Just thought I would bump this thread.

As we are entering their most busy period,

also to say that visited Sylvester Rd at 07.15 this morning (open from 06.30 till Christmas!) & was met with a cheery welcome & very swift service.

Staff welcomed the extended hours & the Overtime that ensues.

I have been receiving all my packages lately, albeit one or two days late sometimes. I did have problems with two items that I posted in the Goodrich Road mailbox (near the school) three weeks ago - neither has reached its destination yet.

I have ordered a lot of stuff from Amazon and other online sites in the last few weeks, and it has all arrived very quickly and been delivered by the postie with no trouble at all.


The only parcel I have had a problem with was the one delivered by a non-Royal Mail firm.

Oh Dear it keeps happening!!

My sister sent me a parcel from Europe (sent as letter so should come with Royal Mail from my experience).....still not here two weeks later and no 'pick up note'.

Two out of three things ordered on Amazon did arrive but one still missing and will luckily be replaced.

I sometimes have to pick up my parcels at Cans on Forest Hill Road (usually parcel force though). Called them they were very helpful but didn't have my stuff.

Tried Sylvester Road sorting office and was told 'If you haven't got a note through the door love it ain't here'.....they also never pick up the phone, have called them numerous times and it's definitely the right number.

Very frustrating....

Rpyal mail has infprmed me if the parcel has still not arrived after two weeks I can complain (and I suppose I have nothing better to do!!!!!)

Moan moan.....

Why, did she write "cheque enclosed" on the outside in large letters to make it more interesting looking? :)


If I'm sending a cheque I always make sure it isn't visible from outside, eg enclose it in plain paper if the envelope is thin ......

Its all well and good complaining about the sorting office. Owning a house in silvester road - I do know some of them and the permanent staff are good honest people. I would also like to raise the point about all those that come to collect their letters and decide to park in the middle of the road/park illegally......if you are collecting a letter, park properly and do not block the road!!!!!

hi, i have posted separately also, but unhappily i have had a parcel go missing. sent recorded delivery, and just an unintelligable signature on the online tracking website.


im gutted as the item is one of a kind, its a home-made cushion.


i wont be able to go and complain until next saturady (I have to leave for work before the sorting office opens) but if anyone has mistakenly signed for it i would be very grateful to get it back. First name Amy, house number 38.

    • I've been there for lunch a few times and the home cooked asian food (as part of Sweat Dreams cafe) is genuinely great and a must try. I think the food side of the business has been slow to be noticed but people are now realising what is actually hidden in plain sight.  As for the Aroma Lab coffee ... it is excellent, they are very welcoming and friendly (and unpretentious!). This Australian coffee snob is mightily impressed!!  
    • Do you mean put out things like live mealworms for the parents to feed to the young? Or that the parents will eat the food you put out and therefore can save "wild" live food for the young rather than eating it themselves? On another matter, several weeks ago I moved my bird feeders to another part of my (very small) garden because the area they were in was totally scratched up by pigeons, and I lost several plants I had had for decades and was very fond of 😭 It is now just bare earth with no plants,  and I've got to start again. And block up a fox hole in one corner. I suspect the foxes are tunnelling beneath the garden, as there are several holes. I hope the ground doesn't suddenly collapse beneath me! I cleaned everything and put in fresh seed, but so far all that has visited the new area (that I have actually seen)  is one rather fat sparrow. And a cat. Sitting hopefully beneath the feeders 🤬 No goldfinches (I have a niger seed feeder and have seen the occasional goldfinch in the garden) and no tits, though I've heard both blue tits and great tits nearby. Plus the flock of sparrows who used to come and seem to have deserted the garden. Hopefully they will find the feeders. I've cut back some of the greenery, which doesn't help, as they have less shelter. 
    • So when will we find out? Is it going to be a big reveal on some specified day? If not, why can't you tell us now?! (I'm presuming you mean the new boss of Franklins. It would be too much to hope for that the Palmerston had a miraculous return to one of its better past incarnations. Never mind the food, they could bring back the lovely quirky painted column things of over twenty (?) years ago, and remove the hideous "art" that has sadly been installed. I feel really sorry for the staff, because it can't be just my partner and I who rarely go there any more. I suppose the only hope is that it does so badly that it changes hands again and that the new hands have better taste. Sorry, all off topic.)
    • I would hope that is extremely unlikely. If people accidentally vote for someone, that's their own fault, isn't it?
