  1. Agreed. I?ve recently become a wheelchair user and it?s really opened my eyes. Simple things like dropped curbs having too big a lip, people parking over them, cobbled streets, small pavers that come up. Tree roots are an issue but the surroundings could be smoothed rather than removing the trees which no one wants. Others? oblivious behaviour is more difficult. I just think there are some people who are aware of others and those who live in their own bubble.
  2. Hi I?m undergoing cancer treatment at the moment and hoping to find someone who is trained in massage for cancer patients to give some light massage eg hands, feet, shoulders, head. Ideally in my home as I?m often very weak and tired. Happy to pay. Any recommendations much appreciated
  3. This affects me so badly. I?m undergoing cancer treatment at Guy?s. being able to get a seat, not have to change then level walk made all the difference yesterday. Probably my last time able to do that journey and make it albeit exhausted. I did make the point in the TfL consultation. Guy?s is centre for most cancer treatment now. Bus, train from Ed then longer walk with the equivalent of 20kg lead weights tied to your legs will just be too much. I?m lucky, I can afford a cab but that?s just bonkers.
  4. Hi. My 84 yo father has just moved to ED. Is there any info on local activities/clubs he might get involved in? He was very active in his Men's Shed in Ireland and will try the ones in Peckham and Penge but if folk know of anything similar or just fun activities for older folk please let me know. He's reasonably active, a bit forgetful and very sociable/good company. ex engineer.
  5. Hi, yes, I had extensive work done and he was great. excellent work and vey nice guy. Not cheap but worth it.
  6. Have responded and added comments around disability impact to equality impact section. Would ask others to do the same. This really is a major issue for patients attending Guy's. The 42 bus is just not a reasonable alternative. I know it's hard to imagine but if you're not well or suffering from side effects of chemo 100 meters is a very long way (a marathon as said above) let alone trying to navigate crowded places such as London Bridge or bus interchanges. Thanks all
  7. Guy's is now main cancer treatment centre for SE London. Recently diagnosed, I know that I will need to use 40 rather than train to get to outpatients for chemo. Shorter walk to bus stop, no need to change and pretty much guaranteed a seat make it the only realistic alternative to a cab. If you're fit and well the train to lb is faster if more expensive. It's a completely different prospect if you're unwell or just slow on your pins
  8. Hi, DD is in yr 11. Doing all 3 sciences. We're looking for someone to help her fill in gaps in attention/understanding. Ideally mon or Tuesday evenings. Possibly to help with Maths too. Pm with details. Many thanks
  9. Clearly I have missed this somehow. Feel a right eejit. Note to self : drink Much less beer, wine and learn fine art of compacting plastic bottles and cans. Meanwhile if you see a mad woman jumping up and down on top of blue bin contents you'll know why
  10. When did the recycling bin collection change to every two weeks? We easily fill our big blue bin every week so will have to put a weeks worth of recycling into the normal bin. This just seems daft? How are others managing? We must have missed the notification as it was every week until Xmas. I assume this is a result of cuts
  11. Hi DD (13) would like some support in Maths and science. Any recs with availability please? many thanks for any help
  12. Count me in. Think Peckham soul do northern soul nights every so often
  13. Happened to hubby last night standing outside Alleyns waiting for DD c9pm
