Hi, if you read this or know this person would you contact me via PM. I've had two letters misdelivered to me without a return address (without opening them obviously). They seem to be from the same source and I can see one relates to an appointment (window envelope)for you. Hope to be able to find a home for these soon.

I did this once, with letters that repeatedly arrived from what turned out to be a debt collection agency. They weren't particularly thankful and made it very clear that opening someone else's letters is illegal. I've never looked into it or discovered what the fine or punishment would be, but you can also just write "return to sender" on the front, pop it in the postbox and let Royal Mail do the rest.

That's what I'd do, illegal or not.


I'd be extremely grateful to have somebody open a letter to me which had been wrongly addressed and gone elsewhere if it had some time-critical health or financial implication, and it's very easy for somebody copying stuff into a computer in an office to get a house number wrong. Or even the whole address .....


If it looks like an appointment, sounds like it could be time-critical, even if not urgent.

Surely if the source has the wrong address, returning it back to them, or opening the letter serves no purpose as they don't have the correct address.


I think AM has done the most sensible thing by posting on here.


Hopefully somebody will recognise the name & it will reach it's rightful owner more quickly.

Well they may well have the correct address, just some low-paid minion has copied the address wrongly when sending the letter ......

Yes and I did check it but I don't seem to be able to send her a message.I think she has 1 connection so possibly not a big user. From what I can read the appointment is personal and perhaps not something I should publicly state.

It's an unusual name.


Googling it brings up (apart from the Linked In link) an Elisa Onuoha living in SE6, with a link to her full address.


OK it may be a completely different person, but she could either have moved from that address or moved to that address, so worth investigating?


It's on 192.com and from quite old electoral records, but if you still don't want to open the letter/s and you still want to contact her, it's probably your only hope (unless the council might help?)

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By fishboy · Posted

      We used to feed the birds, but once the parakeets discovered this they just took over, scaring away all the other species and eating everything in sight. I tried scaring them away with a Nerf gun, but they just didn't care. I know it will open a can of worms (no pun intended) but I really think  the parakeet population needs to be reduced; yes they are pretty, but they are just like a plague of locusts when it comes to food supplies.  PS apologies for pedantry @malumbu but the true definition of "decimate" is to reduce by a tenth... 🫤

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      If anyone is going to the meetings above, you may wish to raise the issue of the impact of the lights, noise & activity on the local bat population. Gala commissioned a survey on bat activity, which stated that activity had been identified, with several species detected, and that action must be taken to minimise any disturbance to these legally protected species. One of the recommendations was "to limit artificial lighting and reduce noise levels starting at least 20 minutes before sunset throughout the event period"  I asked the Events Team three months ago whether this recommendation had been implemented. I finally got an answer yesterday - "This recommendation was not achievable due to the nature of the event... it was concluded that not implementing this recommendation would have little impact"  So there you have it. Commission a survey (box ticked) and then don't adhere to the findings because it's "not achievable", thereby wilfully and knowingly negatively affecting the foraging & commuting habits of a legally protected wildlife species. This is on top of the useless bird survey, which only takes into account activity within the walls of the site, not the surrounding area which is full of trees with nesting birds which are undoubtedly disturbed by a month of noise, lights & activity.

      Really good service. Good bread. And very accommodating when we had to outwit our clever resident fox.

      Stop mega-nursery creating further traffic misery on East Dulwich Grove

      By Dogkennelhillbilly · Posted

      ...and so, 4 years on from the "dramatic planning meeting" that approved the "meganursery", how has it all worked out in reality? The building looks nice from the outside - but I don't know anything more. Did either of the nursery businesses on EDG fail because there was no demand for nursery places in East Dulwich? Did Carmageddon on East Dulwich Grove get worse? Were pre-COVID work patterns abandoned forever (lol)? Were some of the concerns expressed in opposition to the planning application a teensy bit overblown...? https://southwarknews.co.uk/area/southwark/mega-nursery-approved-amid-dramatic-planning-meeting/
