Monkey

Walking, driving and cycling around, I?m constantly wondering how people passed their driving test (if indeed they have). This includes the imbecile who couldn?t do a three-point-turn on Townley Road last week and nearly hit a lady walking on the pavement. Utterly fed up to see cyclists blamed for everything all the time when the standard of driving around here is piss poor.

I hope he has!

When I got ill after having my daughter and needed urgent course of antibiotics, I tried to call them for three hours and never went through. Had to send my husband who arrived to find the practice super quiet with two receptionists doing not very much. Never got to the bottom of what happened. I actually hate DMC.

Pugwash, are the community policing meetings you used to organise still happening during these Covid times? I will definitely turn up at the next one and suggest as many people as possible do. I know the police are understaffed but if we say/do nothing, it will only get worse. @Monniemae, Malumbu, so sorry to hear about your experiences. Thank you.

The police are a complete disgrace. Bunch of useless, useless people. I've lost all respect. I hope the cyclist is okay. Sending much love and support. I've emailed this report to the London Cycling Campaign.

Agree, Cora. A couple of years ago they blamed too many pregnant employees for the poor service. I wish I had kept that letter.

The Gardens Surgery is fantastic. I?m hesitating to move because I don? want to switch GP.

So sorry for your loss, Missse22. Our thoughts are with you. Take care.

Really sorry to hear. Do ask neighbours to check ring bells. And I think you could put pressure on the police a bit. Have they not visited at the very least?

I can?t see anything on https://www.london-fire.gov.uk/incidents/

Hello. Looking for a science tutor for my year 8 daughter. I?d need someone enthusiastic, who can help trigger an interest in the topic, very clear and structured. Thank you.

Is this about the widening of the pavements?

What a terrifying experience. All my love to these poor people. And well done to that brave child who?s done so well and kept calm.

Tough one! Daughter is in year 8 but youngest in class so just turned 12. Not travelling to school on her own and has just started on a couple of occasions to meet friends in the park for short periods of time. She?s not asking for more and we?re not offering!

I don?t think the police looks too hard into anything these days. You send them pics (and In my case video footage of a theft) and they don?t even get back.

All applicants to Deptford Green were offered a place last year: https://lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/education/schools/school-admission/applying-to-start-secondary-school/school-admission-distance-map

It's all pretty common, I think... Like you I grew up abroad and struggled with the lack of information at primary school. It was difficult to get test results for example and all we got was meet/exceed standard. However, our daughter was aware she was sitting tests and did get homework from year 1. I don't know if it helped her with the transition to secondary school to be honest as the type of homework she got in year 7 was very different to what she was getting at primary school.

Well I would report to the police but don?t hold your breath. Police had the footage from our doorbell and potential ID and did nothing. They?re completely understaffed. If it?s the person I think it is, he has a string of convictions (something crazy like 30 or 40 including one for armed robbery so do not approach.) We?ve teamed up with neighbours and take all parcels in as soon as we see them now.

I don?t know about the water issue but I welcome the pavement widening. I?m noticing more and more appalling driving in the area and I think it important to take any measure necessary to slow down cars.

Thoughts with anyone injured.

Oh damn it. I did hear a drilling noise and thought who?s doing work at this time. It didn?t last long though which is why I didn?t get up to check?

I employed someone to fix a leak in our gutters and now have ? four leaks. Looking for someone with recommendations who could come this Friday, please. Only serious and honest people, please.

I had another excellent fitting at Biff today.
