I have lived in London since 1994 now and as an able bodied person have jumped aboard any route master bus in motion as a matter of course.

I noticed that too Laur. Reminds me of catching the old routemaster No. 3 bus home from Kingsdale in the late 70s. We would all be hanging off the end!


The old photo of the Kings on the Rye brings back memories too. Everytime I go past the whitewash building now it just looks so out of place to what I remember.

I realised when I posted the original post that I had forgotten to check what awards had actually been given. nxjen posted the link which showerd both police officers got the Gearge Medal and I can confirm that Henry James Hicks also got a George Medal.

The story of the night of 27/12/40 continues.


After the first three people received the George Medal a case was put forward for two bus conducters to received recognition for there bravery that night.


These two got commendations.


I have also attached the pages from the Met. Police diary for that night just for general interest. P division is where these events happened.

    • I watched this BBC expose on the news a week or so ago and wasn’t surprised at what they found although ii’s shocking when you see what the Police uncover. The amount of nail bars in London appearing almost daily is also cause for concern. What I can’t understand is the places that were raided had thousands and thousands of pounds of unpaid gas, electric etc bills. 
    • GPs are general practitioners, hence the name; they are not specialists.  Specialist doctors only work in hospitals.  Each GP surgery has a catchment area; you cannot just choose a GP because you think they are the best match for your health condition, you have to be in their catchment.  If you are not happy with the one you are currently with, ring round the others nearby and find an alternative who is able to take you.  Then, work with your hospital clinic and the GP together to maintain your health. As an aside, I have a chronic autoimmune condition and have had no problems with the shared care of my GP (The Gardens) and hospital consultant ( I am under Prof Heneghan).  I visit the clinic twice a year, they advise my GP of any changes and the GP does my prescriptions (which include a controlled drug) and my blood tests in between.  When there has been any queries about compatibility or suitability of a treatment, the GP contacts the team at Kings for advice.  The system works perfectly.   Good luck with your change of GP and give them any hospital letters when you sign up.  A GP along cannot manage your condition, so you will need to ask your hospital specialists to set up a new shared care agreement with your new GP (this has to be done this way; a GP cannot set that up).     
    • How can one have the confidence that it is not the barista cutting your hair and the barber making your coffee? 
    • We went as a family of four in October. Flights were OK (Cathy Pacific, in their January sale) and accommodation was relatively expensive in Tokyo (definitely not £30 a night) but food/drink/transport/shopping were way cheaper. Easy to feed four of us in an izakaya for £40 including drinks. Shops like muji & Uniqlo half the price they are here. We ended up needing to buy an extra suitcase. Was an incredible trip
