Poor postal service

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.

      Looking to buy or adopt a dog

      By LondonFermentation · Posted

      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.

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      By ak0910 · Posted

      @Jenijenjen I assure you we are always polite and friendly too! Which is why the behaviour we have been receiving is so frustrating. The kids always leave her with a “Thank you have a lovely day”  Our concern is leaving the gate slightly wedged doesn’t stop the action of slamming it open and closed…still leading to damage

      Rude Evri delivery in SE22

      If you're talking about who I think you are, I find them more exuberant than rude and usually smiling and polite. But then, I'm usually smiling and polite to them. Can you not wedge open your gate when you're expecting them?

      Cllr Williams to stand down

      By Dulwich dweller · Posted

      It worked. Corbyn did similar although not to the same degree. Momentum had a purge too when Corbyn got in. All his political life he opposed the EU but when it came to the crunch he publicly backed them during the referendum. I believe that was to appease the middle classes that he was appealing to. He messed up big time when wooing the middle classes at Glastonbury whilst ignoring his core working class voters up north. They also happened to be leave voters. He got starstruck and forgot about his politics. Corbynmania was thing, a movement but it was also the making of his downfall. For the many and not the few came back and slapped him right in the face.
