I don't want to seem like I've had a total sense of humour failure, because actaully your first post did make me laugh, but it is a bit of a dated stereotype to think that a doctor can't be a fashionable woman with a personality.

Sadly, it still surprises people of all ages and backgrounds when their doctor is a young woman and I still get called nurse every day. Although your nickname is lighthearted it does reflect the belief that doctors have to be stuffy men in suits.

I don't dress glamourously for work, it wouldn't really be appropriate for the area I work in, but I'd like to think I have a personality. I certainly know and work with lots of dynamic, fashionable, charismatic and interesting women who also happen to be doctors.

Annaj, it is very true that people are surprised to see a young dynamic woman working as a doctor. I should know better than to quip about it. I used to work as an accountant in the city, and was often faced with surprised looks from people who had assumed I was a PA - so it happens in other industries too.

I'll stick to being an ex-accountant, now Mum, who must admit to feeling more than slightly jealous when faced with the lovely Dr Anu looking fabulous while I sit covered in baby sick/food, wearing whatever clothes I picked up off the floor that morning, looking like I've been dragged through a hedge backwards. Sigh.

Oh dear, serious wire crossing giggirl.

I don't work at DMC and I'm certainly not the fabulously glamourous Dr Bhatia. I work in a not very glamourous hospital far enough away from ED that I'm not likely to ever encounter any forumites.

I was just making the point that it shouldn't really be a surprise to find a female doctor who is also fashionable and has a personality.

      Leisure Centre Gym refurb

      By Brian up the hill · Posted

      The refurb has made it brighter and smarter with greater emphasis on weights and other exercise. Seems that cardio is restricted to the quarter of the floor area as you enter. This seems fair enough as I rarely saw more than half the cardio equipment being used at any one time. I have been told that some cardio will be on the newly created gallery space overlooking the main gym floor. Free weights area looks bigger and there is a good range of resistance machines offering to exercise most muscle groups. There are some new types such as a squat machine, whereas core machines for abs and back seem to have disappeared. I have been told that some machines have yet to arrive. Overall, it’s a great improvement.  To say it’s still a dump is unfair and untrue.  The alternative would be to traipse over to Beckenham where David Lloyd will charge you the same for two months’s membership as you would pay for a year at DLC.
