So I asked lloyds to collect a prescription for a liquid calcium supplement from Dmc on crystal palace road for my 2 year old who is on a dairy and soya free diet as she is allergic to them. She has been prescribed said calcium by her paediatric gastroenterologist (who then referred is back to the gp for future prescriptions). Now I have had 2 separate appointments with a gp to collect a prescription for her calcium as instructed by the specialist, which I have then collected from lloyds. Both times I asked for a repeat prescription, both times the GPs messed up and didn't provide it. So, went to collect the prescription from lloyds and lo and behold lloyds were told it was not on repeat prescription. If the gp had cared to look at my daughters file thu would have seen she should have been prescribed on repeat and also should have a source of calcium given the absence of the major dietary sources of it. I rang the surgery and the 'helpful' receptionist said I would need to make an appointment. Now this is against the problem of a lack of appointments for patients who are actually ill. I am so mad as lo needs her supplement. Luckily I have enough to keep her sorted until I get a prescription (won't leave until I have ensured it is repeat), but I can't fathom how irresponsible the practice is. Beggars belief...

It's not impossible to get an appt, that's total bollox.

Impossible means not possible.

What are all the people sat in the waiting room for - a picnic ?

You go there and join a small queue outside just before 0800 (earlier if you just have to be no.1), they open the door and you go inside and at the desk they book you in for next available slot.

Did it last Wednesday and they gave me a slot for 1030, I was 5th in the queue and everyone in front of me got a slot that morning or, as some of them wanted, afternoon / next day.


How many versions of 'impossible' are there ?! Going by the version I use it's entirely 'possible'.



I understand that people can have difficulties with DMC or any other establishment, but lying on a public forum is disengenuous to other EDFers and unfair to the business. Just because you can't get what you want and now is probably an expectation management issue you need to fix, to save you slagging-off other local businesses who don't deserve your attacks.


I've just demonstrated its NOT impossible.

      Section 20

      Thanks for these comments. Very helpful. The porch and hallway shows on their lease plan but we share the freehold together.

      Section 20

      By Cyclemonkey · Posted

      Ok.  You have bigger problems than this s20 notice.  How have you let one freeholder dominate things.  You both have the equal right to decide how to manage the communal areas of the property.  I would get some legal advice on your duties and rights as a freeholder and then request a meeting  to reset the relationship. Also as noted in other posts is the front yard and door actually the responsibility of the freeholder.  These are all questions you should ask in your S20 response.

      Baby-Friendly Screenings at East Dulwich Picturehouse – Too Restrictive?

      By Angelina · Posted

      seems perfectly sensible to restrict cert 18 but would have thought cert 15 are acceptable. we don't know what the complaint was or if the measures taken by the cinema address it or go too far. if there was a scenario when an infant was in a regular screening, then I would completely understand the complaint. if the complaint was from someone who attended a parent screening, then - well, I guess it depends what was on! if the complaint was from someone who has not involvement or experience then the cinema surely wouldn't have taken measures based  on it

      Laptop not sorted any more 😭😭😭

      By Sue · Posted

      Unbelievable. My laptop ran fine for a while and now it's got the blue screen of death on startup. I've just been running through all the options with Which Tech, and nothing they have tried (rollback etc etc) has sorted it. So I've got to crawl back to John Lewis and I guess it will be back to the factory reset 😭 BUT Also unbelievable. Since the BSOD I have been using my old Dell laptop, which nobody could fix either. It runs Windows 10, and had been running at watching paint dry speed, as indeed it was when I started using it again recently due to the problems with the new one. It's quite old, and it  wasn't worth paying to get anything hardware related sorted given the move to Windows 11, which was why I bought a new one. BUT!!! There was a Windows 10 update recently. And since then the Dell has been running at lightning speed 😮 It probably won't now I've posted this 🤣
