  1. I agree Peckhampam though i do wonder if one push of the button may be overloading the system as the text from my GP surgery took three days to arrive. By the time I?d received it, I?d also heard from Guy?s and had made a booking with them. On one hand going to TJ would have been more convenient, on the other I?m looking forward to escaping East Dulwich for a few hours.

    Did you actually see the word ?often??
  3. The Guardian guilty of speculation? Surely not. Next you?ll be saying The Mail is a right wing newspaper.

    Something I?ve discovered is that those who accuse others of bullying are often tremendous bullies themselves.
  6. I?m developing vaccination envy
  7. Though EDF is of course extremely influential, it does not have the power to install new equipment in Peckham Rye. Suggest you contact Renata Hamvas one of the councillors for that area.
  8. You don?t think that six recommendations in six different threads may be a bit OTT?
  9. Yeah, there was a thread about it seven years ago /forum/read.php?5,1246501,page=1
  10. EBF - have you registered with Sainsbury?s as being vulnerable? I did that back in March and if you are registered then you will have access to slots not generally available.
  11. I receive all communications from my surgery via text these days
  12. Closing one site without replacing it with another much needed site, cramming postal workers into an existing office, and selling on the original site is very much part of the privatisation model. Asset stripping.

  13. It?s bad all over the country. A parcel that I arranged to be posted from Sussex on 8 December only arrived at its destination in Glastonbury on this Sunday past, 3 January, taking almost 4 weeks.
  14. They do say to leave it by the brown bin for collection as well without the need to book a collection. This page on the website is more or less a repetition of what they say every year, I don?t think they?ve ever said just leave it out on the street! But we do and they get collected. The excellent guys in the truck with the cage are on the look out. Mine was gone in half an hour which was of course left in such a way so as not to cause an obstruction.
  15. In Archdale Road. If you think it may be yours, please PM
  16. Do you mean when it had all the signs and perhaps the blue lamp indicating it was a police station? The building is still there but residential.
  17. thank you trousaprezz for your post confirming what I had suspected which why I?ve been cutting them some slack. Over the last six months,I?ve received tracked parcels through Royal Mail from Superdrug, Amazon and Marks and Spencer, large corporates who have not been, as far as I know, using Royal Mail before. So it seems like Royal Mail have been going after this courier type business and treating it as a priority (who?d want to upset those companies I mentioned) without increasing resources, in fact the opposite due to circumstances admittedly outside their control. This has been at the cost of the ordinary letter post. So while I can understand the new business Royal Mail has taken on must be very lucrative for them, they really have to get their act together, increase their resources including space, to serve the traditional customer who sends and receives mail via ordinary first and second class letter post.
  18. I have a feeling she will be invited back before too long. That she resigned rather than wait to be sacked avoids the situation where Keir Starmer is seen to do a U turn.
  19. No one?s mentioned it cos it?s not true ETA Actually, on reflection, that doesn?t usually stop people
  20. For both UK and EU. Vaccinations in EU started today.
  21. Details re EU vaccination programme can be found at https://ec.europa.eu/commission/presscorner/detail/en/qanda_20_2467 including: ?The Commission is negotiating intensely to build a diversified portfolio of vaccines for EU citizens at fair prices. Contracts have been concluded with AstraZeneca (400 million doses), Sanofi-GSK (300 million doses), Johnson and Johnson (400 million doses ), BioNTech-Pfizer 300 million doses, CureVac (405 million doses) and Moderna (160 million doses). The Commission has concluded exploratory talks with the pharmaceutical company Novavax with a view to purchasing up to 200 million doses. ?This means that the Commission has secured a portfolio of more than 2 billion doses. For the Commission it was important from the beginning to build a diversified portfolio of vaccines based on different technologies, to increase the chances that one or more of the vaccine candidates are approved by EMA. Should all vaccines candidates turn out to be safe and effective, Member States have the possibility to donate part of their doses to lower and middle income countries.?
  22. ?(attack the ball not the person is always best, argue against what I say, don't try to discredit me as that will just dilute your point of view!) ? Hmmm ...
  23. There are so many mind readers on this thread! You are telling me what the design is of my question, ah this has to be an example of mansplaining. I am neither for nor against the road closures, I can see there are both pros and cons. I ask for some factual back up for one of the arguments that the anti camp keep coming up with. But it seems the argument is not backed up by any factual meaningful data.

I?m asking for a percentage of drivers who are affected by the LTN measures who are unable either by infirmity or age who are unable to walk or cycle.
  25. We?re going to be hearing even more rubbish like this now, what?s that saying about history being written by the victors?
