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!

    • Thanks. I'll call them shortly as I could get there without the car. 
    • One time Sainsbury's delivered 6 bags of apples instead of 6 single apples which I couldn't possibly get through. I phoned Pecan in Peckham to ask if they would accept them despite their website stating no fresh foods. I must have phoned at just the right time as they were happy to accept them. Sainsburys gave me a refund so the donation was courtesy of them. Or you could experiment with all kinds of apple recipes and write a blog about it
    • There's a food bank off Dog Kennel Hill. Albrighton Community Fridge. https://www.albrightoncommunityfridge.org/ I'm sure they would welcome them, but maybe check first, as they don't actually mention fresh fruit on their website? But apples aren't that perishable. Drop off seven days a week 9 - 5. Be warned if you are going by car, parking can be very difficult, easiest if there are two of you so one person can take the food in while the other can move the car if necessary.
    • Food banks for sure and what about approaching these schools in area that run summer camps - although having said that with health and safety being so strict might not allow it - crazy really.    Can’t remember name of church but was one in Peckham that from memory did a community meal a couple of times a week. Now they for sure would take them and probably Kingswood House as well.
