I Had Measles as 4-5 y/o in the early 1950's. Millions died world wide at that time.


I also had Whooping Cough at the same time. I was Very poorly.


I can still clearly remember lying on our settee with my mum. I had a temp. of 105 F

Our G.P. made a home visit and my dad had to go to Kembers, a late night Chemist at Camberwell Green

to get some Medicine.. No Idea what that may of been at the time. There was No Vaccine


I did not die.. We went to the seaside at the weekend and my dad took me out on a boat trip.


The next day I had a miraculous recovery.


Fresh air.. Get out and about.


Not at all healthy to stay in doors..


In the 40's before I was born, my mum had T.B.

She was sent to Pinewoods Sanatorium. It was Winter.. A foot of snow on the ground..

They left the windows open. They went for walks in the snow. It was Freezing.

She recovered...


Fresh air. The best remedy for most illness.

That high temp must have killed off some of your brain cells.

Well At birth as most babies I had 100 Billion Brain Cells.


I seemed to of survived with what I have left.


there's another type of brain cell, called a Glial cell, that can divide to form new cells.

Aaaaanyway... back to the matter in hand. Southwark News reports on local charity shops reopening. Please do what you can to visit them as I know that charities have suffered massively with the loss of revenue during lockdown.

"Fashion charity shop TRAID started reopening its larger shops this week including its Peckham branch.

The Rye Lane shop opened on Thursday, June 18, with social distancing measures in place.

Its new window displays feature rainbow collections ? a nod to the NHS and all our key workers during the pandemic.

Mental health charity Mind?s East Dulwich charity shop ? in Grove Vale ? is also now open.

Donated good are being isolated for 72-hours before being sorted.

St Christopher?s Hospice says the majority of its shops will be open by Tuesday (June 23).

Till areas have been fitted with acrylic screens and contactless payment is the preferred method."

Fresh air and sunlight actually do make a big difference in fighting off viral illnesses. During the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, those who were treated outdoors in field hospitals (presumably because other hospitals were overwhelmed) had better outcomes. And the importance of Vitamin D in fighting Covid-19 has now been widely acknowledged.

Hear hear, mate!

What an absolute load of garbage it is to rattle on about "hysteria" in such a situation!

Anyone in any doubt go read up the details of symptoms and treatment for hospitalised people, the appalling business of having to try to breath via a tube shoved down your throat. Unbelievable lack of empathy/understanding, to take risks with anyone elses health by moaning about masks etc. Just get on with it, and shut up.

      Yet another burst main... major leak on Lordship Lane nr junction with Barry Rd

      By beansprout · Posted

      In the country, where I have relocated to these things and dealing with council  for all matters are dealt with  in days… freely admit less population than london. Certainly faster in everything.  Not surprised at all about Thames Water - remember years ago calling them about a leak in road - then it took a week for them to come out, despite daily calls from me. Disgusting at that time the lack of concern and wastage of water. Unbelievable that they are not held to account fir anything and that goes for Southwark Council as well.

      But without knowing the cause of the repeated leaks, it's impossible to comment really. Poor repairs? Something wrong further up the system? Lack of maintenance?  When one of the leaks in our road recurred shortly after it had been repaired, a TW guy said to me that the repairers must have jumped too hard on the asphalt (?) laid above the point of the repair when they were getting it to settle (?) and broken the repair. I wasn't sure if he was joking or not 🤣

      But in many cases the leaks are happening in the same places again and again, and every inch of pipe outside the Horniman on the South Circular must have been replaced at least 3 times in the last 15 years! Of course the infrastructure in some areas is old, but locally there's been quite a bit of replacement. To little effect it would seem.

      Noticeboard on Northcross Road

      Thank you, Pugwash. That's really useful information. Do you know who was responsible for the locks and keys, or which council department? Could you PM me if you don't want to put someone's personal details on here?  It may save me having to speak to Monica. Thanks.
