An appeal. My faith in human kindness has been truly restored today by a very kind couple with their Young baby boy who live in 'The gardens' by Peckham rye park. My son Gary was searching everywhere for a chemist or a mothercare store to buy a tens machine for my daughter in law to take back to kings college hospital where they have been for the past 4wks due to a difficult pregnancy. He had asked everyone on his quest for help to find a shop he could buy 1, when this very kind couple offered to take him back to their home & give him theirs. They also offered him a shower, food if he had needed it too. As we are all from a little village in East Sussex he had no idea what an Oyster cards was so they explained he would need 1 to get a bus back to the hospital & gave him theirs with credit on it. They couple wouldn't accept payment but Gary & Caroline & myself would love to be able to find these very special people & thank them again. So please share this post everyone x

How very kind of them. It's lovely to hear about people going out of their way to help each other like that, particularly when the media dwell on doom and gloom all the time.


In case your situation continues, you might find it helpful to know that you can pay with a contactless credit or debit card on most London transport (not the 'heritage' old buses on a few tourist routes). Costs the same as Oyster.

I would be most surprised and alarmed should anyone there divulge details of anyone's address, name, anything identifying. Patient confidentiality it's called.

I wasn't suggesting she was looking for her husband! I just thought if he had gone back to their house as offered he might remember which one it was if he went back! I'm assuming he declined their offer and waited in the park whilst the guy went and got the thing he needed...


Anyway, to the OP, I wish you and your daughter all the best. Good luck.

      Nursery school

      By tomem · Posted

      Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report.

      Have a great nhs dentist accepting patients

      By Sue · Posted

      I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
