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.

      Are Our Victorian Streets Secretly an Obstacle Course? 🚗😅

      By CPR Dave · Posted

      There are two causes for this problem   The first is that modern safety requirements for cars (to protect pedestrians and cyclists in collisions) mean huge amounts of excess spacing in crumple zones to provide a cushion on impact. For example, in the past a lot of pedestrians suffered catastrophic head injuries when they ran in front of a car, because the bonnet was close to the engine block, so their heads bent the bonnet into the solid immovable engine and their heads cam off worse. To mitigate that there is now a huge amount of flex and space so that the head is cushioned from the engine. Naturally, the rest of the body work and car frame has had to increase to accommodate this safety measure.   The second issue is electrification.   Electric cars are massive because they have to carry huge batteries around to make them work. Massive amounts of space and height is given over to batteries in electric cars. The new electric Renault 5 (described as a "compact" hatch back) is nearly 4 metres long 2 metres wide.    That makes it longer and wider than the original Range Rover.

      Are Our Victorian Streets Secretly an Obstacle Course? 🚗😅

      By HeadNun · Posted

      Pretentious status vehicles.  Last year I was trying to drive down my own street but, being in a little, inferior car, was expected to make way for a stream of SUVs / Chelsea tractors as they barged along beside me. After what felt like an age, I saw a window of opportunity, but was beaten to it by yet another tank. By this stage I was irate (I hate the things) and having a full on shouting match with myself behind the wheel.  A Tesla in the oncoming queue pulled in, flashed and courteously allowed me to take my moment. The Tesla's windows were tinted, but not so much that I wasn't able to make out the driver, as I passed him. I'd recognise that mega-watt smile anywhere. It was Peter Crouch, laughing and giving me the thumbs up, clearly entertained by my tantrum.

      I recently had a utility room built, next to the kitchen. Dean Richards and his team carried out the works, they did a fantastic job. Thorough, with attention to every detail.  If you are considering an extension, refurbishment or renovation, Dean comes highly recommended.  Dean Richards  07888 651798
