Love how apparently it takes an hour to get to Peckham though . . I think this is just typical Guardian poor subbing, as earlier in the piece it refers to '30 minutes walk' - I think the piece should have read an hour-long round trip by bus - which would make more sense - with waiting times it may well be from many parts of ED.

In Southwark, 60% of households don't have access to a car. Page 11 http://content.tfl.gov.uk/technical-note-12-how-many-cars-are-there-in-london.pdf


Door to door from from Mount Adon Road it's about a 40 minute walk. The bus would shave maybe 10 minutes off that during peak times, so not far off to say an hour round trip.

Two buses? I also live near Sylvester Road. I get the 12 from Barry Road if going to Peckham by bus (but I've not had to go to the delivery office yet, thank goodness).

Taking 10-14 days for post to arrive with me right now! And the postmen we've got delivering are shockingly bad. Had post for west Norwood address yesterday, its miles away!! We always get next doors, they get ours, someone comes from 3 streets down. Its become a nightmare.

I have the same issues... Post once a week if we are lucky. Post for a different address on multiple occasions and even a parcel for another address that required a signature shoved through our letter box! It must be nearly 2 months since the sorting office closed and still no improvement.

Hi all,


Martha here from ITV LONDON.


We are looking to report on what has been happening to your post and the closure of the East Dulwich depot on the news tomorrow.


I am looking to speak to as many of you that have been effected as possible.


I have put in a bid to speak to Helen Hayse who I understand has been leading the campaign.


I also also requested to speak to someone from Royal Mail.


Please get in contact if you would be happy to speak to us - [email protected]


Thanks so much!

Martha

I was thinking the exact same thing - one card from Japan so far and none from the UK! Luckily international parcels have been sent by DHL etc.

noticed that - at least they have journalists taking note of ED :)


I think on the hours round trip it would include walking to the bus stop - going back in to check you turned the lights off - walking out again - waiting for the bus - travelling on the bus - a queue up East Dulwich Road and jostling through the crowd on Rye Lane. So probably is 30 mins each way.

I thought it was just me, but no Christmas cards either.

      Majority of reported hate crime is based on ethnicity, brown, black and mixed heritage. Religious hate crime is lower and most affects Muslims, Jews to a slightly lowers number and a small percentage of Hindus and Sikhs.   Real or perceived atrocities committed by Muslim extremists and the state of Israel will influence numbers  Anyone who has been to a protest against the war in Gaza will see mainly peaceful and good natured crowds including Jews against war. @CPR Dave stop making a fool of yourself. Corbyn cannot admit to being wrong.  He sprouted nonsense that Russia was not responsible for the Salisbury poisoning, would not be contrite about the accusations of anti-Semitism, and is partly to blame for Brexit. He may be principled and a decent person but is not a Messiah and ran a poor campaign in the 2019 general election, a gift for Johnson. I expect he would have been pants in dealing with COVID, and Johnson set a low bar. I'm with Miss Jean Brody on the Spanish Civil War.  It maybe not!

      How does your mind work? This is a thread about a bakery that may be opening. Your grasp of history is extremely weak. Mosley’s fascists were opposed and defeated all over the east end, not with petitions either. The principal leadership in driving them back came from the Communist Party but it was a united, cross community movement. The Daily Mail provided constant support for the British Union of Fascists and, along with sections of the Conservative Party, echoed their racist rhetoric. Plus ca change, plus c’est la meme chose. Excuse my French. To characterise pro-Palestinian demonstrations attended by thousands of Jews among the hundreds of thousands of people from across British society as “protesting Jews’ rights to exist” or comparing them to Mosley’s blackshirts is frankly sickening. You should be utterly embarrassed and ashamed of yourself.

      I really hope so too, but they aren't going to get much passing trade, and parking round there isn't easy. Fingers crossed.
