I had experienced an officious member of staff at the PO over WHS in Forest Hill when trying to send a package abroad. I had never had a problem at the Forest Hill Road branch so ultimately decided to take the package there. As the content was prescribed medication for my son who has a heart condition, I explained what was in the package and the lady behind the counter checked with the boss, who I take it was Raj, who said there was no problem. They were extremely efficient, friendly and helpful, so different from the member of staff at WHS Post Office, Forest Hill. They will be very much missed as their friendly attitude and approach made it a pleasure to go into the shop. It had the feel of a country style post office and newsagent and they were so much a part of our community. We're gradually being homogenised! Very sad and sorry to see them go.

I know this seems selfish (and I am very sad to see the team go, they were very good at their jobs and nice people) but is the outlet to re-open as a sub-Post Office - or have we lost that as well? The sub-Post Office facility in Wood Vale was closed as the PO thought that it wasn't needed as we had the Forest Hill Road one nearby (and of course the CTN there very quickly closed as well once the PO revenues were lost) - is this one going now as well?

So with FHR sub PO closed till 2nd July, the alternatives ate the sub PO on Brockley Rise were the P12 terminates, PO in WHSmiths Forest Hill. PO at Goose Green, PO nearly opposite Peckham Bus terminal, can't think if there is one in Nunhead? or any other's.


Is there there a sub PO in the parade of shops close to the vets on Lordship Lane?


Seems we are short of sub post offices, so likely to be longer queues at other Post Offices.

That's in SE21. The whole of the SE22 postcode is now served by one PO which itself was saved from becoming a tacky shop/PO combo.

      Councillor McAsh defects to the Greens

      By malumbu · Posted

      @first mate  just Google the Green's policies and AI should summarise.  For sustainable transport this includes more initiatives to get people out of their cars as you would expect.  I've always been broadly in favour of their environmental policies, although feel they should go further on culture change. Some of their national policies are bonkers and/or unrealistic - as are most of Reform's.  Historically fringe parties could come up with nonsense, as they will never govern.  Of course whilst I don't expect that Polanski will ever be PM that other bloke could be.  Worrying times, particularly if the Greens split the centre/left vote.  It would be better if One Nation Tories could split the centre vote (and drag some of those on the right), but they don;t have a lot of influence in the current party. One particularly bonkers policy was one element of the Greens who wanted us out of Europe, not because of Europe being pro market/capitalism but because we needed a recession, deindustrialise, so we would all go back to the middle ages.  Or something along those lines.  I lost some friends because of this. https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p03y5trr#:~:text="Protectionism against developing countries%2C savage austerity in,the case for either remain or leave. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/jun/08/eu-reform-green-brexit

      I've planted a meadow out front, it needs a lot of work.  It's lovely until August and then grotty until the next spring as once the flowers have died back it doesn't have a lot going for it.  Clover is the last one to flower.  It will get admiring looks when in bloom. I laugh quite loud when I pass one neighbour with plastic grass, not only is it dead to nature it is not even laid well,   I should be crying.

      Recommendation: Spoiltdog aka Andy

      By TheRoses · Posted

      Andy did a number of jobs for me and was very reasonably priced. He's very helpful, arrives on time, pays attention to detail and a nice man. I'll be using him again and recommending him to my friends.
