When walking with my son to Dulwich Village Infants School two weeks ago, I observed the driver of a Royal Mail van draw up and then offload two infants whom he took into the school yard at 08:50am.


I traced the van to the Highshore Road Delivery Office.


Such use is unauthorised across all of Royal Mail.


The infants were at risk because none of RM's he vans are equipped with child seating . The van insurance would also be invalid because of the non-business use.


I did report it to RM but the mis-use continued for another two weeks.


If you see this happening, please report it to 020 7441 7751

wow

I find that response quite concerning given that none of the occupants in the vehicle are insured and without proper seating or restraints.


How would you feel if the pilot of an aircraft you were a passenger in had two kids on the flight deck?


Maybe you just don't like the idea of dobbing somebody in when they are breaking the rules. If so, how would you feel if you smelt alcohol on the breath of your pilot?

Times are hard right now for many people

You could potentially be making this man & his family homeless!


Instead of reporting him why did you not either raise your concerns with him or even put a note on his windscreen!


Some people need to get a life


I hope something never happens to you to disrupt your life in any way!


There’s a thing called karma, be careful it doesn’t come back & bite you!

As long as they weren't flying it I would have no problems


Unless of course one of them was Joe90

The alleged actions may have been unwise, and outwith PO regulations, but (1) there may be a back-story here in mitigation and (2) possibly making a person lose his job (that will really benefit his children, won't it?) and even be prosecuted seems a disproportionate outcome.


I'm afraid Covid-19 regulations and alleged breaches of them have brought out the Stasi under the skin in some people. A note on the windscreen might well have been sufficient. Acting to protect children (which is what I assume happened here) may have brought unintended consequences (well, clearly not unintended I suppose) which will be far more damaging to the family.

The OP saddens me.

I pray the guy doesn't lose his job over this.

God knows times are hard, maybe the other parent was unwell and unable to do the school run.

If it bothers you wait until he's dropped the kids off and have a polite word but please I beg you dont put a father's job at risk over this.

Unfortunately it is very much the society we live in nowadays - and we see examples of it daily be that twitter trolls and actively trying to get Cllr McAsh sacked from his job, cyclists gleefully filming driver indiscretions and reporting them to get them fined or this instance. If everyone could just live and let live the world would be a much nicer place.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
