lol

thank you :)

Does anyone know if the shop part of the post office is open today?

there hasn't been a co-op chemist for years, it's Sogim. Co-op chemist used to be good much better than Sogim

I know it just opened but personally I don't think the new M&S is half as good as the one near North Cross Rd. I didn't like the layout, could be due to a 'funny shaped' space, not sure. The self serve tills are very small & squashy & weren't working very well ,they seemed to have more variety of some items like eg soup but no trace of other things at all that the other store has.

Our electricity went off just after 4 including street light wondered if anyone else has got problems too?

the water has gone again this morning - we managed to get 1 flush from the loo last night, since Friday. No water coming into the cistern this morning. I rang Thames water, they said they are aware there are still problems in SE22 & working on it & bottled water available across the rye on Strakers, but bottled water is not going to help us flush the loo:(

our loo isn't filling up with water so can't flush :(

Our 2 seater sofa bed was extremely heavy & had to be lifted out of the living room via the window. I couldn't do this & the council don't do this, that is why I had to get someone else :O)

Just to add the council will only collect your sofa unless you yourself first leave it outside your property ie they will not come in to your living room & carry it out.

I have a drain cover in my front garden & when I walked over it this evening to get to the wheelie bin I found it was loose & rocking? which is very odd as it's always been welded down securely before, you'd have a job budging it & I'm wondering if it's been tampered with - if someone's been in my garden & lifted it for some strange reason & not locked it back? Not sure what I should do or who to contact? Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I have logged 3rd complaint today with royal mail customer support. This is the 3rd complaint for the same parcel delivery since the 8th October & it's the first time ever that I have had to log a complaint with royal mail. It is obvious that since the closure of Silvester Rd Sorting office the service has gone to pot. 1. missed a delivery got a missed delivery card, went online & booked a delivery for next day to my work address round the corner. 2 next day parcel never arrived at my work address but when I got home I found another missed delivery card & not only that I had another resident's details on my card & a barcode for their parcel stuck on under my reference number!! on my card!! - delivery instruction was ignored so 1st complaint logged & delivery rebooked by customer services again to my work address 3 next day my parcel did not arrive at my place of work - however the other person's parcel did!! - 2nd complaint logged. Customer services again arrange for my parcel to be delivered to my work 4 well today parcel still did not arrive so rang customer services yet again - 3rd complaint logged. They tried to ring the manager at Highshore Rd but office was closed at 3pm, they said they have left a voicemail. They also gave me their phone number so I could try ringing them myself at 8am in the morning:( The earliest I can go in person to the sorting office is Wednesday. The parcel was a birthday present for someone on 8th October:(

I have just been quoted ?60 to take a 2 seater sofa, not sure if that's a good price?

Can anyone recommend a good company that doesn't have hidden costs. I'm looking for someone to come & remove a sofa bed, same day if possible. The council will only collect things that are left outside as far as I know. Thanks

Hello Admin, the forum website is showing as unsafe, it says it's not encrypted? Its been like that for a few days now.Please can you fix it? Thank you

Does that mean we can't pay in money at LL branch?

Totally agree, there's got to be an extra storage space somewhere locally surely?
