But that's exactly my point! Ms does not denote marital status, in exactly the same way that Mr does not denote marital status. And I thought that "master" used to be used for young boys, though I don't know at what age they became "mister/Mr". And I know many women who are quite happy to use Miss and Mrs. Each to their own 🙂 But to the best of my knowledge adult men have never acknowledged their marital status by changing their title. I wonder why that would be 🙄

I agree. There is a safety issue, as well as a noise issue, which may affect others as well as the person letting of the fireworks. My sister once had a burning rocket land on her head.

Well done, Bob Buzzard! 🤣🤣🤣

First post. Obvious troll. Usual suspect's latest incarnation, I suspect 🙄 Don't bite 🙄

I did it. It took me ages, as there were so many options! There is one error where the survey asks how you think decisions should be made on public art. One of the options is "showcasing a shortlist". But it doesn't say how the winner is then chosen from the shortlist! And you are only allowed to choose one option 🙄 I had to choose "other" and then combine two of the options 🙄

😮

Grey

I had no reaction to my first two jabs, but two days after the booster I felt quite ill and headachey. May be unrelated but there was no obvious other reason. They were all Pfizer.

Same at The Gardens. I'm glad they are taking precautions, unlike it seems most other places now 🙄

Somebody in cardiac arrest. I don't think there was any criminal activity involved. Pulse returned after some considerable time and person taken to hospital.

I've recently received a letter dated 17 September (thanks Royal Mail) which says "People over the age of 12 who were severely immuno-suppressed at or around the the time of their first or second dose should be offered a third dose of the vaccine to increase their chances of being protected against Covid-19 as part of their primary immunisation course ....... not everyone receiving this letter will be eligible for a third dose." and "Separately, the JCVI has published advice on the vaccine booster programme ...... it recommends that 'individuals who received vaccination in Phase 1 of the Covid-19 vaccination programme (priority groups 1 to 9) should be offered a third dose Covid-19 booster vaccine .

I'm immune suppressed, and one of the invites said I was in a priority group (I can't remember the exact wording) but I'm pretty sure they all said booster.

Is that still the case? It's a long time since there was a Somerfields in Lordship Lane?

Thanks James. I've just had a package today which says on it "delivery by 28 September". And my book posted to me on 3 September still hasn't arrived, but the same book (well obviously not the actual same book) I then ordered from somewhere else weeks later in desperation arrived two days ago (also sent by Royal Mail). So it appears they are not working through a backlog in order of arrival at the delivery office, but getting newer items delivered first.

One from Guys (where I had my first two jabs) and then one from my GP (who told me recently when I asked that the invite would not come from them but centrally from the NHS, hey ho). So - the central one which came first led to a page which listed the local centres, but there was nothing in East Dulwich, it was either Denmark Hill Vaccination Centre ie Kings or a pharmacy in Herne Hill. So I opted for the Denmark Hill one. The GP one leads to a link where I could book in either at Tessa Jowell or the Lister. I could cancel the first one, which I booked, and go for Tessa Jowell, but I'm just going to leave it at Kings. They all said booster, not third jab, but surely they are the same thing????? I'm just grateful to be getting it at all! I could have gone tomorrow (!!!!) but I sprained my back yesterday (pause for sympathy) so I'm going next week, hooray!

Just booked my third jab at the Denmark Hill Vaccination Site, which is apparently in the Weston Education Centre. This is shown on the KCH site map, but it's not at all clear how to get to it, as if you google it, it says it is located in Denmark Hill, but its address is shown as 10 Cutcombe Road! and there is no Cutcombe Road marked on the site map! The centre seems to be nearer Coldharbour Lane than Denmark Hill! Can anybody shed any light? Do you just keep going past the other hospital buildings (Jubilee Wing etc) and then turn right? I'm assuming it will be well signposted, but not banking on it! ETA: I've just done what I should have done before posting this, and looked it up on Google Maps, and yes it seems that is how you get there, DUH.

Thanks :)

I agree.

I can't tell a lie
