This morning I was coming down the stairs when I saw a Royal Mail card come partly through the letterbox. Nobody had rung the bell, which was working. The card announced a special delivery parcel for a person unknown to me but with our address. As nobody of that name has lived here for at least 33 years, if ever, I do not understand how this has happened. If anyone knows K Doragh, (or I C Doragh) we have a card about their parcel, which is apparently at the delivery office in Highshore Road. Why did Royal Mail make no attempt to deliver the parcel, when I could have told them nobody of that name lived at our address? Or is this some kind of scam?

if there's a tracking number on the card, i would enter it into https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item#/the track and trace on the royal mail website to see what comes up

I?ve been told that when this happens it?s because they don?t actually have it with them. They haven?t attempted to deliver it, they only ever had the red slip with them. A postal worker at Peckham sorting office told me that this is because they use ?a lot of agency staff and they can?t be trusted to take parcels as unfortunately there?s a lot of theft.?

Not ideal..

I've had two red cards yesterday to say that I wasn't in when, in fact, I was only feet away from my front door.


No way did anyone try to deliver 2 parcels I have paid postage for.


And whilst we are at it....this means I have to DRIVE to Peckham to collect my parcels whilst this forum is debating the

problems of too many car journeys in this area.


I wonder how many car journeys this slack system is creating?


Time for some formal complaints to Royal Mail.

Today I got a message from Amazon to tell me RM tried to deliver my parcel at 8.49 and again (!) at 11. I was home on both occasions and no card has been left! I got the tracking details from Amazon but what is Royal Mail playing at? I have booked a redelivery for Saturday but am not holding my breath...

    • Not only can he turn olive oil into Vermouth, but also water into a wine. A true miracle worker.  I wouldn't say a wine shop sells a wide variety of things - and there are two right next to each other.  And once upon a time, upmarket pizza shops were very specific. So were burritos etc. They're clearly becoming mainstream; we should consider ourselves lucky to be witnessing this exciting upward trend within our lifetimes and on OUR HIGH STREET. We can tell our grandkids that we remember when there was no internet and no empanadas.  I'm sure that if the family empanada people have a good business head, they'll be able to ride this wave of competition, just like Bruno has. 
    • Very economical. Are you available for events? I've got a gathering of 5000 coming up soon. What could you knock up with two little fishes and five loaves of bread? Cod in breadcrumbs? Fish finger sandwiches? Spanish-style croquetas de bacalao with a Romesco sauce? It's BYOB for beer, so there's no need to worry about that and I've managed to do an unbelievable deal on water and wine. Drop me a DM on here or ask for Dave or Jesus (pronounced 'Hay-Zooze') in The Herne, left hand side of the bar.
