Hi, if you read this or know this person would you contact me via PM. I've had two letters misdelivered to me without a return address (without opening them obviously). They seem to be from the same source and I can see one relates to an appointment (window envelope)for you. Hope to be able to find a home for these soon.

I did this once, with letters that repeatedly arrived from what turned out to be a debt collection agency. They weren't particularly thankful and made it very clear that opening someone else's letters is illegal. I've never looked into it or discovered what the fine or punishment would be, but you can also just write "return to sender" on the front, pop it in the postbox and let Royal Mail do the rest.

That's what I'd do, illegal or not.


I'd be extremely grateful to have somebody open a letter to me which had been wrongly addressed and gone elsewhere if it had some time-critical health or financial implication, and it's very easy for somebody copying stuff into a computer in an office to get a house number wrong. Or even the whole address .....


If it looks like an appointment, sounds like it could be time-critical, even if not urgent.

Surely if the source has the wrong address, returning it back to them, or opening the letter serves no purpose as they don't have the correct address.


I think AM has done the most sensible thing by posting on here.


Hopefully somebody will recognise the name & it will reach it's rightful owner more quickly.

Well they may well have the correct address, just some low-paid minion has copied the address wrongly when sending the letter ......

Yes and I did check it but I don't seem to be able to send her a message.I think she has 1 connection so possibly not a big user. From what I can read the appointment is personal and perhaps not something I should publicly state.

It's an unusual name.


Googling it brings up (apart from the Linked In link) an Elisa Onuoha living in SE6, with a link to her full address.


OK it may be a completely different person, but she could either have moved from that address or moved to that address, so worth investigating?


It's on 192.com and from quite old electoral records, but if you still don't want to open the letter/s and you still want to contact her, it's probably your only hope (unless the council might help?)

    • Hi if anyone has one pm me cheers 
    • You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.
    • I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?
    • Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
