Has anyone else noticed a real downturn in the accuracy of mail deliveries in ED over the last few days? On Saturday 3 out of 5 letter i received were not for my address. Not just the wrong number of 2 were for different streets. My wife complained yesteday morning at the sorting office and was given a gruff "well we'll see what we can do but we cant promise anything". Yesterday we got 2 more - again for different addresses. This is really worrying because if i am getting someone else's mail who getting mine. My wife logged a complaint on an official post office complaints number. We did this about 8 months ago when we had the same problem and it seemed to make a difference then. If its happened to you please follow up so we can get it sorted.

Yes, I think it's the-half arsed temporary Christmas student staff they get in around this time.


On a seperate note, putting a sticker on the letterbox saying "No Junk Mail please" has done wonders for my quality of life, haven't seen a takeaway pizza leaflet for ages and the recycled paper bag takes twice as long to fill up. Recommended

Mark, I've thought about doing the "no junk mail" sign for ages but to be honest never thought delivery guys in this country would even acknowledge it! Good news that it works.


A few years back a guy in Australia once put a notice on his letter box (in fine print) basically saying that any sender delivering unsolicited mail to his house would be charged a "reading fee" of $20. He would then send out a $20 invoice to every company that ignored his warning and continued to deliver. The astonishing thing is that about 50% of them actually paid up. He made hundreds from it. Amongst the payees was Prime Minister John Howards office, as they put some political message through his mailbox! What a hoot.

Anyone who has complaint about the Mail services in East Dulwich is welcome to write to me as we are going to the High authority to make an official complaint... it all started few months ago with a major incident... and it is all gone worse since..... I'll be happy to hear your view "in private" and will share mine and suggest some steps you can take to complain....

    • I spoke to a sound engineer at Piermont and he mentioned the software they use which tries to absorb the sound into the landscape
    • I think we're probably closest - about 50m from one of the tents - and to be honest it's not that bad. The bass is making the windows vibrate but it's not 'noisy' I've always said the loud music is the least of the issues to me. It's the construction for two weeks before / one week after, the imposing steel wall, the trodden in non-decomposing litter (fag butts, cable ties, vapes, bottle tops, ring pulls) which will cover the entire site forever, the compaction & damage to the grass which takes months to recover, the impact on birds, bats & wildlife of 24/7 lights, the anti social behaviour of so many attendees (p***ing on the streets and in the bushes) and this year the blatant extending of the site footprint, despite previously giving the reason they can't move it is because it's been designed for that location. And hopefully everyone can see this for what it really is - an attempt to win over the local community and set a precedent for four festival days, so that they have a stronger argument when they put in an application for six days again next year.  Southwark state that the money from Gala goes directly to supporting their Events dept, who support "up to 100 free events every year". So what are these free events, and why do we need another? 
    • Found now. All safe.   Found now!
    • We are on Friern Road and can not  hear Gala tonight, each year it depends on direction of wind, but we can hear Kneecap who are playing in Brockwell tonight....
