the reason there are so many threads is because it keeps getting moved to the business section, which is annoying and i don't really see why...

Should threads be moved elsewhere and another is started up it would be really helpful, to those that might not navigate around the forum so much or even realise (those on mobile devices) there are other sections, for others to link on the thread where they might find it...

not sure why it's not allowed in the general section, it's the post office! not a restaurant.


anyway i'm self employed and rely on the post office, i just went by and it's still closed, same sign. i would assume it's not coming back, but we shall see on monday.

Urgh, my parcel appears to be stuck in the Forest Hill Road PO - I posted an urgent overnight parcel on Monday evening and it never arrived. Now I've got no way of retrieving it or contacting anyone about it, as Parcelforce have no record of it and no one is answering the phone at the FHR PO. There's not so much as a note on the door saying what is happening.


Does anyone knows anything about when it will reopen? Obviously I hope everyone who works there is OK.

I passed the Post Office yesterday and today. The queue is out the door and down the street and there is also a queue there for Barclays, a bus stop and people walking along the road. There was no social distancing because of the number of people- the whole area is a disaster waiting to happen

Are you sure the M and S queue wasn't going down Chesterfield grove...that's where it was going yesterday?

It is today, but was quiet when I went past yesterday afternoon.



Just used the PO, was about a 20 min wait.

A bit difficult to do IF say I dunno... they don't have staff due to self isolation...

Just putting that thought out there!

It's easy to say this and that should be operating how you expect them to do so but people really need to think of others too.

Queued at Walworth rd branch for 2 hours to post something back. That was being there an hour before opening hours. The amount of people waiting was enormous! It had been closed for a few days and seemed like a one off to be open. Was exhausted mentally after, couldn't wait to get home.

    • Hello,  I am interested to know people's opinion regarding dogs left tied up outside shops.  As I am hoping most dog owners are aware of how high risk it is now for dog theft.  People's houses are targeted for dog theft, even waiting to have a dog out in their back gardens, even for few minutes, to steal.  This is a very common occurrence now, as is breaking into properties to steal dogs.  The reasons behind dog theft varies, from using to breed, sell on, to use to sit whilst asking for money, (obviously not all people asking for money are dog thieves & may well own their own dog) and for dog bait for fighting.  This is not me being a drama queen, it is there for anyone to research regarding dog theft.  So would you leave your dog tied up outside a shop? 
    • I don't know if any of the cricket or tennis clubs also have little gyms. There are also pilates studios on Melbourne Grove, Blackwater St, North Cross Rd and even the community hall of the church on Calton Ave. The David Lloyd gym in Orpington is very luxurious and expensive.  
    • HI CPR Dave, I have to agree with Dogkennelhillbilly. We still have net migration into the country as per the Office of National Statistics- https://www.ons.gov.uk/peoplepopulationandcommunity/populationandmigration/internationalmigration It may go negative in a year or two if pundits specialising in this are correct, but it isn't yet. Hi Dogkennelhillbilly, I don't think your maths is correct. Southwark Council states total empty homes at 8,588 -https://southwarknews.co.uk/news/housing/southwark-has-over-8500-empty-homes/ the total number of homes is 135k. Which means 6.36% are empty. However, while canvassing came across an empty home which does not appear to have been appreciated by Southwark Council who are now investigating whether the empty Home Council Tax Premium should have been applied for the last 10+ years. It seems likely the 8,588 is under reporting the number of empty homes.  Infill sites are defined by most public bodies was non strategic sites from a development perspective. The railway yard and other sites are in the Southwark strategic plans and thus would not be infill sites.  Tall buildings planted into lower surrounding suburban areas is a subjective matter whether they are viewed as out of character for the area. It is factually true that I think they are out of character. Equally you have no qualms about such tall buildings being planted into the SE22 area.
