yes i looked inside to find further information as to who i could forward it on to..... unfortunately there was nothing informative in there...


it not a problem if no-one on the forum knows anything about the said persons.... i shall forward it back to the post office!

Poor OP! All they're trying to do get the mail back to them. I know it's not strickly 'legal' but she's trying to do them a favour.

I am also 'guilty' of opening mail not addressed to me. In my case, the letter was offering a student a place on a course. I visited all my neighbours in the nearest vicinity and asked them if they were the person it was addressed to with no luck. I then sent the letter back to the university letting them know that the address was wrong. I hope I didn't do the wrong thing but I felt that ignoring it would have been worse.

Somebody opened a card and letter I had sent (not addressed to them), and phoned me to tell me a friend had died.


The person who opened the card was the new owner of my friend's house.


Although obviously I was sad to get the news, I was grateful to the person for opening the card and then taking the trouble to phone me.

you could always returrn it to the sender's bank?

Postal Services Act 2000, section 84(3) - "A person commits an offence if, intending to act to a person?s detriment and without reasonable excuse, he opens a postal packet which he knows or reasonably suspects has been incorrectly delivered to him."


Whereas the people here who've opened mail sent to an unknown person at their address seem to have had no intention to act to the addressee's detriment, and to have had a very reasonable excuse.

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
