Hi EDF-ers!!!


Sad to report that the daily newspapers are already going wrong again? after just only 3 or 4 weeks.


Last Monday there were NO newspapers at all at 1400. No explanation, no apology, no information.


Today - inexplicably - no Daily Mirror.


No explanation, no apology, no concern by staff. Just ?it wasn?t in the delivery?.


Two failures in one week? Maybe chase up the supplier? Maybe that?s way over dramatic!


Wonder if Southwark council - that is you & me - the taxpayers are still being billed for literally, well, nothing? Send your answers in on a postcard, don?t even waste EDF server data storage!!!


Maybe local government Southwark are trying to match the Boris government at national level. Dysfunctional, unaccountable, ineffective, inconsistent & unable to achieve even the simplest thing. (Disclaimer: Last sentence is a ?Personal opinion?).

Oh no, how terrible. It?s a sign of the times, what with WW3 breaking out and all. How did you survive no Daily Mirror for a day and worse still the poor hapless staff not falling on their knees with apologies before a tax payer. I really feel for you, the world is so unjust

Bit of a waste of the EDF this discussion tho? if a missing Daily Mirror is the worst someone encounters in a South London library in 2022, then it?s passed me by that we have achieved utopia. πŸ€ͺ


Maybe I?ve missed something about this post!

Can I disagree with this in principle? A democracy needs a well informed public. Someone who read the range of newspapers available in most public libraries would have the opportunity to be well informed. I think that important.

Sometimes it feels like the Thought Police are monitoring and posting on this forum.


What's wrong with expecting that a service provided by Southwark libraries should actually be provided reliably.


What's trivial to one person may be important to another and shouldn't it be ok to state a view seemingly trivial or otherwise without being patronised?

Do you think a diktat could possibly have been issued?

The accounts are usually open for public inspection for a period during the annual audit. That's usually in the summer.

In the meantime, have you emailed the office, if your interrogation methods have failed with the on-site staff?

For some people, leaving their home once a day to read a free daily newspaper in their local library can be an emotional and/or physical lifeline, so think beyond the headline.


Luckily in the UK we are free to choose the type of mogul-sponsored press-releases drivel that has become of the British so-called media (aka ?cut and paste the press-release machinery). But that?s a different thread. In China, for example, there is just one type of state sponsored drivel, so count your blessings that in the UK we can chose from a wide range of press release drivel.

    • Here's the part of march46's linked-to Southwark News article pertaining to Southwark Council. "Southwark Council were also contacted for a response. "Councillor James McAsh, Cabinet Member for Clean Air, Streets & Waste said: β€œOne of Southwark’s key priorities is to create a healthy environment for our residents. β€œTo achieve this we closely monitor legislation and measures that influence air pollution – our entire borough apart from inland waterways is designated as a Smoke Control Area, and we also offer substantial provision for electric vehicles to promote alternative fuel travel options and our Streets for People strategy. β€œWe as a council support the work of Mums for Lungs and recognise the health and environmental impacts of domestic solid fuel burning, particularly from wood-burning appliances. β€œWe are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from Β£175 to Β£300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution.Β  β€œThis work is being undertaken in collaboration with other London boroughs as part of the pan-London Wood Burning Project, which aims to harmonise enforcement approaches and share best practice across the capital.” ETA: And here's a post I made a few years ago, with tangential relevance.Β Β https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/278140-early-morning-drone-flying/?do=findComment&comment=1493274 Β
