mischief

I highly recommend Greg. He fixed 2 windows that were sticking, replaced some broken handles and installed a new lock on my front door. Greg is very professional and knowledgeable. He got the work done quickly and at a very reasonable price.

Hi Jeremy Thanks for your concern and yes, I got my callback and everything was sorted out to my satisfaction. I wasn't given a specific time on this occassion, I was told it would be late afternoon so I did not expect it before 5pm. My Doctor call at 525pm. On a previous occasion I was told the Doctor would ring me at 0905, and true to their word I got a call at 5 past 9. Obviously many people have had problems with DMC, I am not disputing that, I just want to give some positive feedback and as I said in my original reply, I have never had any problems at all with DMC.

Last night I realised I would have to call DMC today to either speak to or make an appointment to see a Doctor. I googled to check the opening hours and noticed this thread and read it while waiting to get through on the phone. I want to give some positive feedback about DMC. I got through after about 25- 30 mins and am waiting for my Doctor to call me back. I was told by the receptionist that the call would not be until late afternoon (this was after I had told her why I was ringing). On a Monday morning, I do not think 25- 30 mins waiting to speak to someone is unacceptable. Maybe for some it is but this is probably the busiest time to contact them. My problem will be dealt with today, and if necessary I will get to see a Doctor. I have been with DMC since July 2011 and have never had any problems getting an appointment whether it was urgent or not. I find the receptionists and admin staff very helpful. I have never had any issues with any of the doctors I have seen. In approximately 2 and 1/2 years I have seen 4 different doctors, this is not a problem for me. They have all been excellent and always gave me the care and attention I felt was needed for my appointment. If my appointment was not at the arranged time, I understand that some appointments take longer than others and when asked the receptionist has always given a realistic waiting time. The Doctor seen also apologised for the delay. In the last 6 months or so I have seen the same doctor each time and it is always her that rings me back for telephone consultations. All in all I have no complaints with DMC and would recommend it to family or friends

Ma nam an na, do do do dodoo

Just to let you all know,my neighbour, a lady who is 96, had her front door kicked in, her inside door was literally smashed in half, at approx 9.30pm tonight. Luckily she is quite deaf so slept through it, she wasn't harmed and is now with her family. Her TV was taken from the sitting room and some jewellery from the room she was sleeping in. The guy who was boarding up the door said he had already been to a similar incident on Goodwich Road earlier tonight.

My friend is with Virgin and hasn't had any problems. I know from past experience that what you are experiencing is the normal standard of service from Virgin.

I live on Dunstans Road and after reading this thread about 4 hours ago have listened to probably every car that has passed over the bump right outside. The only cars getting scraped underneath are the ones that are driving too fast. The cars being driven at an appropriate speed for the road pass over without getting scraped. I've lived here for over 10 years and before we had the bumps we had years of cars speeding up and down the road at all hours of the day and night. I'd rather hear the occasional scrape than have the street being used as noisy rat run. That's my opinion, and I'm sure the money that would be used to rectify this 'problem' could be put to much better use. Do the residents of Dunstans Road really want the disruption caused by yet more roadworks for the sake of those using our street as a shortcut?

it's Ok, it seems to be working now
