no experience, but found this on council website.... apologies if you have already seen. https://www.southwark.gov.uk/home-owners-services/buying-selling-subletting-and-remortgaging/buying-unused-areas-or-space-in-your-building

This isn't debate. Nor should trans people be debated. Why would I want to share any views I have on here? It's very clear, that any views which don't align with yours and Alexander2022, are not of value.

Perhaps that's because we can't be bothered? Like the saying....don't feed the trolls. However, basic respect for another human being should ALWAYS be challenged.

You have just talked about a trans woman you know - I am guessing SHE identifies as female. Therefore, you should be referring to her appropriately, not misgendering her. Why should she use male toilets or male changing rooms? She isn't male. Which toilets and changing rooms would you be expecting trans men to use? Think about it carefully.

So you're basing your ideas about trans people on blue haired spicy straights and an old transsexual who was a gay man and regretted transition? Sad. You need to get out more and meet some trans people. Put some effort into doing so instead of moaning about a minority group you know nothing about behind your screen.

Wondering how many of you commenting have actually met or even know a trans person or, at the very least, have had a conversation with a trans person to find out what it's like living in the UK right now as a trans person.

It's been fixed for a while now.

When I searched a month ago, there weren't.

There's one Clapham Common way https://thecactusclub.co.uk/

Pool temperature is now sorted as are showers after 2 weeks plus. The changing room however, continues to be very cold. Not as cold though, as section you have to walk through to get to it.

The pool itself is not cold, around 26/27, but the changing rooms are like ice. Shivery cold. Showers are luke warm. Not a nice experience coming out of the pool.

I had to cancel a session recently at short notice due to illness. I was easily able to transfer the payment and the session to another week by phone. I imagine you could do this more than once if necessary. The person I spoke to was helpful. Also, I had previously been told that you can just turn up without having booked, but they can't guarantee you will get in Surely they have to have some limit on numbers or there would be no space for people to actually swim? I go to lane swimming, don't know what the other kinds of sessions are like, but there would just be jams if they had many more people there! Maybe try and find out which sessions attract the least people and/or the most cancellations/no shows? Many people just don't turn up when the days are short and cold, I think. Why not discuss your situation with the swimming manager there? His name is Peter and he has an office somewhere behind the reception area. I imagine you could just ask for him at reception, or maybe phone to book an appointment? Or write a letter and hand it in at reception and they will put it on his desk, which is what I did (about something else). I don't know if he has an email address. Don't forget to include your contact details and/or your Everyone Active membership number! Thanks for the reply Sue. I would be doing a slow lane swim, and it would very likely have to be a middayish one. I am a bit limited with times, again for health reasons. I just think swimming, and any exercise, should be stress free, without pressure or any feeling of guilt! It's bad enough feeling guilty for not doing any :-D I suspect it will be in the new year for me now.

The booking system has basically stopped me even attempting to go swimming. I don't seem to be able to book anything. The whole system is very ableist. For health reasons, I can't predict if I will be able to go swimming at the pre-booked time, (if I could actually get a space) and would potentially have to cancel at very short notice, which I believe has some form of penalty.

There's also an external fee one at a newsagent, opposite the Tessa Jowell centre.

I would never have known this, and I am glad I do now. Really shocked that someone would knowingly use a slur for the name of their business! I think it is really important to bring this to everyone who will listen/read. I also wondered if it might be worth contacting local councillors/mp's as obviously it isn't a great look for East Dulwich.

bit late to the party, but I just wanted to agree, he really is a lovely guy and in my experience very honest and helpful.

I would initially suggest you speak to the practice manager. If you are happy with all other aspects of the surgery, i.e. the GP's.

I would have been 11, but we lived on the west coast of Scotland. It was still hot even there, and I do remember the tarmac was very soft. As kids, we spent a lot of time in the water of Loch Etive, which was about 10 mins walk.

Our bins on Trossachs were emptied this morning. Can't imagine what it's like for them doing that in this heat.

This particular moped rider, as mentioned in the initial post, is doing wheelies down the roads mentioned. It is a matter of time until he loses control and crashes into a car. I doubt he will stick around to give his details. He is also pretty unpleasant and aggressive, and certainly doesn't like his antics to be recorded in any format. He lives either on Glengarry, Tarbert or Thorncombe.

As far as I can remember, it isn't related to this message board at all. This one has been going for a long time and the facebook one not so long. I am sure an admin would know.

There is a Facebook group with the same name. If you are just googling the forum name, that is probably coming up. If I google it, the first one is the Facebook one, but the second one is this one. They are not the same group though.

I had an issue some years ago at ED pool. I couldn't find anywhere above the managers to make a complaint. It's incredibly difficult. In the end, my complaint about the manager, went to the manager. No response, obviously. Whoeveritis Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > Does anyone know who is the top person to contact > at everyone active ?

I have used plusnet mobile for quite a few years now. I find it excellent. Not had any issues at all. Prices are good, especially if you have a broadband deal with them.
