On a positive note, although all my subscription magazines have been delivered late, and some very late, I believe I have now received all outstanding issues. The next ones are due on Friday. If they do arrive then it may be that, at least for my deliveries, we have got, or are getting, back to what should be normal.


I'm not holding my breathe on that, and I do know there is other mail outstanding. But not, I think a lot.

No mail on Thursday and Friday as they will be striking.

Delighted to get 2 items of post this week. However when I phoned the sender of one item in Scotland to thank her she said she had posted it a couple of months ago! A catalogue for my partner had special offer prices if he ordered by 10th November... The only 'good' thing that I can see coming out of this is no way am I risking ordering any Christmas gifts on the web this year, all my purchases will be made from our many lovely local traders.

If you are having stuff delivered to third parties outside SE22 this shouldn't be an issue - and for many companies you can now arrange local pick-up - where 3rd party (non Royal Mail) carriers are concerned. If you have a 'local' friend who is local but not in SE22 you could arrange delivery to them (with their agreement) as the real problems seem to lie with the SE22 Delivery Office (now in Peckham).


Which is not to argue against using local traders, of course, but for some products they may not be able to offer as wide a range locally. The footprints of most local stores are limited, which means the range of stocking may also be - so they may not have (to quote the Beattie ad of many years ago) 'all the sizes in all the colours'.

I recieved a letter from a debt collection company yesterday on behalf of euro car parks for parking in tessa jowel clinic even though I had an appointment the offence was committed on the 7th September but did not recieve a pcn from them , the first I heard of this was when I got this letter from the debt company asking for £155 , I've sent an email to euro car parks about this and iam waiting for a reply .. I refuse point t blank to pay this fine as I had no letter from them apparently they sent 2 or 3 to me. I will let them take me to court

I will let them take me to court


I would write to Helen Hayes about this - she can supply a letter to the Court (if she agrees!) supporting your contention that the postal service has been locally so bad that non-delivery of such letters in a timely fashion is now the rule rather than the exception. It is better to clear this up, however, before it comes to Court proceedings - so getting a letter of support from your MP (Ms Hayes) to use with the debt collectors/ the firm managing Tessa Jowell parking before any case goes to court will be a far less expensive route.


Do also remember that, appointment or no, you are required to book-in your number plate at Tessa Jowell when parking to avoid proceedings. If you didn't do that, the best you may hope for is that the postal delays mean that you can pay the minimum fine rather than one exacerbated by postal delays!

      Excellent Christmas meal at Franklins!

      Was that the Hare Krishna place? I can't remember exactly where it was (or maybe still is) but it was somewhere around Oxford Street.

      Any interest in a Barter scheme?

      By Sue · Posted

      The "for sale" section on this forum lets people offer things for free or cheaply. And the "wanted" section let's people ask for things they want or need, for free or cheaply. There are also existing schemes like Freecycle, and also local  food banks. And there is (or was) a local scheme where you can bring things to be repaired free. I think it is/was based in Nunhead. Isn't that simpler than having a barter system? You might have something to give away, but the person who wants it might not have anything you want. Or have I misunderstood how it works? I can see that offering services free might not fit into existing schemes, but depending on what they were, what would happen if things went horribly wrong eg someone wrecked your house? Sorry if the above sounds very negative.

      Just found these matches!

      I'm wondering why they would do that? Because surely positive reviews could only help them, and if they thought they might get negative reviews, shouldn't they have been addressing the reasons that might be (unless someone had an unwarranted grudge against them)? But in any case, how could they have stopped people posting reviews on here? PS I have corrected your typo! 😃

      Agreed. Just stating as a historic fact they tried to stiffle reviews.
