I don’t know many/any details but I know it’s been discussed on this Forum but just not on this particular thread. This thread started in 2011. I know there are/were other threads regarding this area and I’m quite sure I posted on one. You could ask Admin.

Aren’t there building plans for flats in that area? Also, is Greendale Playing Fields staying as it is? I thought there were also plans for there.

Yes, it’s ridiculous, but you should do what they say and see if it works. Record the conversation.

That’s terrible. By ringing 111, surely SELDOC should then see you at night?

Do the women who started NV still work there? They expanded quite rapidly. They have branches in Penge and Crofton Park. That £40 price for a prescription is/was shocking. I wouldn’t use a place that forced your animal to have completely unnecessary vaccinations. Better to have your pet looked after in their own home (especially cats) or in someone else’s home they are comfortable with.

I used to like going there on my way back from town. Very sorry to hear it’s closing.

Are you able to get a phone appt and not a face to face or is it both? The last doctor I saw face to face was one of the for hire doctors you mentioned on the right hand side of the reception area. That was December 2022.

Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required? Do M&S do cash back?

Does this info come via local vets? It would be good if one of them would make a post and contact LB Southwark about this. Do you know any details of the poison?

I presume there are cameras there? The plod *should* be looking at the footage to see who is doing this, both the thefts and the planting of the device. I encountered one in the cash machine outside the Co/op on Forest Hill Road a few years. Do supermarkets still do cash back? Do post offices allow cash withdrawals inside? It sounds like no outside cash point is safe now.

Another one to consider - I used to go to Mayow Vets in Sydenham. They are independent. They have changed hands since I first went there in 2008.

Thanks. I found it. It might be worth trying the vets in Kenbury Street, Camberwell for another opinion.

Have you looked at Deal? I know a family with now grown children and an older married couple who moved there from this area more than 10 years ago and really like it. Nice high street with quite a few good restaurants. For a city, I like Bristol a lot. Less than two hours by train to Paddington. Good hospitals. Easy access to countryside - Cotswolds, Devon and Cornwall. Also, look at Wimborne Minster, Dorset, a historic market riverside town north of Bournemouth. I did a lot of research a few years back and WM ticked a lot of boxes for me.

Yes, that’s where I got my message. Should be a news story as many people will be worried. I was.

Are any women getting notifications about needing a mammogram from their GP? I’ve received one from Tessa Jowell and when I contacted the breast screening service , I was told that erroneous messages are being sent out and they are now inundated by worried women. My last one was in November 2023 and they are supposed to be every three years. Another guess that this is to do with ££.

What happened to the Neighbourhood Vet thread?

Was told today by TJGP (not a doctor) that if you want a referral, then they can only be done on a Monday and a Thursday. This means that you can only book a consultation for that purpose on those days. I sincerely hope this information is incorrect. Has anyone heard this before?

There is a Wanted section on this forum. You could post there. In the past I’ve bought freestanding wardrobes at the Lots Road auction house. You can also check out the Gumtree and the Preloved sites.

Sue, I needed to discuss another different prescription but not specifically the one that GP called about so to tell me it wasn’t a consultation was ridiculous.

So sorry to hear this. Any camera footage?

3 Sisters? Did they offer you a cash discount?

In the recent past, I have asked which GPs are doing appointments that day and have never been given more than 4 names per day. I’ve done this in case I can ask for a certain preferable GP. I’m quite sure there are some who aren’t doing ‘consultations’ but are going through blood test results and other paperwork. This relates to the telephone call I had last week and which I posted about upthread.

Some of the GPs might be amazing. You said the two GPs you spoke to were helpful in getting you support. That doesn’t mean they are all helpful. I had an unpleasant experience with a GP last week who called me to check on a prescription - I did not call them - and who refused to let me discuss anything else as it ‘wasn’t a consultation’. His words.

Yes, I know that. I want a delivery. It seems that must, if not all local Chinese restaurants want cash on delivery.
