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.

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.

You think you've got problems - my partner hasn't received my Valentine's card yet. Posted in the lordship lane post office on morning of 13th Feb first class. As it turns out the same time/place she posted mine! And that hasn't arrived either.

Late delivery of mail should not be blamed on LL Post Office. Delivery of mail is the responsibility of the  distribution office on HighShore Road Peckham.
Things must have been sorted at LL PO as there has been no queue there the last four times I passed by mid-morning.

I'm tempted to ask if the dog ate your homework as well 😂

Also, regular reminder , that Post Office and Royal Mail are separate companies

OOOPS.

My daughter just had to pay a five pound fine.

I hadn't put a stamp on it.

I remember wondering whether to use a  first or second class stamp,  and clearly when I posted it I still hadn't decided (but sadly didn't notice).

I feel really bad for suspecting a postie might have  opened it. 

Sorry posties.

Postal deliveries are coming under scrutiny too

 

https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cm2xy9x27mvo

I've had the strangest PO email about my parcel. To quote

'We've received a request not to deliver mail to the property your item is addressed to today'

Who from? Who would request such a thing!

I think RM put out weird messages like this when they don't have the resources to fulfil the service within the time frame their customer has paid for.  I once had a message regarding a parcel non delivery that they were unable to deliver as my address was inaccessible as if there were severe blizzards or storms. They did however manage to deliver the regular mail that day.

      Dog feaces in East Dulwich!!

      By Sue · Posted

      Whilst I completely agree with the first part of your post, I think it's a terrible waste of council workers' time (and our council tax money) to be coming out to clear up individual instances of dog crap. I don't know what the answer is. I don't know why there don't seem to be dog crap bins any more, but even if there were I doubt if these dog owners would use them if they aren't picking up the crap in the first place. I can't remember why dog licences were scrapped? If memory serves they used to be seven and six in old money. Maybe it wasn't cost effective to run the system, but maybe it would be if they cost a lot more. I think dog training should be mandatory as well. I think a lot of people acquired dogs during Covid who maybe hadn't had one before, as the number of dogs around ED seemed to greatly increase around then. On the other hand, I do think most dog owners train their dogs and pick up after them. Unfortunately it's those who don't who we notice.

      Franklins is being sold

      He lived in my road, so I bumped into him quite often, but I knew him as Mick, not Mike. We originally met at the opening of The Actress. Crikey, how long ago that seems now. He had a fox in his window 🤣 Not a real one, obviously. I only found out that he had died because I hadn't seen him around for a while,  so I mentioned it  on our road WhatsApp group, and someone on there told me. He had been ill for some time, but he was just in the middle of what must have been extremely expensive private  dental treatment (a lot of implants) so I assume his death was sadly unexpected.
