Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

[Lynne]

Went to LL PO first thing this morning and was dismayed at the condition it was in. The floor was  full of bits of paper, receipts, wrapping paper etc and looked generally dirty. In this weather I could have understood this at closing time but not at 9.30am. There were boxes lying about, some opened. It just looked dirty and uncared for. If it had been a food shop I'd have walked out.

To be fair, if I saw you eating any of the parcels I'd have walked out.

I noticed last night that the illuminated sign now describes this place as the POT OFFICE. Presumably THC vapes are more profitable than being a drop-off point for bloody Evri

Have they still not fixed it? that's pretty shabby. I took this picture on New Year's Day and it's been like this at least since before Xmas.

Why would they? They aren’t open at night

But they are open when it's dark at some times of the year.

If they weren't, they would have no need for an illuminated sign in the first place.

Postal deliveries are coming under scrutiny too

Anyone see news last night? Topic was postal deliveries or lack of them.  Sites an example of postie going on two weeks hols and no back up or temp in place. Showed delivery room packed with letters waiting! Parcels get top priority. Amazing isn’t it as unemployment figures have risen.. wouldn’t have thought it was rocket science  to utilise some of these unemployed folk to help out. Get fresh air, fitter, more than dole  and surely can follow a round since most people are glued to their mobiles. Maybe not happening because of union and can’t imagine they need a dbs! Umm..

I recently sent my granddaughter a birthday card. I posted it really early to make sure it got delivered in time.

Over two weeks  later it still  hasn't arrived,  and in retrospect I think I shouldn't have put "Do not open until 12 February" on the back of the envelope.

I really hope I'm wrong, and I have a suspicious mind, but I wonder if someone somewhere in the postal system thought there was money in it 🙄

Obviously there wasn't, I'm stupid but not that stupid, she got her birthday money by BACS.
