I know I've had swine flu because I had 11 of the 12 symptoms (my son had all 12) and I have had the flu jab for the past 12 years and no flu. Prior to that I would get flu every year. It's like labour and chicken pox, you'll know if you have really got it.


It's very odd though that my husband and aged parents didn't get it even though we coughed and spluttered all over them. Immune systems are very strange things.

Has anyone seen the Thunderer's shock headline today? Swine Flu Girl...died of double infection


Apparently, the reportedly healthy little girl that died recently of swine flu was found post-mortem to have had a number of other complications - the conclusion being that apparently we aren't all going to die this week from advanced plague.


A gross breach of journalistic standards - surely they understand that the role of the press is to hype up this situation into a panicky crisis until we all form armed mobs breaking into hospitals to self-inject Tamiflu?

I missed the diahorrea thankfully. You do need to have the fever to be diagnosed as swine flu although it doesn't mean you haven't got it/had it. A few people I know who have been in contact with those with swine flu have just had sore throats - maybe those are the mild ones. Lets hope so.

    • Does anyone know if the above is taking place this year. Can't seem to find it mentioned anywhere?   Simon
    • Hello, with the weather improving, I thought I would flag up the free access to leisure centres in southwark. 1. If you are experiencing poor mental and physical health and live in the borough, the GP exercise referral service allows up to three months of free use of leisure centers. There are three levels of support, and you can even refer yourself. read more for more info: Kickstart, Active Boost and Cardiactive - Everyone Health Southwark   2. If you don't have challenges with physical ands mental health, you can access the free swim and gym for a year. for more info: Free swim & gym eligibility requirements – Leisure Facilities in Southwark 3. Are you a blue badge holder? you can apply for the AD Permit, a virtual payment which allows disabled drivers to part on single and double yellow lines without the need of displaying a blue bae in the windscreen. there is also information for disabled residents to use the Low Traffic Neighborhood (LTNs) around the borough.  Exemptions for Blue Badge holders | Southwark Council Want more information? use the councils website: www.southwark.gov.uk               
    • I am about to tomorrow. I only just realised after asking some neighbours today. Agreed that smaller households should of course pay less, like discounted council tax bills for those on benefits for example. However as our bills have gone up astronomically generally in the last few years, I do feel hardworking families are being penalised... also avid gardeners will be penalised in the summer when gardens are watered no doubt. 
    • Hello Womanofdulwich, I had a meter installed in the summer of last year. Currently my bills have fallen massively. Can you remember which month your water meter was installed? Also I received two appointments, one from a group of staff in orange who decide if the property is suitable for the water meter, and then a second appointment for the meter to be installed, did you have the same thing? Are you saying as well that you was cold called regarding the water meter, or are you saying someone from Thames water turned up, at your door unannoyed?   Lastly (so sorry to through so much questions at you) how many bedrooms do you have and how many people live at the property?
