I used to live in Ladywell. I was back over there this afternoon to sit around drinking coffee in the locale's only coffee shop. A local acquaintance then came bounding in, breathless, to announce that there had been a shooting by Ladywell station. Police were "swarming" and roads were closed. He was extremely, extremely excited and looked livelier than I'd seen him in years. So I presume it wasn't actually him that got shot. He was so worked up and excited that he was unable to explain to me precisely what had happened and whether it was a murder. Aren't shootings a regular occurence in south-east London?

Oh dear Dreads...I'm afraid that's only the tip of a very murky iceberg.


Last week a butcher was raided on Rye lane and Police discovered a Leper colony under the floorboards.


Target Arms on Lordship lane has been investigated after claims that it has been run by a former Serbian warlord who's wanted for questioning by the Hague.


101 Dalmations were found dead and had been skinned. Police have failed so far in their efforts to bring a local PR mogal who alledgedly lives on Alleyns road to justice following claims that half the MET are in her handbag.


There was a ferocious gun battle at the JAGS sports club after a member of staff rolled her eye's one too many times.







Oh and some geezer wearing an out of the ordinary track suit was seen walking with a suspicious limp and whistling a tune that may or may not have been a code to bypass burglar alarms.

Has anyone ever been inside target Arms??? Seriously, how have they stayed afloat during the credit crunch???

They're regular LGWD but not yet frequent enough for us to become consumed with ennui and take to our fainting couches, all the while dispatching the help for supplies of laudanum as a diversion.

I for one have not done that several weeks.

And I'm sure I'm not alone.

    • Hello. Would you like a sofa bed? We have one to give away…photos attached. The scatter cushions are not included.
    • Complaint submitted.  Your helpful link took me straight to the relevant page. 🙏
    • 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.
