strawbs - good idea, I was thinking myself about asking about self-collection. Its a real pain as I'm expecting some stuff that was sent last week, before the snow. Should have arrived Saturday, and I'm used to things drifting to Monday, but unfortunately it now means its been delayed almost a week.


Just seen a postie on FH road and asked the question - he said "Absolutely - just take some ID and proof of address"

ladywotlunches - I'm with you on the laxness of Saturday deliveries. I quite often get Amazon 'next-day' Royal Mail things despatched on a Friday. If I send them to work (SW3) or a friend (as a gift), they show up Saturday as expected. If I send them to home, no chance. They show up on Monday as a 'pick up from the sorting office' card. Most frustrating! Of course, if I get organised enough to get them despatched on a Thursday, they show up on the Friday and I still end up with the trip to the sorting office on the Saturday morning.
No post on our section of East Dulwich Road this week yet, very frustatrating.....I'm expecting a couple of overdue parcels/post including some registered delivery - I even stopped by the sorting office this morning, came out empty handed but with my hopes raised that there might be something delivered today as I was told they are concentrating on letters and registered delivery today and parcels will go out tomorrow when they expect more people to be in.... still nothing arrived tho!

    • Missing Cat! 11 months old/ Our friend, Coco, has gone missing. Last seen evening of 31st October near top of Henslowe rd where it meets Underhill Rd in SE22. We know she has started wandering up Friern Rd and further we guess but we imagine she has been spooked by Halloween / Fireworks goings on. She is a grey Siberian mix with some brown stripes down her, very friendly and likes to eat. Please let us know
    • That said, organised displays could be on Saturday before and after and the actual day, and private ones could just not have the loud ones.  It’s all down to accessibility and people caring/not caring
    • The problem this year is that 5th November falls on a Wednesday. So some places will be bringing their "bonfire night" forward to Saturday 1st and some will be knocking it back to Saturday 8th and there'll probably be a few that just go with Wednesday 5th anyway. If you're doing a public display, having it on a weekend gets more crowds. Which basically means a solid week of fireworks.
    • Fireworks in this area do feel totally incessant at this time of year, almost every evening there is terrible noise. I feel great concern for wildlife, pets (I have a senior cat who hates them), as well as people who struggle with PTSD etc. Last year I even had people setting them off in front of my home. Tonight and yesterday evening have been particularly bad. Is there anything we can do as a community to prevent this? What action can we take? Surely we shouldn’t be expected to just put up with it every year for weeks on end!
