And yes in my view the road closures would be less bad if they were building something else - something of use to the wider community, for example.

How many people do you know who have ever become ill through drinking out of a contaminated can?

If there is a common reason, and if it is connected with the way the practice is run, I'd like to know what the practice intends to do to ensure that it can recruit and retain competent replacement staff. Otherwise this situation will just keep repeating itself. ETA: And surely they can get temps to cover the phones? I realise dealing with callers with medical issues is not like being in a call centre, but surely anything would be better than nothing, even if they have to take messages and get somebody else to call a person back? Surely anybody can get to grips with an appointment system so that at least callers could make appointments?

SteveUK1978 Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > > The owner must have a friend on the planning > committee xxxxxx Or as BNG says above, brown envelopes and cash have been involved. Surely obtaining planning permission must take into account unreasonable disruption to others? ETA: It's not like it's a new medical centre or something, where the longer term advantage would outweigh the shorter term disruption. It's a bloody private swimming pool!

It's an unusual name. Googling it brings up (apart from the Linked In link) an Elisa Onuoha living in SE6, with a link to her full address. OK it may be a completely different person, but she could either have moved from that address or moved to that address, so worth investigating? It's on 192.com and from quite old electoral records, but if you still don't want to open the letter/s and you still want to contact her, it's probably your only hope (unless the council might help?) http://www.192.com/atoz/people/onuoha/elisa/se6/3861068667/

I have emailed Jenny Sargeant the following (I live just round the corner): I understand that Crawthew Road is to be closed because somebody wants to build a swimming pool in their basement. Please could you explain why residents, visitors and people who work in the area should be inconvenienced for such a very long time for the benefit of people owning one house, and how this swimming pool came to get planning permission in the first place? Thank you.

It could be funny - but it just doesn't ring true, sorry ....

You can ask to see whatever GP you want. If you don't, then you probably won't see the same GP twice .....

It was > Kings who found the cancer xxxxx Easy to criticise, but with rare conditions doctors often have little knowledge/experience of what to look for and what a particular set of symptoms may indicate. I'm not defending them, far from it in light of my daughter's experience, but I do understand it. Good for her for persisting.

I was on ATV Junior Club somewhere around 1955 or 1956, when I was six. I "won" a competition - in fact, my father had told me the answers and then rushed down the road to post off the entry postcard so it would get there first. Don't blame me, I was only six and had a very competitive father :( They gave me some sort of needlework box as a prize, and it was so large I dropped it. It was all live in those days, so that was probably rather embarrassing for my mother watching proudly at home. They asked me to sing a song, so I sang Away in a Manger (hopefully it was near Christmas). They said I was the first child who had ever actually agreed to sing :)) :)) :)) Shame they didn't record TV in those days (so far as I know), I could have embarrassed my family for ever :)) The second time I was on t'telly was around 1966 when Lambeth had a school exchange programme with Moskvoretsky (sp?) a suburb of Moscow, and I got to go. It was the first ever exchange with Russia and quite a big deal given the year. Don't remember much about the telly programme but I do remember the Streatham News making up and printing a whole load of stuff I never said, since when I have never trusted the press. Celebrity, eh :)

"Firstly I'd like to stress that it isn't against the law to dress up as a clown," Mr Edwards added.

More positive potentially in this case than the "up to 99% off" version, I feel.

So the restaurant at The Patch is apparently now open http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?30,1225779 Has anybody else been to it apart from the person starting the thread above? Sounds like their portion control needs tweaking (or else eat before you go) ..... ETA: Though I bear in mind that the person who started the other thread appears only to have made two posts on the forum, so bushel of salt and all that ....

That is bloody ridiculous. A whole road closing, with massive inconvenience to the people who use it, just so some ****** (fill in asterisks as you will) can have a bloody BASEMENT SWIMMING POOL? Closing for EIGHTEEN MONTHS??? There's an f-ing leisure centre with a swimming pool within a stone's throw of Crawthew Road! Is this what ED has come to? I feel my urge to move to Nunhead increasing by the minute ..... :( :( :( ETA: Please tell me I'm in a time warp, and it's actually April Fool's Day .....
