was walking the doggies in the park yesterday when a sainsbury's delivery van came trundling along the footpath. as the dogs were scampering back and forth, I stopped the van asked what he was doing. he said he was delivering to the cafe (0n the other side of the park) and was lost. I told him where the cafe was and he said (honest!): "i've done the delivery but I couldn't find a way back out." he then drove off along the narrow path beside the picnic area and managed to rip some branches off the trees. the last we saw of him was getting jammed in somewhere near the saxby gardens. what a pillock

Never noticed it on your posts before.


Though I would have put an "apparently" before the first "looking".


Sorry, as you were thread people :))

Satnavs eh? Pahhh

I live on the Nunhead side of Peckham Rye and came across a car round the back of Torridge Gardens. The driver asked me where the cafe was in the park as their satnav had told them to come down Torridge Gardens.

I said, couldn't you see the park on your right as you drove up here? TYhey said they had. I said, did you not see the road leading IN to the park? They said yes.

    • For every person like OP that moans their doorbell was rung and there was a knock on the door, there's someone else moaning that they didn't hear the delivery drivers. If you've ever done delivery work you'll know that loads of people's bells don't work. The delivery drivers probably goes to a hundred doors a day: press bell, knock door, drop package, move on. If you don't like delivery drivers, insist on delivery by Royal Mail where the workers have wages and a union - or just stop ordering shit online that's artificially cheap. But most of us (me included) don't want that
    • If someone comes to my house and bangs my door and slams my gate, I'd speak to them about it nicely and ask if they would please not do that. And then subsequently less nicely if they keep doing it, ending in reporting them.  We don't slam doors at home and I don't put up with that either. I can see us moving to a culture where we bribe drivers to be nice by tipping them, but we shouldn't have to. It's not necessary - does not matter if they are on minimum wage or not, or if society means that delivery services are outsourced or whatever reason anyone would like to concoct.     
    • We’ve got a gap on the roof of our shed that needs patching  don’t want to buy a huge roll so hoping someone has some leftover  happy to collect/reimburse 
    • I never said I thought it was targeted or deliberate. There also has never been a “stand off” or confrontation, we’ve spoken to them in a friendly manner about it. Our experience is they don’t seem to care. That’s the frustrating thing for us, if someone politely raises a concern at least take a second to reflect. Treat others how you would want to be treated.  I don’t want them to lose their job, far from it. But considering it could cost me a days work to fix any damage, I’m within my right to try prevent it.
