There are fake parcel deliveries in the news, phone contracts especially are the main target. Please do not accept a package and sign for it if you are not expecting anything. Phones are delivered, then picked up again, but by that time it?s too late because you have signed for the package. Read on BBC news.

If that was the case he wouldn?t be saying here ?taken in? a parcel for the OP.

The phone scam happened to my work mate, they had a new 02 phone delivered in their name, then a man claiming to be a courier knocked and said it had been delivered by mistake ( how that could be if their name and address was on the package) .. my friends husband denied they had a package much ti the guys confusion and took it back to an 02 shop.

Not sure what is going on here with this one though... I'd say a cack handed attempt to see who lived there, creepy.

Just quoting the above so that it's at the end of the thread rather than the beginning.


But also wondering what the explanation was???

Good guesses but not so exciting. The guy found the parcel/empty box in the gutter outside his house. He worried that it had fallen from delivery van whereas in fact it must have fallen from bin lorry. So the man kindly delivered it back to my house, he just didn't hang around to explain fully. I jumped to a negative explanation when I couldn't understand how my recycled box had been redelivered.

    • And no queues at 1130 yesterday. Maybe everyone's had enough and switched to the Yodel and Evri app.
    • Hi there guys, I hope you're well.  I've recently done a term of Dance Yourself Fit, which began with a class at the Harris Girls Academy on the Nunhead side of the Rye, then transferred to the Charter School for Girls up by the old ED hospital. It's been so good and all the women attending have loved it too, but due to exams being on next term the classes are being discontinued in East Dulwich, much to our disappointment. They're moving them to Streatham, but that is not convenient for me and many of the others. This is a link to their site in case anyone is interested though: https://www.danceyourselffit.com I'm now looking for a replacement class that's not too expensive, keeps me moving energetically for an hour and is local and hopefully less than a tenner per lesson (this was about £72 for 8 classes I think?). Does anyone know of anything? I'm also looking for low-cost pilates classes to join too, if anyone has any recommendations for those too? Very best,  Eleanor  Also, just to add, what's been so nice is that it HASN'T been in a gym with lots of lively young lithe gazelle like creatures hopping about. It's been extremely inclusive for women of all sizes and shapes and really nice that it's been in schools not gyms. Anyway, keeping my fingers crossed!
    • I'd also like to highly recommend Niko. He just replaced the extraction fan in our bathroom, having previously installed a new tap for us. Fast, professional and a really great guy. 
    • Agree with this. He's stood down from his role in Cabinet having left the Party, but he was elected as a representative of all the constituents in his ward and logic suggests that he should continue to represent them as a councillor for his remaining 3 months. He might wish to stand again, as a Green, in that ward (if he's chosen) and hope that personal loyalty to him might transfer, but that's now the call of his (new) party and him. He will have to balance that with a view about how many of his Labour supporters will feel sufficiently betrayed to continue to support Labour. I suspect, I may be wrong, that he will not have a cabinet position open to him after May (unless the Greens sweep in locally) so presumably he will have to consider his next career move, and whether that's back to full-time primary teaching.
