General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.

Evri has the worst reputation nationwide by far. I have them on ring doorbell trying to shove a parcel that was bigger than the letter box through by force. They then sent a 'proof of delivery' picture to me that showed the box completely mashed. They've thrown parcels, left them in stupid places (including in a full recycling bin on bin day!), damaged them, lost them, and delivered them to completely the wrong house. Next door is full of people putting their delivery pics up with "Does anyone recognise this door?".

Yeah it's really unusual, I've heard nothing but horror stories about Evri, and obviously about Hermes before them! Hermes were terrible for me, but for some reason any parcel I have through Evri turns up on time, and the drivers have been relatively nice - both down in London, and up in the Midlands! I'm sorry you've had such a nightmare with them though, bad delivery services are absolutely infuriating!
