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 for that. Maybe forthcoming elections have stymied the 7 day request? If Labour get back in, do we think GALA will try with greater success in 2027?
    • Better late than never, same obscure reason as previously for not going ahead with the extended plan... "Due to commercial reasons, the event organisers have withdrawn their application to hold a 7- day event over two weekends. The application has been revised to request the use of Peckham Rye Park to hold a 4-day event over one bank holiday weekend with the following schedule: • Onsite: Monday 11 May 2026 • GALA: Friday 22 – Sunday 24 May • On the Rye Festival: BH Monday 25 May • Off-site Sunday 31 May 2026 This is the same event programme that was delivered in 2025."  GALA 2026 consultation findings report 1519.pdf
    • Do great pizzas there at community cafe.. lots going on — was free parking but plans  to like everywhere get folk to pay.  Nice area… only discovered it a few years ago..   
    • Oh ok, I've looked at it again and I agree I misread it.  You are right. I hadn't realised there were two separate parks. I just looked on a map. I have only been to the smaller one, with the pond.
