Our Labrador has spent the night at vets after a tsunami of vomit and tummy pain. Wondering if anyone else has experienced this and if it could be related to WW1 conditions on Peckham Rye, specially as dogs love to lap at those undraining puddles?

I recognise this is hyperbole for literary and humorous effect, but as it is now well over a 100 years since WWI, and as younger people read this who have no real idea of what conditions were like, on behalf of my late grandfather who served throughout that war (and had the three service medals starting with the Mons Star to prove it), and whose last major battle was Passchendaele (3rd Ypres)  I would remind younger readers that not just men, but horses actually drowned in the mud there, and that conditions on Peckham Rye now are absolutely nothing (give or take a little water logging) like conditions then.

Saw something on social media written by someone who had to take her dog to the vet with similar symptoms. Her vet said there was something going around in the dog population.  Her dog was given two separate injections and recovered very quickly. Not in this area.

You begin to wonder what might be in those pools of water on the Rye, is it purely ground water?

I hope your dogs are okay.

But if there is "something going around", as Azalea says, it could be complete coincidence that a dog became ill with similar  symptoms after drinking water from a puddle on the Rye?

I know absolutely nothing about things like this, but if there could be an issue with ground water making it toxic to animals, would that not be tested for as a matter of course?

I will ask my daughter, who is a hydrogeologist!

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
