I've received 3 emails today, all said to be from the leader of Southwark council. The first two were identical, headed "Seasons Greetings from the Leader of Southwark Council" wishing 'me' - i.e. just a general greeting to residents, I assume - a Happy Christmas & New Year and exhorting me to shop local. 

The third one was "Dyer, Lovern would like to recall the message, "Seasons Grettings from the Leader of Southwark Council".

Nothing since - no explanation.          It's a first for me - to be wished a Happy Christmas and then the greeting is taken back, but I won't take it personally!

Presumably they recalled it because of the typo, but didn't do it properly, so the recall email  went out to everyone but the email they intended to recall didn't get recalled?

I haven't had any of them - I won't take that personally, either 🤣

Recalling email is a "Microsoft outlook-ism" that isn't supported by all internet email programs.   

"Dyer, Lovern" is presumably a secretary or comms/digital person allowed to write on leaders behalf. Either they peaked too soon, or there was a typo.

    • Wouldn't it make more sense to ask the guy who posted the rumours for the source of the information? The Crown & Greyhound refurb was a big job - not surprising that it took longer than just a simple repainting. But renovating the Grove would be even bigger because it's totally wrecked, and there's a shortage of skilled labour and much more expensive materials now...
    • Rather bizarrely, I received a text from TJ surgery offering this service. To be clear, no data was asked for in the text so I don't suspect a scam but surely this is dodgy? Where does my DNA info end up and who would have access? I'm going to the surgery on the invite date to ask precisely this.
    • I used Emmaus https://emmaus.org.uk/slc/ to clear my grandfathers house last year. They were great. They all charge for this service so will come and give you a quote first.  
    • Hi, does anyone know of any charities or companies that can come and clear your house to be donated for a good cause? I know the British heart foundation does but wondering if there are others? We are moving overseas and hoping to donate most of our belongings in one swoop if we can! Thanks.
