Hi Will


I totally sympathise.. Hoome office still has my passport (since Sept) and apparently it should have been back by now!, we went through a similar thing recently with Mrs Strawbs who needed to go on a holiday and they said 10 working days and it turned up literally on the 10th day..


Depending on where it is coming from it might be worth calling them up and if they havent sent it then getting them to send it to work for you..

thanks strawbs, fortunately for me my employer has asked me to stay at home every day until i start my new job (so as not to take trade secrets etc) so im in & waiting for mr postman... (& watching murder she wrote..)


Furthermore, when i went to the post office yesterday they had shut at 2pm , blaming the weather!! Now, if you can open 9-2, why the hell can you not open 9-5?????????????????? i ask you?grrrr brrrrrrrrr blahh

Wow you are on that fabulous kind of leave where you are supposed to be gardening!! I too am leaving my job but no such luck for me unfortunately!!


Maybe they were trying to be nice to their staff and letting them attempt to get home before it got dark given a few peeps had to walk alot of the way yesterday (me included and Im in canary wharf!!).. But yes I hear your pain so rant away my friend..


So stressful when for any reason your passport is away and I have to say the customer service in this country doesnt fill you with any kind of confidence that matters are all in hand..


Good luck and enjoy Jessica Fletcher!

    • Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car. 
    • One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
    • There's a food bank off Dog Kennel Hill. Albrighton Community Fridge. https://www.albrightoncommunityfridge.org/ I'm sure they would welcome them, but maybe check first, as they don't actually mention fresh fruit on their website? But apples aren't that perishable. Drop off seven days a week 9 - 5. Be warned if you are going by car, parking can be very difficult, easiest if there are two of you so one person can take the food in while the other can move the car if necessary.
    • Food banks for sure and what about approaching these schools in area that run summer camps - although having said that with health and safety being so strict might not allow it - crazy really.    Can’t remember name of church but was one in Peckham that from memory did a community meal a couple of times a week. Now they for sure would take them and probably Kingswood House as well.
