I can see it's being "renovated" I was just curious as to why, after turning a very nice house into a heap of rubble, it's just being left like that

The one near the corner of Archdale that's had builders in for months seems to be turning into a tip. materials and now rubbish piled in the road taking up parking spaces and no work being done, it seems. Anyone know what's going on?

I noticed a pigeon wearing a ring on its leg amongst those foraging in Sainsbury's park. Does that mean it was a racing pigeon?

I'd like to know if people think it's worth changing to the Tessa Jowell centre?

Having spent 45 minutes waiting for the phone to be answered (when I could have walked there to make an appointment in 5) yesterday at the DMC, I'm not surprised

I told a passing postman that we'd had Christmas cards this week. "Already?" he said "No, not "already," I replied.

Unfortunately, Alec1, your theory doesn't hold water. All my life nearly all post has arrived on time, in spite of the distances involved. So why is it such rubbish now?

Throw in dreadful GP and dental services and you've got the full set, Brideshead

Thanks, Loki286. Fascinating and dispiriting If you could send your post on to people such as Helen Hayes or anyone you think might listen - the Times and the BBC for London seem to be investigating at the moment, without endangering your job, it might be of some help to you and your colleagues (and us consumers) There again....

Article about TM in today's Times, with SE22 singled out for mention. All due to Covid, of course. Not closure of the sorting office, non-employment of Christmas casuals etc. Now waiting for birthday cards. (along with Christmas cards, of course)

Most of my cards weren't franked either.

Article on this lunchtime news. Actually mentioned ED and Peckham. No mention by RM of closure of Sylvester Rd, of oourse.

Frank Lampard has just got away an (alleged)traffic offence, thanks to clever lawyers.

If everyone who'd posted a card which had been delivered after Christmas asked for compensation, it would be a big blow to RM.'s budget

Can't beat the November date, but did get three cards today

They are installing a new camera at Grove Vale crossing this morning. Don't know for sure, but possibly ULEZ

What E2 was told doesn't sound like the official information BicBasher was given

So that's all right then! I'm sure the lost hospital appointments, legal papers, bank documents and so on were just an inconvenience.

5 cards this morning

Just been watching two foxes sunning themselves on top of the glass roof to a kitchen extension in Crawthew Rd. I don't know if the owners knew, A particularly fine dog fox that I've seen around a lot lately

Feature about it on the news tonight, though mainly focusing on Crystal palace which is having the same problems. Load of flannel in reply from Royal Mail

Still waiting for deliveries. None this week

Apparently Highshore Rd is on emergency status and has been since mid December. Doesn't seem to have helped.

I know of one parcel sent to Germany which has been returned to the sender. They filled in all the forms at the PO who said this they were correct, so they can't understand what's gone wrong. By the sound of these previous accounts someone is just sticking "Can't deliver" signs on parcels without even trying to deliver. I'm sure Echo and the Bunnymen would be as much use as anyone at Royal Mail. I thought of Father Christmas since he's good at delivering parcels

3 cars today! One had only taken 4 weeks to get from Nottingham
