Your detective skills would be appreciated
The postie delivered this card a short while ago and I can't work out where I need to go to pick up the package. I know it's from DIMIA in Australia and I know it's waiting somewhere in Haven Green, Ealing but the postie says it's not a PO card and probably belongs to a courier. After a number of searches I don't find anything.
Does anyone have any ideas? If not, I'll have to wait until Tuesday to call Australia.

Hi
It seems like it could be a receipt from something you posted, could it be from the Panel Dr sending you proof of postage? It is just that it states the office of posting as London and the addressee as LCU? Apart from that I am puzzled as to why you have received it

I agree. It looks like proof of delivery to the LCU.
DG, have you just had your medicals??

We certainly did send off x-rays so your suggestions make sense, thanks.

Having lived in Ealing before moving here it sounds like the local post office collection. It's not exactly obvious where to find it. Find Ealing Studios - on Haven Green. Up one of the driveways there on the right is the smallest collection office in the world! Tiny sign on the door - only thing giving it away is the row of Royal Mail trucks parked outside. Basically outside Ealing Studios there is a set of traffic lights outside Budgens. If you are walking, cross over these and follow the road around left. The driveway is on the right. It is the same driveway you go up for Ealing Comedy Club.
The guy that works there is a real prick btw - make sure you have your id etc and be prepared to wait, even at 7 in the morning.
Good luck!

Well it seems you were all correct. The x-rays arrived on the 23rd and on the 31st we were told our application has been accepted! That sounds like some kind of record. Actually, the big relief is knowing that there was nothing important on the x-rays.

T'was a 457. We were told repeatedly that for my wife, 11 year old son and I required x-rays. There's another thread about somewhere that explains that they then told us that our son needed a medical so in effect we wouldn't be able to go anywhere 'till that's sorted.
