  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
  14. I noticed signs very clearly when getting off bus with my cat to go to vets last sat. Very obvious imho. Have to say being able to park outside vets was an absolute necessity when going to and from vets/emergency vets with our gravely ill dog.
  15. yes, v low water pressure here too - top end of Lordship lane by library
  16. New timetable - all direct trains from east Dulwich/north Dulwich to Wimbledon are cancelled from Monday. These are packed already so God knows how we will get to work now. Can change at Tulse Hill on to thameslink but that is a)unreliable and b) very busy already. Will email Helen Hayes and Sadiq - this is just a nightmare. My only realistic option will be overground from Denmark hill and then change at Clapham junction which is more costly.
  17. Hi Looking for a pub or similar with a wooden floor as potential place to host northern soul dance classes. Any thoughts? Ideas on price to hire per hour? Many thanks M
  18. Hi This cat has been coming in our house for ages - sprays and eats our cats food. Not sure if it is lost but it is very hungry all the time. Becoming a pain to be honest as it sprays. very timid. If anyone knows it please PM me
  19. Hi Just to say we have had lots of work done by Gardenia - clearance, a new lawn, decking for shed, slabs relaid. Would highly recommend - has rebuilt our faith in local services after being badly stung a while back. If anyone wants more detail or even to take a peek at the work pm me. Helen and team were really efficient and friendly.
  20. Hi i need to get this done - any recommendations? thanks
  21. Found a package two days ago on our doorstep containing an old fashioned paper embosser with our address on it. Clearly dates from the time before postcodes. Just SE. Returned to its home by Christine who had bought it in a box of old bits according to the note left with it. So kind. It would have belonged to the man who lived here for c50 years before us. He worked at a printers. Feels like part of the house's history. Hope you see this. Thank you.
  22. Hi Interested in what might be available in August this year for 12 yo girl. More interested in sport than drama. Need to cover whole days rather than just am/pm. She's now getting a bit old for her usual clubs and some of these only go up to age 12. Many thanks
