Poor OP! All they're trying to do get the mail back to them. I know it's not strickly 'legal' but she's trying to do them a favour.

I am also 'guilty' of opening mail not addressed to me. In my case, the letter was offering a student a place on a course. I visited all my neighbours in the nearest vicinity and asked them if they were the person it was addressed to with no luck. I then sent the letter back to the university letting them know that the address was wrong. I hope I didn't do the wrong thing but I felt that ignoring it would have been worse.

Somebody opened a card and letter I had sent (not addressed to them), and phoned me to tell me a friend had died.


The person who opened the card was the new owner of my friend's house.


Although obviously I was sad to get the news, I was grateful to the person for opening the card and then taking the trouble to phone me.

Postal Services Act 2000, section 84(3) - "A person commits an offence if, intending to act to a person?s detriment and without reasonable excuse, he opens a postal packet which he knows or reasonably suspects has been incorrectly delivered to him."


Whereas the people here who've opened mail sent to an unknown person at their address seem to have had no intention to act to the addressee's detriment, and to have had a very reasonable excuse.

      Handyman Review

      By mgk · Posted

      A belated recommendation for Iain and Paul od Oddbods who came to help me with various jobs before Christmas.  Painting ceiling, renewing silicone around bath, repairing a window sill which was almost beyond repair and hanging a large mirror.   Very happy with their work and they are friendly and very reliable and excellent at communicating.  No hesitation in recommending them.

      Plumber recommendation - Niko the Plumber

      By ssn · Posted

      I just wanted to post for all my neighbours a recommendation of Niko, the wonderful plumber who works locally. Niko has done work for me over the years, including large and small jobs. He recently replaced four radiators in my house which have helped us really be warm for the first time! I recommend Niko so whole heartedly because (1) he is completely straight forward and will advise you not to do something / a cheaper solution, if that is what is best for you; and (2) he is one of the kindest and most honest people I have ever known. He goes the extra mile to sort out problems, particularly urgent ones.

      The Mansion Tax

      By Jenijenjen · Posted

      Scaremongering - there is very little vacant land in East Dulwich available as sites for building 9 storey buildings so this is rather hypothetical. It could even be said the occasional taller, modern building breaks up the monotony of Victorian terraced housing.

      The Mansion Tax

      This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
