Yes, I started a thread in here (which is now in the lost and found section) about a recorded delivery item that's gone missing on Oakhurst (they put the usual card through the door, but when I read it, it said they'd left the item for collection - at the address they were supposed to deliver it to!). That was Wednesday last week. I went to the office on Silvester Road at 9am on Friday, they couldn't account for it and said they'd call when they'd checked with the postman. They didn't, so I went back and queued for ages on Saturday morning to be told the postman wouldn't be back till today... Today I received a call saying he's on a rest day and won't be back in till tomorrow (but at least they did let me know they can't do anything today). I gave them the recorded delivery number, and they've got an illegible signature on their little device, but no record of the number it was actually delivered to. So I am relying on the postman remembering where s/he delivered something almost a week ago... It's a birthday present from my elderly father, who is rather upset that I haven't got it yet.


I suspect that there are a few temporary postmen/women at the moment, to cover the Christmas post.

I did have a small issue with a package not being delivered last week and if the case that there are indeed temporary postmen/women working to cover than I'd admit my location has caused a little confusion for delivery services in the past. This has been put down to the fact that I'm 137-138 Bredinghurst Overhill Road and I believe there's another door with 137 on this road also (?). Nevertheless my package was taken to the post office on Forest hill road and have to say no issues with the service there.

    • I haven't had a rude EVRI delivery but last week I had an unexpected delivery at 10.42 pm. He didn't ring the bell or knock on the door (or rattle the letter flap) but just took a photo and put the box down.  If it hadnt been for the door camera giving us a beep we would never have known there was a parcel ready to sit there all night.  
    • Sorry if I’m being slow but there’s no point in having a gate then is there?  Would have thought it was basic manners to respect someone’s property 
    • I didn't say wedge it "slightly" open. I meant to wedge it fully open. 
    • I have a rescue Spanish greyhound (galgo) from the charity mentioned above. You can contact Greyhounds in Need or one of the more local Kent greyhound rescue charities. They are fantastic family dogs. They do love walkies 2 or 3 times a day but they actually don't need to be walked too far and then they will happily loaf around on the sofa being very chill. They are brilliant with kids but not recommended if you own a cat as they have a strong prey drive. They also should be kept on the lead in local parks. They prefer to be around other sight-hounds (well my one does) and there are loads of local sighthound owners in Peckham, Crystal Palace etc and a very lively WhatsApp group that is brilliant if you need dog sitting as you can usually find someone to do that for free in return for you looking after the dog at a later date etc.
