  1. I have a vague memory that the bird was called snowball
  2. I really hope that ‘desperate times’ isn’t a suggestion that people are being forced to rob amazon packages because of the cost of living crisis. These people have been stealing packages from my road and I’m sure everyone else’s for a decade.
  3. I agree there have been some extraordinary responses to your post, made all the more baffling by the fact that they largely completely ignore the facts that you outline. Your instinct that the journey - which as you make clear he must make on some days because he has two homes - is too complex for a ten year old, or at least your ten year old, who you know best, is completely sound I think. The issue has been created because rather than take responsibility for the fact that on the mornings your son wakes up at his dad?s he needs to be taken to school, your ex has chosen to decide that your son is old enough to do it alone when he isn?t. You absolutely don?t have to agree to this. I presume the reason his dad doesn?t want to make the journey with him is because he has to get into work for a certain time? If that?s the case then he really does need to accept that this is a dilemma faced by lots of parents but the responsibility lies with him to negotiate his working hours or whatever is necessary to get his primary school aged child to school safely. He needs to accommodate the logistical difficulties that have arisen from his son having two addresses, not the other way round. he wants his son to sleep over at his house on school nights and what comes with that is a responsibility to get him to school the following morning.
  4. You haven?t read the whole thread then I assume? BB lives a simple bus ride from the school. The issue is that her ex, the child?s father, has chosen to live several miles away from his children. His choice of course, each to his own and absolutely his choice where he lives. But there?s an issue now - as I understand - because the dad isn?t worried about the child making this commute from his house on days when the child has stayed at his. As you say the journey is potentially too complex for a 10 year old especially if there are disruptions, if his dad is keen to have him stay over on school nights then the onus should be be on him to get his son safely to school. Bellenden Belle is right to go with her gut instincts about what her son can manage rather than bend the logistics to suit an adult. hammerman Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I'm in the minority and I'm quite shocked that you > would send a 10 year old on this journey and > that's before they've even started their school > day.
  5. I think the chances that the dog reads the forum are slim. It feels thoroughly unfair that the goose can?t be returned to his family, this is a really sad outcome.
  6. I think there was a wedding reception above the Rosendale yesterday you could ring them?
  7. Please sign this petition to try to improve the postal service in SE22 and local area. A postman told me yesterday that there are ?untold trolleys? of unsorted letters and parcels still in their sacks at the sorting office in Highshore road. Some have been sitting there for months. We are still waiting for numerous letters, parcels and legal documents sent to us from as far back as the autumn. At our house on upland road we?ve had maybe 6 deliveries in 4 months and then it?s generally circulars not the letters or packages that we?re actually expecting or need. https://www.change.org/p/residents-of-east-dulwich-fix-the-broken-postal-service-in-east-dulwich?recruiter=false&utm_source=share_petition&utm_medium=facebook&utm_campaign=psf_combo_share_initial&utm_term=share_petition&recruited_by_id=e30f0c00-6fe9-11ec-ab1b-61f3261bdfc0&utm_content=fht-31959587-en-gb%3A6
  8. Goodnight and god bless. I genuinely hope that 2022 brings you some relief
  9. Thanks for mansplaining that to me Nigello. I don?t think this will penetrate even remotely but having an opinion isn?t ?ranting.? I, like you, am an adult. I understand and have gone through the official processes of complaint. My post wasn?t an attempt to force change at DMC - no one would be foolish enough to consider that a possibility. As I touched upon, the British Medical Council have been contacted by several parties to alert them to the fact that the modus operandi of DMC is negligent to a life threatening extent for some of their patients. So far that has had no consequences. So no, emailing my MP isn?t going to cut it sadly. If only it were that simple. Please refrain from condescendingly telling women to stop ?ranting? when they express an opinion that isn?t about rainbows and butterflies.
  10. I think the employees reviews on DMC are pretty much all you need to know. They are as shocked by the scandal of this surgery remaining open as the patients are. Below is an example of many of the reviews on glassdoor.co.uk 0 ★★★★★ Former Employee, more than 1 year Greed and incompetence 28 Sep 2020 ? Anonymous Employee Recommend CEO Approval Business Outlook Pros Some colleagues are fun and care, most are leaving though. Cons The NHS would do well to shut this outfit down. Money is the motivator, not patient care. It explains why there are too few staff that understand what a good service looks like. Those that are good, are not supported to deliver a good service and invariably leave or are hounded out through the bullying management from the family. The family run the business like every penny is their own, having to give any of it away to staff in miserly pay or suppliers is an affront to them. The link to being contracted to perform a service and actually delivering that service doesn't register with them. The NHS would do well to realise the money they are pouring into this outfit is largely squirrelled into the pockets of the owners and all their feckless family members to subsidise their house building projects. If this was a finance institution, they would be locked up for chronic mis-management and public endangerment. Take heed of the warnings on here. Do not join this company unless you enjoy chaos and bullying by people who will always look down on you. They have been handsomely rewarded by such behaviour in the past so think its ok or even good business. Current contract losses would suggest otherwise, but they won't see that. Advice to Management Shut down your business, stop harming patients and the mental health of staff. Do so before the law catches up with you. Another employee review site tells an identical story https://uk.indeed.com/cmp/Dmc-Healthcare/reviews?fcountry=ALL
  11. You can walk in at Tessa Jowell On Weds, Thurs or Saturday from 9-5
  12. If you do go for Cook then it?s always good to book your food as soon as possible as they get stupendously booked up weeks before Christmas! You can pick up from the west Dulwich shop or they deliver if it?s over ?30. Their puddings are really nice too!
  13. Hi Sue, You could always go for a local drink and take the effort out of cooking by ordering the veggie or vegan Christmas meal from Cook in West Dulwich. We did this one year (not the veggie option but same principle) and it was great! https://www.cookfood.net/menu/christmas/vegetarian-dishes
