I remember someone looking for a 2nd hand car which had to be an automatic. I sent her a PM. It only took her about 3 months to read it.


I think if someone offers professional advice for free in response to a question,it's polite to thank them.


Frankly though if someone wants an answer, it's far simpler to just direct them to UDT. He will have one and you won't feel the need to be thanked.

Alan Medic, you're too kind with your comments. But with your ability to analyse on the basis of grammar and spelling then I'm sure people will come to you for advice instead of me. I shall also direct the idiotic coalition government to your attention. Where you're able to solve the deficit using grammar and spelling only. As for the war on terrorism, you can small mind the terrorist into submission without having to sacrifice the lives of our troops.

I have taken the thrust of this thread to heart (albeit at an oblique angle) and have started to kick the ankles of people who do not say thankyou (Audibly FFS! and no, a smile is NOT enough!) when I move aside to allow them to pass on a narrow pavement/supermarket aisle.


It's for their own good.


I shall be attending church on Sunday for the first time in decades so I can extend my work.


It is taking up rather a lot of my time.

      Plumber recommendation - A.F.E Plumbing Services

      By Sue · Posted

      You can always check when they registered on the forum, if you are suspicious. But I recommended Aria, and it certainly wasn't my only post on here, and it was a genuine recommendation. ETA: And he didn't ask me to make it, to the best of my recollection. But even if he had, many local tradespeople ask people to post on here if they are happy with the work that has been done.

      Forest Hill Road Group Practice, Patient Participation Group (PPG), Next Meeting, 6:30pm, Thursday 23rd January 2025

      I am not a patient at this practice, but surely it is more sensible to have an initial  phone discussion, as often the GP wouldn't need to see someone face to face unless they actually needed to physically examine them? This then leaves the available face to face appointments for patients who need them. And if during  the phone call the GP felt you needed examining, then arrangements could be made for a face to face. If you feel your ailment is such that you will definitely need to be physically examined, can you not explain that to the receptionist?

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      By Sue · Posted

      Give Labour a chance, they've only been in government for a short time, and they inherited a mess! As regards the notice boards, to the best of my recollection they were originally intended as community notice boards, and certainly not for advertising local businesses (who would decide which businesses  should have the limited space on the boards, anyway?) East Dulwich may have become more gentrified since the boards were first introduced, but that surely doesn't mean they should now be completely  taken over for the benefit of  the "middle classes", to the exclusion of everybody else? As  NewWave says, surely these people have other ways to find out about groups and events of interest to them, which the "non middle classes" may not have access to, and even if they did may not be able to afford them. Several people including myself have complained to councillors about the state of the noticeboards in the past.  I think one of the issues is that they were originally maintained by local volunteers, who may have either moved out of the area or lost interest - or given up in despair when the boards were flypostered and/or vandalised. I completely  agree that the boards should be used for information about not for profit organisations in the area, but if regular maintenance can't be provided and/or they continue to be vandalised, then I think it would be better if they were removed altogether.
