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?

    • This is simply untrue. The area is not 2/3 storeys maximum. Hambledon Court is on the other side of tracks from the Jewson site on Burrow Rd, is 8 storeys, and is barely known (let alone bothersome) to most people in East Dulwich. Felbridge House, Petworth House etc on the opposite side of the station from the new development are all 5 storeys tall. East Dulwich Charter (which neighbours the new development) is itself 4-5 storeys (depending on which block you're talking about). What's more, Hambledon Court was finished in about 1978 iirc and no-one has built anything similar around here since then - so the "slippery slope" "genie in the bottle" argument doesn't work either. You can't simultaneously argue that Southwark is too slow in approving new construction but also suggest this will lead to a flood of new high-rise housing! At current rates of approval, we can expect our next 8 storey building to arrive in...2072!
    • I checked - the Hanway Street place was Mandeer - it moved to New Oxford Street I think and was replaced by Hakkasan - very different prices. 
    • Suppose it depends on how many Christmas cards from family and friends you’re waiting to receive. It’s been the Christmas period so surely give the post delivery service some leeway. Like Sue I’ve not posted off so many this year but some I still write letters to  e.g my late mum’s cousins and other family  but hey ho that’s something I do and enjoy.  I used to hand deliver Christmas cards to a lot of neighbours on my street but gave up this year as realised that most of them I don’t see or speak to and can only count on a few to call a true friend or neighbour.
