Hi, I left something at home that desperately needs to be posted today (otherwise the postage I printed out will be invalid and a waste of money).


Does anyone know of a post box in East Dulwich that does a last collection from 5:45-6:30??? If you could let me know what time it is and where then I can get there as soon as I get home!


Thanks!!

My memory is that it changed to 5.30. Could be wrong, but I think it would be useful to have a positive confirmation of any later time. Best hope in SE22 imo would be to check whether any 5.30 collection has actually taken place. They can be late, by even 15+ minutes, sometimes.

Which, on googling for "SW8 last collection", also turns up in this resource at SW8 5 http://www.dracos.co.uk/play/locating-postboxes/?pc1=SW8


I see it also lists several late ones in SE1.

    • They'd been there for days but I hadn't tied them to this thread. Nice work, it was bugging me!
    • Off topic, but when I was a kid in Streatham, long ago, apart from the milkman (rarely if ever milkwoman),  who also delivered yoghurt - very exotic - in little glass jars, we also had regular deliveries of coal, bread and cheesecakes (not the kind we know now, they had coconut on top), fruit and veg,  and paraffin (both pink and blue). I'm not entirely sure we have lost "something amazing" by buying milk in shops. The glass bottles were left on the doorstep and the metallic tops were pecked through by birds getting at the cream/milk. Or else the bottles were nicked.  And then there was the rag and bone man.... bell and horse and cart, just like Steptoe. God I'm old. We didn't have supermarket deliveries. We didn't have supermarkets. I remember the first supermarket opening in Streatham. It  was quite amazing having to walk round and  put your own shopping in a basket. As you were ..... Sorry OP and admin.
    • Yep, I hear you. Been waiting for modern milkman to these parts and plan to try them out. I still remember Dennis, our Egg-man, from my childhood, who used to deliver dozens in his Citroen 2C and came to collect the boxes the following week. Happy Days. 
    • I always feel we lost something amazing when we moved away from home milk delivery with glass bottles using electric floats to driving to supermarkets and buying milk in plastic bottles. Hindsight says we should have valued the good old milky more
