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

Oh FFS - is that for real?!

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.

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.

    • What was he doing on the stage at Glastonbury? Or on the stage at the other concert in Finsbury Park? Grinning like a Cheshire cat whilst pissed and stoned 20 somethings on the promise of free internet sung-- Oh Jeremy Corbyn---  What were his policies for Northern mining towns with no jobs or infrastructure? Free Internet and university places for youngsters. What were his other manifesto pledges? Why all the ambiguity over Brexit?  I didn't like Thatcher, Blair or May or Tony but I respected them as politicians because they stood by what they believed in. I respect all politicians across the board that stick to their principles. Corbyn didn't and its why he got  annihilated at the polls. A socialist, anti imperialist and anti capitalist that said he voted for an imperialist and pro capitalist cabal. He refused to say how he'd vote over and over again until the last knockings. He did so to appease the Islington elite and middle class students he was courting. The same people that were screaming that Brexit was racist. At the same time the EU were holding black and Asian immigrants in refugee camps overseas but not a word on that! Corbyn created and courted a student union protest movement that screamed at and shouted down anyone not on the left . They claimed Starmer and the centre right of labour were tories. He didn't get elected  because he, his movement and policies were unelectable, twice. He turned out not to have the convictions of his politics and died on his own sword.    Reform won't win an election. All the idiots that voted for them to keep out Labour actually enabled Labour. They'll be back voting tory next time.    Farage wouldn't be able to make his millions if he was in power. He's a very devious shyster but I very much doubt he'd actually want the responsibility that governance requires.
    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
