I think they have changed their rounds and roundsmen (again!). Certainly as regards those coming from Sylvster Road. It will settle down soon, I hope. The people who staff Sylvester Road I have always found to be very helpful when asking about missing post.

Just received a first class letter that's taken 6 days to get here.


I mentioned it to the staff in Sylvester Rd when collecting a parcel, and their reply was "It's because it's changed from Nine elms to Croyden. They're no use at Croyden"


Well, this may well be the correct reason, but it strikes me as a very unsatisfying one. Is there anyone from "Croyden" out there to reply?

Thanks for replies and for advice. Our mail is still missing will give it a few more days before we check with folk at Sylvester rd.

Last week I did not see a postman/woman for three days.


They used to come down my road 9.30. then 10.30


Mail now comes around about 13.30 - 14.00


Different people all the time.


Been hit and miss ever since our regular postman (was his name Colin)? retired.

I suspect that delivery to adjacent doors / streets is a large part of the problem, as this has been happening to us (Landcroft Road) on and off for the past few years. I religiously re-deliver, usually one or two doors either side, but sometimes to the same house number in an entirely different street.


Problem is, how many other folks re-deliver? Seriously, I can imagine plenty of mail hitting the doormat of people who won't do that. I've known past neighbours just bin it, which is a disgrace. Perhaps delivery accuracy, and whose doormat it hits, are a part of the problem here.


I second what "The Minkey" says too. Anything not reported to Sylvester Road isn't helping the situation. If they're inundated with accounts of lost / delayed mail, it will soon improve!

    • This new party might do nothing more than serve Reform victory in the next election - there is no mood for a far-left party (as 2019 aptly demonstrated) and taking votes from Labour could be a nightmare for the whole country. But Corbyn has only cared about himself and his ideology - once a backbencher, always a backbencher.
    • The fragrant Nancy Birtwhistle advises this spray on site of urine/faeces to deter canines: 200ml water 50ml vinegar 30 drops peppermint extract or oil Put in spray bottle, use daily for a week.
    • Reading this sort of stuff - it's tiring. It's a weird focus on marginal English politics instead of the mainstream and instead of UK politics. How do you use 4 ex-Labour MPs getting elected an example of a supposed trend but ignore the election of 411 Labour MPs in the same election? How do you waffle on for several hundred words about the prospects of new left parties without mentioning what's been happening in this area for the last 20 years in Scotland and Wales?
    • This new movement seems great.  great ideas. But they’re just an opposition party they’re like a subsection of the Labour Party - so perfectly suited to Corbyn - his inspirational rhetoric can only be uttered in opposition.  Power would not suit him - that would require hard decisions that’s not his style, strength or skill
