The Royal Mail have axed some postal deliveries in and around the Lordship Lane Estate since Christmas week after a postman was assaulted. Residents can collect post from the delivery office in Silvester Road Mon, Tues, Thurs-Sat 10am-1pm and Weds 10am-8pm.

So I went to the sorting office today and was handed 1 lonely letter dated 6th January 2016.

I wonder where all my other letters are that I'm expecting over the last 2 weeks.

The postman behind the counter looked blankly at me when I asked. He confirmed that that our postman had been assaulted....sad state of affairs.

I picked up my post from Silvester Road during that period, so today's post was sent after Jan 13th.

    • I’m going to stick my Gregory Peck right out and say not the Tories.
    • I think there's a lot in what you say. Although bi election results aren't usually indicative of GE results, I was horrified to see Reform support was so high in what had previously been a Labour stronghold, Labour and Conservative results reflecting the tired old parties they are.  It isn't our generation (sorry @Sue if I'm being presumptuous!) that will decide the outcome of elections but those in their 20s, 30s, 40s ... if they can be bothered to vote. The Greens and Reform now present a real choice instead of two centrist main parties of the last 30 years which has put people off voting. Perhaps locally I will continue to vote Labour, i really couldn't bear for the LibDems to return and we have to consider the demographic of the whole of Southwark. But come the GE I will probably vote Green.  
    • I agree but in the case of McAsh, that would just have left his constituents without a councillor for 3 months until the May elections. MPs switching parties is really galling. If an MP is suspended for law breaking etc., then a recall petition can be issued and, if enough of the constituents support it, a by-election is called. I think the same should apply for defectors. 
    • Interesting discussion point @Moovart, should they wait till the next election or should it trigger an immediate by-election so the post is not left empty ?  Your concept is logical and may have the added effect of swaps, lke the Premier league, only happening in a defined transfer window just before each election.
