Thanks for the update TFL "BELLENDEN ROAD: ROUTE P13 is diverted in both directions due to roadworks. Buses are not serving stops between Bleinheim Grove and Pytchley Road. UNDERHILL ROAD: ROUTE P13 is diverted in both directions due to damaged manhole cover. Buses are not serving the Crystal Palace Road and Whateley Road stops."

Agree postage spiralled under the last Govt, but because of thieving Reeves budget to increase Employer NI contributions that is the direct cause right NOW for Royal Mail to look at increasing postal rates. You may not like the "bashing" the three stooges is getting, but they couldn't have made a worse start in the first 120 days in Office. The continual reference by Starmer to "my dad was a tool maker" - no he wasn't, it was his business and then of course that wonderous line about "in my last job as the Director of Public Prosecutions", actually who cares, he is supposed to be the Prime Minister. Stop the constant references and get on with the job. What we have here right now is inflation rising, unemployment rising, cost of living still rising, energy prices rising when they said they would reduce them. A 22bn black hole pat caused by a wage increase for the public sector that makes up about half of that. A Chancellor not qualified to as an economist, the lies just keep on coming, how many times do they get to trip themselves up? When you are in Govt, be prepared for scrutiny, that is what this is all about. The people need to rise up and throw them out of Office.

Robber Reeves strikes AGAIN. "Royal Mail threatens to hike stamp prices again in more misery for UK households" Royal Mail has warned it will have to raise prices after taking a £120m hit from Rachel Reeves’s Budget tax raid. Royal Mail warns of price rises after £120m hit from Reeves’s tax raid

Can this thread be renamed "Finding Dulwich" or "Where's Dulwich" or "Depends where you're coming from?"

And the latest shocker, Inflation this morning was 2.3% up from 1.7& the previous month, a 0.6% increase in a month, that is dreadful. So Robber Reeves plan is already working (NOT). Inflation has begun to increase and will continue to do so, I predict the next set of unemployment figures will show a rise. Neither of these things can be blamed on the last Govt, it's down to the inept budget and impact it is having already.

"some people just really really don’t like having a Labour government" For heavens sake just look at the utter mess they have made in the first four months in office, suggest you re-read Rockets post which sums up everything wrong with Starmagedons approach to running and making decisions in Govt. But you'll just shrug it off as you have already done saying Corbyn and the three stooges of Starmer, Rayner and Reeves are your saviour. Look at the detrimental effect its had on UK plc. Almost wants to make me pack up and leave the UK.

What is wrong in getting "something for nowt", that's what inheritance in 96% of cases is. IHT is a death tax, taking 40% from those that inherited from their partner, parents, family etc. . You live in a world blinkered by your Lefty views, No doubt you were a cheer leader for Corbin as well, oh how sad.

America don't care, Biden has done this to create Trump with a major problem. And its four months since the Stooge party took office, they'll blame everything on Lammy who told Trump what he thought of him, we're on our own on this one. And would Putin strike London? Take out the Bridges from London Bridge to Vauxhall Bridge, job done, London split in two, it would be utter disruption on a grand scale and utter, utter chaos with no immediate recovery.

You don't half spout some nonsense. It's not a tax dodge. They inherited it, do you grasp the concept of what that means? And yes, I agree you are a labour or should that be liebour cheer leader. So when you inherit a property or business of some wealth, you'll happily give HMRC 40% of what its worth above the threshold, Why should ANYONE have to pay inheritance tax when the original owner has already paid tax on it. Inheritance tax is a death tax, it's taxing the dead for their estate, a wholly and utterly wrong Law. When their is no food in the shops, you're view will change.

So its OK for Starmer to earn £74K/annum by renting out a property, cat calling the kettle black....... Their gravy train trundles on. When the Southport story that involves Starmer finally comes out, he's going to be gone, plus that and the local elections in May 2025 when Liebour will get a drumming. Even his own MP's have had enough of the mess they've made of things in the first three months of being in power. They had fourteen years to plan for this, what a mess they've created so quickly, couldn't plan there way out of a paper bag. Suggest you do the sums, the minimum wage won't be so minimum when it is introduced, that and the increase in employers national insurance contributions is why so many employers are talking about reducing their cohort of employees and closing shops and businesses. Businesses don't run at a loss and when they do they close, its the only option for them, you can only absorb a loss for so long before brining the shutters down and closing the doors. Some people are so blinkered they think the sun shines out of the three stooges, you need to wake up soon. Because wait till there are food shortages, no bread or fresh vegetables, nor meat in the shops, bare shelves in the supermarkets because the farmers will make it happen, plus prices spiralling out of control as a result of a supply and demand market. Every ones going to get on the gravy train and put their prices up, It happened before during lockdown, nothing to stop it happening again. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Then you'll see people getting angry and an uprising start to happen. Hungry people become angry people very quickly.

They plan to close the Mount Pleasant Office, absolute and utter madnesss

We are sadly saddled with the three stooges till July 2029 because they have such a far reaching majority, that is the problem when you give a party that level of support. The ship was being turned around by the last Administration and given all their faults, errors, misdemeanours its not surprising that that got and probably deservedly so out of Office. But if what has just happened over the past 100+ days since the new Administration took power, we are in for a very bumpy ride and peoples lives will ALL be affected. They say they champion the poor, well all they've done so far by taking away the winter fuel allowance (not eligible for it) and increasing employers national insurance, as sure as eggs is eggs, prices will increase and that hits everyone in the pocket, including the poorest in society. You can only shake the money tree so often, after which time it's Empty. What that means is the cost of providing benefits increases, where does the money then come from. To then take on the farmers who feed part of the economy is utter madness, because if they blockade food supplies then people will go hungry, not necessarily starve. You don't shoot the hand that feeds you. Their is enough written about the three stooges, Starmer, Reeves and Rayner, I have no idea if they are supposed "communists", but what I have seen is that free speech is being eroded, that can never be good for a democracy, where people are scared to speak out. How does all this change, the people will eventually have had enough and rise up against the Govt. It has to happen eventually. Even is Starmer went you are left with Reeves and Rayner. Personally O don't trust either, it will be more of "do as I say, not as I do".

The problem is Starmer can't shut up about his dad being a tool maker, they made Keir, a right prize tool. Reeves continually blames the previous Govt, but correct me if I'm wrong but inflation was decreasing, unemployment was stagnant, with decreases and the occasional increase, things were beginning to stabalise overall. Then we had the election 4 July when Starmer and co swept to power, three months on things are worse than they were before, yet Reeves continues to blame the former Govt. The national debt doubled overnight with public sectors all getting a wage increase and now the budget that penalises business with the increase in Employers national insurance. The result of which will be increased prices in the shops, increased inflation, increased numbers of redundancies, increased unemployment and increased pressures on the DWP to fund this Future growth will go backwards and become negative, farmers will no longer farm in protest against the Govt, more people will become poorer and unable to pay their bills, things will spiral out of control and we'll have a repeat of the General Strike until this bunch of inept politicians resign and Kemi and co prevent the ship from hitting the iceberg and sinking.

I was attempting to provide alternatives. And yes Krystals is much smaller but it does provide some PO counter services

Last year in Lewisham, it was 4.99 plus the Mayors add on that took it to about 11+%
