Yep this. It's actually possible to walk from LL post office to the DV one , get your stuff done and be back on LL before you would have been served. I know this to be true because I've done it. Twice.

There is a perfectly good sub post office in the big convenience store next to Badger's Bakery, opposite Dulwich Library.

Post Office Limited runs post offices. Royal Mail plc does postal deliveries. The two are operationally separate.

Bugger, really? When did that happen? I thought I was just in there...

our really long queue the other day was considerably lengthened by the woman with the inch and a half long nails who couldn't type, open the stamp book or the till drawer or the customer slidy thing or do anything much really. it would have been much funnier if it didn't involve standing around for half an hour
Just out of interest, Post Office Counters (high street main post offices), Post Office Parcels and The Royal Mail (letters, registered post, small parcels) are all separate businesses. And most 'post offices' are actually franchised businesses (sub post-offices) run by small entrepreneurs. Hermes competes with Post Office Parcels. Normally if you are the recipient you will not get to choose the carrier. [There is a confusion as physical post offices (main and sub) act as agents both for The Royal Mail and Post Office Parcels].

Revived as it's coming up to Christmas and the queues are out the door.

I turned up there just to get a proof of posting (5 second operation) and was happy to see a man at the front till as he can do the proof from there. He was serving 2 people who had wrapping paper- he collects the people from the queue who do not need special service.

I asked if he was doing proof of posting and he said he was going down the queue (so I got on the end- even though the proof takes 5 seconds and I am obviously not a spring chicken)

He asked the first person in the queue and they needed the counter. He went back to the front till to get something from under the till and then disappeared out the back. Then he pottered about and did not ask anyone else from the massive queue so I ended up waiting there 15 minutes unnecessarily.

(I did notice the absolutely filthy state of the fans- the leading edges were black and filthy- gross)

    • Why don’t you speak to head of English at private schools? Might be able to recommend a senior student.. pity now summer hols.   Was how my friend found a tutor for both their kids - maths and science and English.. They also have some mag covering schools as well
    • What is the reason for the change in name? Just curious.
    • Why change it?  You’ve got a fantastic historic, memorable name and you want to change it for something innocuous,  meaningless and empty
    • From the school newsletter:   A New Name for Dog Kennel Hill As you know we have been discussing and consulting with stakeholders about a  name change at DKH for a while. Following engagement with staff, pupils and  families, we gathered all views on a name change for the school and after  careful consideration of the feedback, the Local Committee and the Trust have  agreed with changing the school name to Grove Primary School from  September 2025.  Over the next few months we will begin a gradual process of changing our  name on signage, our website and emails etc. We will keep you updated.  We will be looking at designing a new logo to match the new school name and  will be working closely with a graphic designer to get creative. The school  council will be actively involved in this process. We will share the results with  you as soon as a design has been agreed and confirmed. We will be creating a  new school jumper to replace the old one, once the logo has been finalised. We  will phase this in over time.  We know that this is a welcoming change for some and that there are  parents and children who will be sad about the change. However, as a school  we think it will be a positive change for our school community and we will  work together to ensure that the ethos and culture of DKH will remain!
