Yesterday, Sunday 16th January, my teenage daughter was with her young sister and her friend in Tesco Express in East Dulwich Road near Peckham Rye Common. For some reason her card did not work at the till and she became very embarrassed and distressed (by all accounts, a bit distraught) as she has anxiety issues. An incredibly kind woman (a customer) stepped in and paid for her shopping (and I'm not talking about just a pound or two). She did not leave a name or contact details - just paid. What an incredibly kind thing to do! We want to make contact with her, if possible, and I was wondering whether anyone on this forum is either that person, or knows who this was and if so whether they would be kind enough to message me?


This sort of kindness restores/reinforces your faith in humankind and we are all very touched by it. If this was you - thank you very much indeed and please do get in touch. If you read this and would rather not get in touch, then that's fine, but in that case you can know that your kindness was very much appreciated and made a very big difference!

    • I am sure what the new plan is but who knows how the postal service will work from here onwards 
    • My experience is that my local letter box does have week-day-ly collections - but I think very early in the morning, not at the old 'around 5.00pm' times. There are several daily collections from the box outside the Forest Hill Road sub-post office. I don't think the 'Monday' tab is now ever changed. Mail collections from boxes have got nothing to do with the service we (don't) get from the Peckham Delivery Office. Your Wednesday 12th posting would probably only have been collected on Thursday 13th, if it was posted after 9.00am. If it was being delivered in East Dulwich (where the Peckham DO does come into play) then getting it by the following Tuesday is probably par for the course.
    • Are there no daily collections from post boxes any more? On Wednesday Feb 12 I posted a Valentine's Card in the postbox which is about 20 metres from our house to make sure it arrived by Feb 14 (yes I know I could've put it thru letterbox but that's not as romantic is it). After I posted it I noticed the little metal thingy said "Monday" but I thought this must be a mistake and had not been changed. However, Valentine's Day came and went and no card arrived. In fact it arrived on the following Tuesday, Feb 18 so I'm guessing the Monday collection metal thingy was correct. Has it ever been announced officially that there are no longer daily collections from letterboxes? I remember a time, not even that long ago, when the red postman pat van would pull up at least twice a day, every weekday.    
    • My lovely tuxedo cat, Rexy, has been missing since Wednesday which is very out of character. Rodwell Road area, SE22. He is a rescue cat so really quite timid with people he doesn’t know. If you spot him, could you please contact me? Many thanks. He is chipped and neutered.  Photos attached.
