I'm happy to help, but I wasn't directly involved in the actual siting, building and planting of the garden. I have a book about it which was produced afterwards. I'll see if I can find it. We just held a fundraising gig at DHFC. Can't undertake to do another one. We are running a sea song and shanty night in aid of the RNLI at The Ivy House in February.

I recently had two PCNs re a ULEZ type scheme in central Bristol through which I was sadly directed by satnav. I appealed in both cases (not just blaming the satnav, but for various reasons I was totally oblivious to the fact I was supposed to be paying a charge, plus there were other factors). The appeals were both turned down, but the fines were both waived "as a goodwill gesture." Hooray! However I had to pay the two £9 charges within seven days (I think it was) of the date of service of the letters I got, both of which were sent on different days but arrived in the same post. I very narrowly avoided having to pay the fines - just scraped within the time limit of the first one and paid it on the last possible day. They had allowed two days for the letters to reach me. Hollow laugh.

I have never in any context heard it referred to as "King's Hospital". "King's", yes - that's how most people would refer to it except in formal correspondence.

Yes, it doesn't say much for JWilliams' journalistic skills that he can't even get the name of the hospital right, does it? 🙄

I don't know, sorry.

I can't believe I am writing this, but on the whole my post has improved lately. I had some stuff delivered which was 24 hour tracked and posted weeks previously, however since then I have been getting things within a week, including financial and medical things, and Private Eye delivered on time. I have however also had things marked "Do Not Bend" shoved through my letterbox (bent on arrival the other side) and I had to rescue a load of magazines (for resale) in a package which the postie was trying very hard to fit through my letterbox without success. Luckily I saw him (but not in time to salvage the bent mags within the package). 😭😭😭

I think the thread title doesn't presently make it clear that you are wanting comments on the council and councillors and not the borough in general?

Did they ever find her?

😭😭😭

I am going to the chemist opposite Nunhead Green which does walk in appointments. Easier than trying to get to places at a particular time, given that none of them are in East Dulwich.

I'm sure I had last year's Covid jab at The Gardens (asked for and was given it at the same time as my flu jab). I'm absolutely sure I've never had one anywhere else, and I was hoping to have one at the same time as a forthcoming face to face appointment for something else But the receptionist insists they have "never done Covid jabs". Has anyone else ever had one at this surgery, or is my memory even worse than I thought?!

If you change from windows to apple,do you then have to change from an Android phone to an iPhone?

😡😡😡

To be fair, not all politicians are liars. It just sometimes seems that way.

😡 This makes me very angry. And sad My partner and I (The Goose Is Out!) ran a fundraising gig to help raise money to build the physic garden, and it had a particular place in our hearts. A lot of people put a lot of love, time and effort into building and maintaining that garden. I completely agree with heart block's post about who deserves a community garden more. What have Southwark Council got to say about their priorities here? If anything 😡

❤️❤️❤️

Wouldn't the libraries know which it is?

I see she does acupuncture, but it seems to be for physio type problems?

Has anyone had acupuncture locally with somebody they can unreservedly recommend?

Well that would put a great many people out of a job, wouldn't it, quite apart from any other consideration 🙄

You can get them online. Eg Asda apparently have them at 2kg for £2.50 Locally, Khan's in Peckham will almost certainly be cheaper than SMBS, and probably have more choice.

🤣 But I was quite happy to receive updates about this particular issue, just not other stuff (which I imagine would have included asking for donations).

I got a flyer through the door, as I imagine most people did, with a QR code etc to complete a local Labour Party survey on the closure of the station ticket office. All was fine until I got right to the end, where there is no way to submit the survey without opting in to receive communications from the Labour Party, including by phone, even if you are registered with the Telephone Preference Service. To be clear, that is apparently any communication, not just communications about this specific issue. It says you can opt out in future - but you can't opt out at this point. I think this is really sneaky. I am no longer a member of the Labour Party, and whilst I think Helen Hayes is an excellent and committed constituency MP, I opted out of communications from her at the same time as I left the Labour Party. The reason I didn't reply by post was because I thought it would still be sitting in the sorting office in a year's time. However I have just looked at the form and I see that in very tiny font at the bottom it says exactly the same thing about opting in. I have made my feelings known in the comments section of the survey, but I wonder what other people think about this?

I couldn't delete the emoji when editing the quoted post above. Not sure if that's a forum glitch or my own ineptitude. I think unfortunately some people think about their gardens in complete isolation from any other context apart from their own convenience and preferences 😭
