well Mikecg, you could always ask for a transfer to The Aylesbury Estate...

might be more to your liking, much more edgy and 'real'

ta ta from charchar


and night fell and all the forumites were safely tucked up in their beds... such a well behaved lot

mean while there were rumblings on the street, but ED slept on... and on... and on

sleep well angels, dream of a day when the financial turmoil magically cures itself!

dream on.....


it will soon be April the 1st

I want to know what it was supposed to have cracked up to be. And who decided? Is there a committee which sets the cracking up agenda for semi-urban neighbourhoods? And if so do I get to vote for them? How can I be expected to make informed choices, broadly in line with popular socioeconomic prejudices, unless I know how I am represented in the policy and governance structure?


I not only feel unrepresented but somehow cheated and used too.


You?re right, it bites around here. I?m doing one.

Yep easy mistake to make. I guess DDL was expecting Sadr City's marvellous kebab houses, coffee stalls, open markets, open sewers and unfortunately ended up with tat shops and queues for the butcher (as opposed to queues where you're butchered).


Easy mistake to make...doh!!!

I did exactly the same thing, chose it off the tube map as where I wanted to live because of its' name, I very quickly worked out I had lead myself up the garden path and got back on the train!!!

Have lived here for about 17 years. It's always been a nice place to live. There were always a few good pubs, restaurants etc.


There was always an interesting mix of people. There were always nice parks and a local leisure centre. There were always two excellent local libraries. There have always been some good local primary schools and nurseries. There have always been some excellent childminders.


Have never been underwhelmed by Ed.Our two teenagers have grown up here and have has very happy childhoods so far. Husband enjoys local pubs and resturants as I do.


No I've never been underwhemed.

      Post Office Lordship Lane is Broken

      By giggirl · Posted

      I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO.  Every day.  I watch and I watch closely.  Returns take seconds.  The wait might be long but the scan takes a second.  The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds.  I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid.  It just needs a scan.  Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes.  Quicker than M&S.   Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else.  No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning.  That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue.  The branch is not equipped to provide the service.  Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers.  A few stacking shelves.  That's all the space they have.  Everything else is on the floor in a mess.  I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that.   The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce.  If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry.  Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate.  It is Dickensian.   Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below).  I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference.  I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

      Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
