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.

    • If you want to change a radiator and it is the same size, pretty straight forward.  isolate by turning the two valves, one is straight forward hand twist, the other side you need to take the cap off and get an adjustable spanner and turn till closed.  Both clockwise. Use the same spanner to undo the large nuts that fix the radiator to the pipework, open the bleed valve, get a flatish container to catch the water which is likely to be a grotty black, sheets/plastic underneath to protect floor/floor covering.  Then jiggle off, tipping as quick as you an into your water container. Fingers crossed it will be the same back plate fitting.  If not you will have to take the old one off and fix the new one. Replacement is a reverse, allowing the rad to refill and let the air out. No naked flames involved. If it is a different size I can advise on that too. Lots on line too: https://www.toolstation.com/help-and-advice/how-to-guides/how-to-remove-radiator?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=19747119835&gclid=CjwKCAiAkvDMBhBMEiwAnUA9BR26YwBA6kOfcR4-JVxfJEjWdhRk6j0imCNcsIfu064wHN54-cs10xoCZ4cQAvD_BwE Although this is for a pressurised (combi) system where you need to get it back to pressure.  Pretty simple.  I don't bother with jointing compound.    
    • Fair enough - I'm absolutely wrong on that one. 👍
    • I'm still completely unclear what happened, apart from that a car apparently crashed into a lamp post opposite the Co-op. I presume the one in Lordship Lane, though the OP doesn't say. Was it speeding? Did it swerve to avoid someone who ran into the road? Did something go wrong with its brakes or steering? Did the driver have a medical emergency or fall asleep or got  distracted by something? Was there something slippery on the road surface? Was the driver hurt? Were any passengers hurt? Were any pedestrians or other road users hurt? Were there any witnesses? 
    • confused by the question?
