Millions of Londoners have not had any post for the past three days.


Royal Mail has banned postmen from driving or walking down roads that have not been gritted, unions said.


A spokeswoman for the Communications Workers' Union said that on Monday there had been no deliveries in large parts of London and the whole of Surrey, Essex and Kent. A union spokeswoman said: "There's a safety first approach and we think that is quite right too."


Yesterday Royal Mail sent out staff to deliver in roads that had been gritted and more were sent out today. But there are still thousands of streets deemed too dangerous. Postmen have been redeployed to sorting.


A Royal Mail spokesman said: "We are sorry for the inconvenience this has caused. We're doing all we can to continue to provide services and where we are still encountering problems, we are working to restore normal service as soon as possible."

Hi Will, badminton has started slow this year due to centres being busy, illness and peoples diaries not matching, we had to cancel tonight. A few of us are organising the next round though, you are welcome to join us again.


Thanks for the advice on passport, i didn't realise royal mail/ jelly in ED would only take about 2 weeks to get it back.


Thanks for that.

My post comes from the Forest Hill Office and we got post today although no idea what time. Given what's been mentioned above about posties not wanting to walk down icy pavements, I was surprised since our pavement is like an icerink.

take it from me i was talking to our postie royal mail do not want them to deliver but the guys in se22 took it upon themselves to get out and deliver where they felt they could because they were becoming concerned of the build up of work that they would have to deliver when things thawed out , hard to believe i know but i know my postie well and i dont think he would lie

I've just received post for the 3rd day running. The postman rang the bell as there were a couple of parcels, he's our regular postie and always says a cheery hello if I pass him on the street when out and about during the day. I sympathised with him negotiating his way along our street in the ice and said it was much appreciated that our post was getting through. He thanked me, before going on to say that he wished everyone was as appreciative, as he's been subjected to people moaning at him today because their post is slightly later than usual!


So here's a big thanks to our lovely postie, doing a great job as always! (tu) I don't know his name, but he does Upland Road, near Goodrich.

I used to have a great postie, he would come out in rain and shine, but the present chap who delivers my mail is a waste of time. He spends most of the mornin at the end of the street lighting up a cigarette, and when he can be bothered to actually do the job he's paid for, he often losses letters or posts them in the wrong door. Waste of space. I bet he is the type who would ring up work and not go in because of a bit of snopw on the pavement. Loser.

Louisa, that's a shame. We've been lucky where we are - had a regular postie who retired (he was brilliant), followed by a few weeks with various temps who were hopeless (seemed to adopt a time saving method which involved dropping all my neighbours mail through my door so that I had to deliver it!). But we've had our new regular postie for a few months now and he is excellent.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
