The next forum drinks will be on Wednesday 19 November from  7pm onwards, in the lounge upstairs at the EDT (The East Dulwich Tavern, on the corner of Lordship Lane by the  Goose Green roundabout).

We will have a space in the same area as before (turn right at the top of the stairs and go past the bar).

The upstairs bar will be closed, so please buy a drink downstairs before you come up.

If you have mobility or other things which make stairs difficult for you, please message me and we can  make arrangements to help.

Also please message me if you have any questions.

Looking forward to seeing "old" and new faces!

Thanks to the EDT for hosting us!

Just to clarify, this is purely a friendly social occasion for people to meet each other, and not specifically intended to be to discuss matters relating to East Dulwich or the forum (though you can if you want to, of course!)

And you don't have to divulge your forum name (though again, you can if you want to!)

You can come at any time after 7pm, and of course can leave at any time!

This is tonight!

It is a friendly social meetup to get to know other forum members over drinks.

You can arrive and leave at any time from 7pm onwards. We will put a "forum drinks" notice on one of the tables so that hopefully you can't miss us!

It is not to discuss forum matters (unless you want to), and you don't have to divulge your forum name (unless you want to).

Should you be worried, so far there have been no fisticuffs, just friendly chats, so hopefully it will stay that way! 

Looking forward to seeing new and "old" faces!

Do message me if you have any questions!

Sorry about the strange formatting, I posted this in the events section by mistake, and it went a bit weird when I tried to copy it over.

Thanks to those who came to the November drinks! Some interesting conversations, as always!

We may give the December drinks a miss (as it's such a busy time for socialising and people have other things on)  and restart in January.

If anyone has any strong feelings one way or another, please let us know as we have to book the space!

Due to many people's packed social schedules at this time of year, we are giving the December Forum Drinks a miss and restarting at the EDT  in January (if they will have us! I think we have all been well behaved so far!)

Wishing everybody  a very happy festive season xxx

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      By giggirl · Posted

      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.
