I agree about simple skills exchange!! I am definitely NOT looking for therapy [as bodsier posted] or heavy duty work.


Just some simple, friendly, one-to-one 'help each other out' type of stuff.


I imagine there must be LOADS of it out there.


And, as others have said..maybe keep it to EDF?..a simple exchange of simple skills?


Can we have a section on EDF??? Can we??

I am writing from The Great Exhibition Pub and think that your idea of a local skills swap is brilliant. We are actually at the moment planning a Random Acts of Kindness Week to take place on the 11-17th February, and think that this could be a great addition to the events that we have planned.

We were thinking of hosting a skills swap board, where you can come and post up the skills you have or want to swap? Any thoughts you have on this would be appreciated.

We have today launched a Local Skills Swap wall here at The Great Exhibition. We are very excited about this concept, and already have two pledges!! First a private tuition in either Buisness or ICT GCSE from the head teacher of a local school, and a Clarinet, Saxophone or music theory lesson.


We really hope to get as many people involved in this as possible, so please do come in and make your skill pledges!

I think this is a great ideas guys; I have added to the wall via the staff; 2x1 hour personal training sessions at our private personal training studio on Overhill Road. Speak to the Great Exhibition staff for details.


The music lessons sound great I've always wanted to learn to play an instrument!

      Nursery school

      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.

      Boycotting US products

      Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
