I?m posting on behalf of a close friend whose husband collapsed on the street earlier this week in the West Dulwich area. A member of the public passing by stopped to help until the ambulance arrived, and my friend would really like to track this person down as she didn?t manage to get their details in the panic of the moment. If you are (or know) this person please pm me and I can put you in touch.

Interesting redjam... he?s at Charter ED too... will get him to look into that, thank you!

My 12 year old son is REALLY into all of the above and is keen to play against some other enthusiasts... I know there are tournament days at some specialist shops in various parts of London but it often doesn't work for us to make that happen for him. I was wondering if there are any other kids in ED who are 'likeminded' and might like to meet up to play? If there are a few could even maybe set up a regular 'club' or local (kid-friendly) event? Get in touch if you/your son/daughter might be interested!

Renata, I am a Southwark resident living on Barry Road, a whopping 600m from Goodrich etc, and my application outcome reads 'No offer possible'. So not quite true that we've all been offered a place is it?

I had a VBAC at home 18 months ago thanks to the lanes who were incredibly supportive. But don't give up at kings - when i was deciding whether to go for hospital or home i had my consultant's appointment which was with miss penna who i think is one of the most senior people there, but before she came in another doctor (more junior) was taking my history. When i said i wanted a home birth this doctor told me i couldn't even consider it, i had to be monitored and more or less told me if i had a home birth i would die and my baby would die. Really freaked me out. Then the actual consultant walked in and found out what had been said and pretty much dressed this doctor down in front of me and told her "don't ever say anything like that to a patient of mine again". The consultant then earned my eternal respect by saying to me: "some doctors think their job is to tell you what to do. I don't think that. My job is to tell you what the risks are then you make a decision." If one of the most senior people in the department says that you have the right to make your own decisions about your birth then the midwives and other doctors below her don't have a leg to stand on. Just keep on insisting until you get what you want.

Just trying to save anyone arriving at the Mag for Babble on Friday morning to find the pub closed! Babble and Squeak Playtime is now being held at the East Dulwich Tavern on Fridays at the same time (10 - 11.45). Please could we ask you to spread the word if you know anyone who may be planning to come along? Many thanks, Kate and Tina

Hi Apenn, Thank you very much for compiling this brilliant list of activities and also for kindly including Babble and Squeak Playtime. We have now moved venue to the East Dulwich Tavern for our Friday morning get-together and we'd be incredibly grateful if this change could be included in the next updated list. We're trying hard to let everyone know about the move as we really want to avoid anyone making a wasted journey to the Mag only to find we're not there! Thanks again, Kate and Tina

We have just had our second flat tyre on our car in a week. We live on Barry Road and have heard that other people round here have been getting regular punctures. Has anyone else been experiencing this? If we can find out who else is having this problem we might be able to figure out who or what is causing it.

Hello, Just a reminder that Babble & Squeak Playtime will be returning this Friday, the 8th January at 10am, at the Magnolia on Lordship Lane and we would love to have you come along. Best wishes and Happy New Year!
