I sent a greetings card to a friend in ED from ND last Thursday morning by first class post and they received it today.


Then again, during the past few months I've regularly sent the same to Birmingham and Nottingham and they get it the next day.


It must be something to do with your local sorting office.

The post in ED seems to be noticeably worse than in surrounding areas. I had a friend in Pimlico send a package both to me, and to a friend in West Norwood at the same time on Weds (First Class). The West Norwood package arrived promptly yesterday. The post has just come here, and there's still no sign of mine (just something from Thames Water).


I've had packages sent to me from Liverpool and from Manchester last Tuesday (26th May), neither of which have arrived over 10 days later.


What can we do about this ???

I wouldn't have noticed because no one in our household is waiting on anything really. But I can tell you that I was scheduled for an MRI for last Tuesday (notified via text) and recieved the notification of the appointment yesterday (2 days AFTER the appointment). This is my experience, so yes, it looks as though things are a bit delayed by a good amount of time as I've always received the appointment letter 1-2 weeks in advance of the appointment.
Had a chat with our postman today. He said the volume is sky-high as everyone is ordering things for delivery, and, he thought that about 30% of staff is out either with Covid or isolating. He was told to grab as many parcels as he could today to get them out -- there is a massive stack of backlog.

    • Unexpected events can mean you can't attend a booked swim. I think a 4 hour cancellation period is fine.  It leaves enough time for people to be able to take the place after it's cancelled.  
    • To the best of my knowledge there are three shops on Lordship Lane selling fruit and veg (or at least displaying them outside) and sadly I now no longer go to two of them because of, to put it kindly, the  "mistakes".  Those I've actually noticed. (the other one I just admire the wonderful  display but assume I can't afford to buy anything).
    • I didn't know they were on Deliveroo! Wondering if central East Dulwich is within 2.5 miles (crosses her fingers)? According to Google maps it's a 40 minute walk from mine, so I guess it depends how fast you walk. Will consult ChatGPT for hopefully an accurate assessment of the actual distance (or look on Deliveroo. Duh. 🤣) ETA: Chat GPT says about 2 miles. But I had  first uploaded a screenshot of their website with their address and  postcode on, and before I could ask my question it had come back with a rewrite of their website blurb, which it didn't have a high opinion of 🤣
