it's the count which is big not the butterflies https://www.bigbutterflycount.org/ although one can but hope. The ride starts and finishes in Peckham Square (Peckham Library, Peckham Pulse Leisure Centre, SE15 5JR). Does Southwark have butterflies? It does, mostly in the parks and that's where this bike ride goes to look for them. Everyone welcome, especially juvenile lepidopterists who can count.

It's the usual easy-paced ride two-hour ride on mostly quiet streets and paths. The first stop will be in Peckham Rye Park, then across to Ruskin Park via the Greenway. Then Elam Street Open Space, Myatts Field, Kennington Park, Walworth Garden Farm and Burgess Park. There's more information about the count on their website (see first line)and the route map is here:

These rides are organised and run by Bruce Lynn and friends on behalf of Southwark Cyclists which is the borough branch of the London Cycling Campaign.

  I spend a riddiculous amount of time at the PO. Every day. I watch and I watch closely. Returns take seconds. The wait might be long but the scan takes a second. The only thing that slows down a return is people scrolling through their phones looking for QR codes. Business customers like me take seconds. I might have up to 2 bags of boxes but every one is perfectly packaged and pre-paid. It just needs a scan. Seconds. For customers like me and for returns customers they could just put in a self-service check out and we would all be in and out in minutes. Quicker than M&S. Or, have a dedicated window for scanning and nothing else. No facility to handle money at that window so nobody is tempted to ask for a service other than scanning. That would get the queues down instantly. It is the people picking up things that backs up the queue. The branch is not equipped to provide the service. Next time you're in the branch take a look at the shelf space immediately behind the servers. A few stacking shelves. That's all the space they have. Everything else is on the floor in a mess. I take on board what someone said about the private delivery companies not delivering to Peckham and I didn't know that. The biggest time wasting service of all is Parcelforce. If someone in front of me asks for Parcelforce I want to cry. Long, long, forms need to be filled out by hand, in triplicate. It is Dickensian. Please consider taking a few minutes to fill out an online complaint (link below). I honestly believe that an influx of complaints might make a difference. I don't want to demoralise the staff or anything sinister but the PO needs to see that the branch is broken. https://www.postoffice.co.uk/contact-us/in-branch-customer-experience

  Couldn't agree more with the frustration. I avoid it like the plague but made the mistake of picking up a parcel a couple of months ago and it took them 20 minutes to find it. This was after queuing for an hour. All the pickup parcels were just in a massive heap with no order or organisation so they manually had to search for everything. Bizarre and deeply annoying as if run well it could be a good asset to the Post Office and of course the community. Also, very much agree with the point re not taking it out on counter staff as it must be a terrible and demoralising environment to work in.
