I have lost count Curmudg.


This week though someone actually bothered to give me back some of my post that had been misdelivered to them.


I did try having my post stopped at the sorting office, which you might think would be foolproof. But there were days when they were still delivering to the house. It was starting to look as though the one way to get your post delivered, was to ask them to keep it at the sorting office.


Favourite recent moment: finding a recorded delivery parcel stuffed through the door without any attempt to get a signature - not the first time they have either done this, or left a recorded packet/letter with neighbours without getting a signature. Very reassuring particularly when they left one parcel with a family of local criminals; finding a parcel just left on the doorstep.


The chaps in the sorting office at Peckham I have dealt with are obviously trying to keep on top of the mayhem though. They are very helpful. It does seem to be the case that the service goes to hell when they have agency staff filling in. It's the relief postpersons who have been responsible for delivering recorded/registered letters and parcels without bothering to get a signature.

    • Greg came out at last minute notice to address a leak at the flat. He stayed for 90 mins to try and fix it but turned out it was a communal pipe. He was quick to write a report so we could get Southwark onto it. Great plumber, would recommend highly. 
    • My daughter, a single parent, has been let down by her children's' father, who was supposed to have them for part of the school holidays, So we are helping out. Our grand daughter aged 11 is no problem, but 9year old is more difficult to please. Has an interest in computers and coding, does not like crowds (neurodiverse)  Is keen n how things work and enjoys taking things apart. He is already going to the transport museum and has been to the science museum  Husband and I have some mobility problems so nothing too strenuous. have done Horniman's a number of times.  Is there any local holiday schemes where we can enrol him in for 2/3 days. There seems to be a number relating to singing/dancing and drama but nothing science/maths based. He does not have an interest in sport at the moment. Grand children live in Sussex and will be attending Holiday Clubs for a couple of weeks  
    • When I had a dead fox in my garden the council told me to put it in my wheelie bin, the green one.  I warned the dust bin men when they came that it was in there.They said they get worse than foxes put it!  Dead bodies!?  In the heat it might be better to bag it up first. Pam
