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...

    • That's very special ♥️
    • @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.  
    • 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.
