To be fair, which I know is difficult in this situation, a GP will presumably have a certain amount of time allocated to different tasks within a day, and extending the time for a prescription check in order to discuss other things as well would affect their whole day's timetable, including time already allocated to other tasks and patients. There must be other practices within the same catchment area which people unhappy with this one could join? I can't understand why people aren't leaving it and going elsewhere. It's a very easy process.

Is all this solely down to James McCash? And do you have evidence that he has "utterly disregarded" the needs of the groups of people you name? That seems very harsh. Or has he balanced those needs (or tried to) against other needs? To be clear, I know very little about his recent behaviour, so I am not taking sides here. He just impressed me when he first became a councillor.

Have you reported it to the police?

There was a mass exodus from the local Labour Party meetings soon after Keir Starmer took over (including me). I believe all or most of those who stopped going to the meetings also gave up their Labour Party membership (including me). I'm not sure how relevant this is to the thread (I'm sure admin will act accordingly) but Starmer has moved Labour so far to the right, amongst other things, I am not sure that I can bring myself to vote Labour at a general election. So (coming back to the topic of the thread) I am pleased to see someone active in local politics who still seems to stand for what I have always naively thought the Labour Party was supposed to stand for.

Thanks very much for this, but unfortunately the instructions don't relate to what appears when I follow them! Possibly I have a different version of Firefox? I will investigate further!

I often see swifts over my house and garden in the Summer (Ulverscroft Road) but sadly the front of my house isn't suitable for a swift box. I did once investigate putting one up at the back myself, but I never got round to it, and unfortunately it's not very high on my present list of priorities 🙄 I do hope someone else nearby will have one installed. Fingers crossed!

Good for James McCash. He seems to be a proactive and responsive councillor. Pity some people saw fit to give him such a hard time on this forum when he had only just taken up post.

😂😂😂 Lucky you, whatever it is!

This is a stupid question, but has anybody raised these issues with the GPs at the practice? Are they aware of the situation, and if so isn't there some pressure they can bring to bear to change it?

A pic of The Ivy House in Stuart Road Nunhead would be nice! London's first community owned pub!

🤢🤮

Self appointed Forum police here. Shouldn't this thread be in the lounge? 😂

That's terrible. All of it.

I just opened Firefox on my laptop, and all my tabs and history have disappeared. Including all my emails 😮 Tried to restore them and nothing happened. There is a new folder on my desktop called "Old Firefox Data' with a load of incomprehensible (to me) files dated today. Can anybody shed any light? 😮 Googling hasn't brought up anything useful, but I haven't searched very hard yet. I can access emails on my mobile, but this is very inconvenient!

If that was a link,it doesn't work. Or was that what the slogan said? Oh ok I googled and found this:

You are very lucky, Malumbu. I mostly get large numbers of sparrows and a few very greedy wood pigeons. And the occasional robin ❤️

Did the slogan not give a clue as to why this was done? What was it? I googled yesterday and couldn't find anything online about this.

What was the slogan? Lots of criminality at Barclays? Old school thieves? Are we talking scams at the ATMs, people being robbed after getting cash out, or what?

I thought it had already closed!

I think you may mean spawn rather than sperm? 😂 But yes, toads do it in long strands. https://www.countryfile.com/wildlife/guide-to-frogs-and-toads-when-do-frogs-spawn-and-how-to-care-for-them
