I have one in a pot which has kept going for a good few years now. You do have to make sure it is pot grown and not just dug up and shoved in a pot with its roots cut off to fit the pot, though! Mind you I do have an allotment to keep it on!

Missed appointment fee??? 😮 How much?

She shouldn't be working in a job where she has to deal face to face with patients. The other admin sraff and medical staff must be aware, so if she is like it with everyone I find it hard to understand why she is still there.

How do you find out which cabinet you are connected to?

There is a shortage of GPs because so many are either retiring or going part-time, and newly qualified doctors are not keen to become GPs any more (and who can blame them?) So I've read. I've also read that existing GPs presently have 300 more patients each than they used to.

It definitely is not fine. I know Plusnet are owned by BT, but do they use the same external hardware or whatever it is in the junction boxes, etc? rupert james, that's appalling but doesn't surprise me. Try contacting BT's CEO, that usually brings results!

Monkey Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > The Gardens Surgery is fantastic. I?m hesitating > to move because I don? want to switch GP. I recently changed to The Gardens, and I'm very happy with my experiences so far (apart from one very non-welcoming non-medic, I presume one of the admin people, when I went for my "new patient session" with the nurse, but perhaps she was having an off day). The nurse and GPs have been excellent, though I have had to wait for appointments, but the issues weren't urgent. The GP appointments were all on the phone but I was very happy with the outcomes and referrals. So far much better than the two practices I was with previously in the area. ETA: Depending on what the issue is, you can sometimes circumvent your GP (if you can't get an appointment) by phoning 111. The triage process is a bit of a pain, but once you get to speak to a doctor, you can get an appointment with a GP (not your own) if they think it is necessary, or an A&E/minor injuries appointment ditto, on the same day (in my experience, things might have changed given the current situation with the NHS).

Does anybody know what the old electrical supplies shop at the Actress end of North Cross Road is going to be?

I am with Plusnet, and I don't think the actual broadband was down in my area (around North Cross Road) but I am having constant problems over perhaps the last month as my WiFi keeps cutting out. It has done again about an hour ago. When I spoke to Plusnet when it first happened, they said all was fine at their end and to reset/unplug the router, which I did and this worked, but it keeps happening and it never has before. It is really annoying as I have to keep unplugging/replugging everything eg printer, resetting stuff on my laptop, etc.. Does anybody else get this? Is it just Plusnet, could it be a faulty router, or is there something amiss with my system somewhere? I have a WiFi extender in the hall, but it's all been fine until recently.

They keep that very quiet 😮

It used to be that dentists did a clean and polish as an integral part of every checkup, but not any more, I dont think, unless they take pity on you 😬

Yes. And it's a very friendly pub.

Hopefully they will see this and remove it.

🤣

Yes, that is a bit close 😮 I had to Google the road.

Someone in my road has had a large bag of sand standing in the road outside their house for weeks (possibly months, I can't remember when it first appeared). At first I assumed this was to save a space for the arrival of a skip, or for builders' vehicles etc, but the bag of sand is never moved, so vehicles delivering or collecting materials from the house have to park alongside the bag of sand, blocking the road. Meanwhile, nobody can park there. Is that a) allowed and b) reasonable?
