We got a femtocell to improve mobile reception at home - runs over wifi and works brilliantly. T-Mobile (and I think other companies) sell them as an add on (you have to have the right femtocell for your mobile network) but if you make enough of a fuss about your reception you may get one on a complimentary basis.


The other thing is have you thought about upgrading to 4G. I recently did and have been astonished about how much better mobile reception is. All the 3G blackspots near us have good 4G coverage. It's almost as if they run the 3G network down in places to force you to upgrade to 4G *conspiracy face*. Appreciate it's not ideal to upgrade on the chance that it might improve things, but it did seem to work really well in my case.


Edited because I can't spell conspiracy...

I've never actually heard of these. They sound brilliant but at the same time I feel, why should I have to buy an add-on because they are unable to provide me with any kind of decent coverage! Mind you, I know that's idealistic.. I'll look into it, thanks again.

EE reception has got much worse over the last few years due to their crappy version of 4G and mast consolidation post T Mobile merger. I'm near you and tried out sims for 3, O2 and Vodafone. And Vodafone won hands down. It has been life changing....no more standing outside on a box to call a mate.

      Anyone else having issues with The Gardens Surgery

      I’ve been happily with them for donkeys years but my recent experience has been a bit shocking. Clinical staff have been great (if you can get an appointment) but apparently the Practice has a ‘new system’ in place. You can’t phone for an appointment, you have to go ‘on the app’ and request one. GP will review the request at some unspecified point and decide whether to offer you an appointment . My experience of using the app hasn’t been good and I’m a bit horrified that folk can no longer arrange appointments by phone or by walking in. I’ve also had them lose referral forms, and had to chase them multiple times over a simple GP letter. This has never been my experience in the past so it’s alarming. Anyway, I’ve asked to be included in the Patient Participation Panel, so I’m interested in the experience of others, good & bad? Feel free to PM me, if you prefer!

      Milk delivery

      I miss milkmen. It was the sign of a good night out if you met one on the way home. But could quality produce, in 100% recyclable packaging and home-delivered by zero emission electric vehicles really catch on these days? They should bring back the Corona pop man, as well.

      Based on what I’ve seen, you can get yogurt in small glass jars from milkman now if you miss those.  Butter and bread is also available.  One of the dairies has fresh bread from a bakery in Brockley, but that bakery also do their own deliveries which I had been thinking of trying.

      Of course you also had lot's of local diaries. My grandmother had a job as a milkmaid in Camberwell when she was young!
