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!

    • I know the couple you mean, and she has always been friendly and smiley when delivering to me, but obviously in a hurry, for all the reasons outlined in the thread. My gate is always open, however (unless someone coming to the house closes it when they leave). I can't see the point of gates that have to be opened and shut again every time someone comes to the house. It just seems a waste of time, and it's annoying if you are carrying stuff. And a closed gate  conveys a sort of "my house is my fortress" feel. To me, anyway.
    • Thanks for posting this. Really interesting. It would be good if you added a star rating, so that it was easier to do comparisons / see what your top recommendations are. Great blog though!
    • Hi, Just a quick note to say it's six months since I launched Eats Dulwich. In that time I've reviewed 28 restaurants. Usually four or five a month except for a month when I came down with gout, which I guess is an occupational hazard. Don't say I don't suffer for my art. Early on someone – Sue, I think – asked me what I'm going to do when I've reviewed every restaurant in East Dulwich. I'm nowhere near that point, but what I have found is that a lot of new openings have tended to be in Rye Lane, so the site has expanded to cover SE15, hence the slight change of name (still haven't had any cease and desist letters from anything with a similar name).  Anyway, the site is still free, it would be great if as many readers as possible here can subscribe so that they automatically get new posts (when you try to subscribe the default might be paid subs but that's down to Substack, just tick the free option instead) as I don't post everything on EDF. Obviously you can get reviews elsewhere if you want, but I think this is the only proper site for local East Dulwich people written by a local East Dulwich person. If you like eating out please have a read. And if there are other places you think I should visit please mention them below and i'll do my best to try them.

    • Can you explain what your point was, then? Because it isn't clear to me. No. Perhaps you could provide a link and explain its relevance? That would be helpful     Those figures suggest that over 10,000,000 voters were not "rejecting a far left party."
