Yes, complain to Royal Mail, no point complaining on here!


It's not just Royal Mail, it's all of them.


Mostly they don't bother to ring the bell, they flap the letterbox a bit in a half-hearted sort of way.


In one case the bell did ring, I went to answer it and got there to see the van driving off and a parcel dumped on my wall (not even on the mat) by somebody who couldn't even have known I was in.

WFHomers have to do their bit for society. A WFH neighbour is a very handy thing.

I had an email from Amazon a few weeks ago, saying "we'd tried to deliver, but no one was in". As the delivery address was a business, there was someone in and available all day. I assumed the driver decided it was time to knock off and just marked everyone as out.


But to the OP, you would probably find that, had you actually seen the postie, he probably didn't have your parcel anyway... just the card.

I had one from RM for a parcel last Friday, but couldn't swear for certain that the bell wasn't rung, given that it was timed at 7.34 am. But I did notice that the postie's name/id part had just a slightly diagonal dash in it. I've no idea if that's the identifier used by one particular postie, or just an anonymous dash. What's on yours?

      Assistance Dogs - Autism: any experiences?

      By JMK · Posted

      https://www.assistancedogs.org.uk/information-hub/assistance-dogs-emotional-support-dogs-and-therapy-dogs/   hello   i’d be interested to understand if anyone.has experience of Assistance Dogs especially for autistic children of different ages for emotional support and therapy   There was a prior thread on this topic on EDF 10 hrs ago but it had limited experiences and there was a (claimed) change in UK legislation in 2019. Whilst the industry appears unregulated/unlicensed, there are several providers (approx 15, perhaps more) who claim to have fully trained dogs or say that they can help families to train a puppy/young dog over the 18-24 months.  The latter obviously comes with a need for strong commitment to the challenge. Costs for a fully trained assistance dog are quoted at £13-15k albeit they claim £23k total cost to train the dog. On the one hand, this could potentially be a useful solution for some families if such a dog was truly trained as their websites claim and such a dog was accepted in public places and schools etc… On the other hand, I don’t think that I’ve ever seen an assistance dog of this type or in this context (only for a blind or partially sighted person) and hence a real risk of fraud or exploitation! The SEN challenge for families coupled with limited resources in schools or from local authorities or the NHS as well as the extremely challenging experience of many families with schools offering little or no support or making the situation worse leaves a big risk of lots of different types of fraud and or exploitation in this area.

      Missing Cat

      By jeffersjd · Posted

      Hi there  We live on Woodwarde Road backing on to Alleyns Top Field.  Our cat Gigi has gone missing — it’s been about 24 hours now. She is a cream Bengal. Could you please check sheds, garages, or anywhere she might have got stuck please? And if you could keep an eye out or share on any local groups/forums, we’d really appreciate it. Photo attached.   Thanks so much! My name is Jeff on 07956 910068.
