I'm coming out of forum retirement to make a desperate plea...


Last Saturday someone collected MrJ's beige summer suit from Spot Dry Cleaners, on Lordship Lane near the Plough, by mistake instead of his own.

After a week of fobbing us off, the owner has today admitted that he knows the man's name and possibly his address (he thinks he lives on Woodwarde Road) but actually has no way of contacting him.

The suit is a beige, silk-linen, Charles Tyrwhitt summer suit with a 40 inch jacket and 34x34 trousers (a completely different size to the one left behind, so won't be any good to whoever's got it and might be a nasty surprise if they don't realise until they come to wear it!)


I know it's not the end of the world and the cleaner has reluctantly agreed to pay if it doesn't turn up, but it's a really nice suit and he'd really just like it back.


So, if you collected a suit from Spot Dry Cleaners last Saturday, especially if you live on Woodwarde, please check you've got the right one and if not PM me, or just take it back to the cleaners. Thanks.


ps Mr Admin, sir, I wasn't sure this was the right place for this, but I took the chance, sorry if I'm wrong!

I thought about it when I fisrt posted, puzzled, but I didn't quite feel right about putting someones name and street name on a public forum.


I did have a look at the electoral register yesterday (thanks to a handy PM tip) and can't find anyone of the name he gave us on Woodwarde, so he may actually have no idea who's got it.

Did you try googling the name and SE22? No idea if anything would come up, but worth a try maybe?

To be fair if you posted their name and street that's no different from when wrongly delivered post is posted to reunite it with it's owner- has been done a number of times and no complaints that I'm aware of. You can't so much sinister with a name and street address...

OP, especially given that this suit is a different size to your other half's, it is bound to be returned to the dry cleaners - whoever has it will have no interest in keeping it and they will certainly want theirs back. Even if they do not notice for a while, they are bound to go back to the same dry cleaners (it sounds like they are a regular) with some different dry cleaning.


I would sit tight - you will get it back.


I speak with experience too - this happened to me with a dry cleaners in Islington.

Well after three years they might have given up......

Huh, an email notification of new posts on my thread on the EDF. Well, that's a blast from the past.


Thanks, llyamah, and for the PM, but it was three years ago.


Sorry not to have updated, I hope no-one has been losing sleep over MrJ's lost suit, but we got it back not long after a posted. And not much longer after that moved out of ED.

    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.        
    • Now as an ex patient my impression was that their is a general lack of accountability  or responsibility by the staff at FHRGP and heaven forbid you should disagree with them, "not allowed". They want total control with no scrutiny. How that practice survives, I really don't know.  That being said, two or three of the staff are excellent.
