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.

      @alice I suggest you reserve judgement until you've experienced it yourself.

      SIM card for spare mobile

      By Sue · Posted

      Yes, I've never bought a  phone that was locked to a specific network. So as far as I know,I can just stick any SIM card in my old mobile. I think it still works, but there must have been some reason why I bought a new one. I think I wanted something with more storage capacity. I hardly ever make actual phone calls, I usually use WhatsApp or texts or emails, but clearly if my main phone is stolen I would need to make various phone calls ASAP. I was just going to get a cheap card from Argos, so I'm not sure anybody there would know! The actual mobile I use is on a SIM only contract with iD, so maybe I should just ask them. I don't care about the number as it's only for occasional use. I've had my main mobile number ever since I've had a mobile, so around 25 years, and I do care about that number as it's very easy to remember,  so I've moved it around whenever I've changed providers  Oh, really? I thought there were just two sizes and if you needed the smaller one you just took off the surrounding bit? Surely mobiles take a SIM card for any network, otherwise you could never change network without changing your phone? How long have you had that SIM card in the phone? If I  have to make phone calls using the back up phone, the person I was calling wouldn't know who it was! They might think it was spam! I'd have to tell them in advance that I was going to call them 🤣

      No, the behaviour exhibited on the Rye, and now maybe neighbouring roads, goes far beyond 'age old silly behaviour'. It is intimidation.
