Has anyone else had trouble with the Christmas post? Have just been told about a card + papers that I sent from Lordship Lane. When recieved it had obviously been opened and the contents taken, and, even odder, an entirely different set of papers enclosed. My elderly friend was very surprised and worried to recieve a summons addressed to someone completely different

A birthday card sent to me from Coventry took over a week to arrive and when it finally got here, someone had slit it open carefully along the top and then resealed it with sellotape. We have no idea why it was opened as there was nothing inside or any kind of embossing or badge on the card which would make anyone think there was.

I imagine it's impossible to know where in the delivery process it happened. Also it could have been delivered to the wrong house, someone opened it and then put it back in the post box or through the door.

I probably would take very nice photos and Facebook them if you wanted a general solution.


Contacting the local office would get a union based claim that if we employed Christmas staff all year round on twice the salary with 60 days holiday this wouldn't occur.


Neither practical nor affordable for the price of a first class stamp.

I told the Post Office in LL and they were very sympathetic and even lent me their phone to contact Customer Services. When I finally got through they were completely useless. Didn't want to know. Told me it had to be the recipient who complained not the sender. Tried their website - useless agian

It was pouring with rain on Friday(14th) when my post was delivered. All the envelopes were soggy and frayed and had come apart along the bottom edge,so that they were very nearly open. Could that be what had happened to your post SebsC?

    • I’m not a Gail’s fan but there’s no reason a business shouldn’t open on Christmas Day. However, nobody should be compelled to work the day which, given the widespread coverage of Gail’s questionable employment practices, has to be a possibility here.  The only business I ever use on the 25th is maybe a pub and that’s a rarity these days but buses running would be very welcome for visiting etc. But the swings in the park should definitely remain chained up. Are parks even open on Christmas Day?
    • To be honest, pal, it's not good being a fan of a local business and then not go there. One on hand, the barber shop literally next door to Romeo Jones started serving coffee. The Crown and Greyhound and Rocca serve coffee. Redemption Coffee opened up not far away, and then also Megan's next door to that. DVillage was serving coffee (but wasn't very popular), as was Au Ciel (which is). Maybe also Heritage Cheese, I don't know. There's also Flotsam and Jetsam doing coffee and sandwiches at Dulwich Picture Gallery in the other direction. The whole of Dulwich Village serves coffee. And yet on the other hand, there are enough punters to support all good coffee shops. With the exception of Rocca and Megan's (which are both big spaces) and C&G (which does coffee like everything else - slow and with bad service), all these places regularly get queues out the door. Gail's often has big queues and yet very few people crossed the street to Romeo Jones (which was much better)... Half the staff at Gail's are perfectly fine and efficient. The other half are pretty offhand and rude. It's certainly not welcoming or friendly service. But they're certainly hard working, and no doubt raking the money in for Luke Johnson...
    • Well according to a newspaper article, Gail’s is opening 10 shops in London,,, yup Dulwich is named 10/5 I seem to recall with others in London opening at 7 am…!, Guess that is to capture workers coming off all night shift. Offering free mince pies until they run out.. So very sad to hear about Romeo Jones… been a customer since the opening, any idea where Patrick has gone or details… please pm me.    What is going to be in its place…. Will be around in Jan…umm village is changing….
    • interesting the police said "the car was in demand at the moment" what make/model is that?
