Approximately 3.30pm. I was running late for work else I'd have been at that bus stop then.

Yes I was just about to go to the bus stop. Going to work. It was cordoned off by the police. Gang shooting. I decided to go straight back home. I live on Marmora Road.. the shooting was at the bus stop directly around the corner from it on New Forest Road.

I'd also link to point out that I'm very happy the post hasn't been privatised.. I'm sure after inevitable and terrible event happens we'll be paying double for a worse service.

Been getting post okay lately, but this week I had to redeliver 3 letters posted to the wrong address (all arrived on the same day.. for the house next door and the one next door to that), and last week I had to redeliver 1 for the house next door.

5 outright mistakes and 3 missing items in the past 8 working days: * A parcel that we arranged for redelivery today has not been redelivered. * A recorded package is marked "Waiting for response from addressee" when we have received no indication at all they have it (only by contacting the sender and getting them to check online are we aware of its status). * 2 items of post for other houses have been misdelivered to us. * 1 item of my post has been delivered to someone else. * My wife's pay slip sent from her London office last week still not arrived. * Two parcels sent last week still not arrived.

My amazon parcel was delivered to a neighbour, who then redelivered it to me. I've redelivered 3 pieces of post now in the last week. Two were on the same road at least, so close. One of my wife's parcels sent last week has totally vanished, along with one of my parcels (both sent first class). One of her recorded items of post is being kept at the delivery office and no card was posted through our door (she discovered it by checking the mail reference the sender gave to her online). This is pathetic! I'd also like to point out we only received any post at all on 2 out of 5 days last week. Sorry and a second edit.. during December the postman left letters outside the front door. As if lifting his hand to the mailbox was too much effort. Make sure you all complain to Royal Mail about this. When I phoned to complain one hour ago I was informed that over 15 houses on my road have complained. I'm hoping that if enough people complain this can be sorted out, individual complaints alone seem to be ineffectual.
