused the problem ? What can we do ??

Are you accompanied by Mrs Bob? How is she ?

I'd quite like it if the pavements could be reserved for pedestrians and if runners/joggers would not use them as part of their fitness routine . But I'm getting old and prefer to amble along peacefully .

I spoke to a postwoman on Barry Road today .She was delivering parcels . She said, with great embarrassment ,that there should be a mail delivery in the road tomorrow ,Tuesday .She said "I know it's awful ".

I'm not expecting them to do anything other than what they're doing . It was a throw away remark about fairness . The heat has fused my brain .Feel free to ignore me!

Life's not fair though is it ? It's competitive and capitalistic. I'm sure some of the outlets in Rye Lane could do with a hand . Hard to weigh up needs but I bet Dulwich Square haven't assessed individual retailers and targeted those most in need .

Dear lord ,could these people not find better things to do with their time and energy .You know ,something that might contribute to the good of the less privileged .

Well done Benjcooper ,you're a hero .Did he sleep ?

I thought Southwark were descoping this proposal .Is it now rescoped ?
