Did you pick up a beige suit from Spot Dry Cleaners last Saturday?

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.

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.

      4+ Assessment Advice for Parents

      By Lord Pencilton · Posted

      It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️

      GALA 2026

      By kiera · Posted

      Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.

      So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
