The guidance is to allow 6 months and 1 week to pass before you have your booster (third vaccine). You can go online to book your booster dose at the following NHS webpage https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/coronavirus-covid-19/coronavirus-vaccination/book-coronavirus-vaccination/book-or-manage-a-booster-dose-of-the-coronavirus-covid-19-vaccine/

Brown bin collection - Council starting to charge?
Dame Dulwich replied to slarti b's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Countrlass22: Similar situation to you, I also had the bin man yesterday reading me the riot act about how I had to subscribe or loose the bin. I told him it was a cheek imposing this policy which is against the government recommendations nd I rather loose the bin than play their scare tactic games. How Southwark council are imposing this with no thought of the long term consiqence to the service only for the point of making money becaue they have sold all their land to private investors with no long term revenue, and by failing to maintain their housing properties they are facing high compensation legal battles from thousands of residents. He repeatedly defended their decision but as I reminded him, this is the people at the top bringing this in yet its the guys on the front line who have to suffer the fall out effects. His defending example was that Thames Water done the same to all Southwark residents but as I said, water is a service each of us cannot live without. Which bin to put your garden waste in to on the other hand..... This is the most stupid idea they have come up with so far. What really do they think will happen? People will not pay and will bag all their garden waste and chucj ibn the green bin. Recycling rates will drop for the Borough. Over time they will have no choice but to reverse this decision. Another stupid money making scheme just like the controlled parking which is still ongoing! -

So take care who you wind > up ;) Well done. At least a few of us on here understand what was the initial intention of dmac_1000. Dmac...you done the right thing. I just wish there were more of us in society who actually took an interest in our surroundings and attempt to target the antisocial behaviour displayed by the trash!! -
Electoral role ( I am being removed from..)
Dame Dulwich replied to Jennys's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
I also received this letter and had to send in a clear copy of my passport. Today Southwark have emailed me to confirm they have `added me` to the list... Amusing as i have been in this house for approx five years and voted during this time. I was asked to confirm online and I know this is where the error occurred as afterwards I would receive two of every letter related to this. Result: Dodgy gov.UK website!!

Seek advice from a solicitor and inform Southwark you are taking legal action due to their shoddy works. You'll be amazed just how quickly they'll reply and remedy. Maybe you should all get together using this forum or maybe more effectively, a leaflet in residents doors system so all unsatisfied residents in the blocks group together for mass compensation. Arrange to meet in a community hall to discuss. Group force will definitely get you the works you expect.

A cautionary tale picking a handyman from the forum
Dame Dulwich replied to Fuschia's topic in Request a Tradesperson
Dear Fuscia, So sorry to hear of this, your original message and the problems you have had. I am always wary of the recommendations on here. Luckily I have found an experienced builder, plumber and electrition of great quality so I always return to this person for works! Something to also bring up is 'Trust a trader.com'. Be aware all that the traders on here join as they pay a subsctiption the website. So, those on it have not intially been elected by a customer, but pay to join as an advertising system. So many builders I know provide a wonderful service and great value but are never signed up to these types of services. Approach with caution!! Good luck in the future. -
Melbourne Grove Medical Practice
Dame Dulwich replied to Alexisbamboo's topic in Request a Tradesperson
After the major changes to the Health service which took place in April 2013, if you have any serious concerns of lack of care or where you want poor standards of care to be investigated, you need to contact NHS England. PALS is useless! http://www.england.nhs.uk/contact-us/complaint/ -
This is not going to be easy Oban. The law changed two years ago. If under 18 years there are two options - work experience or paid work. Problem with both is the staff working around anyone under the age of 18 years need to undergo a CRB check. Alot of employers do not want this hastle so dont bother. You will need to find an employer who does not know if this change and wish for the best! I understand the idea around child safety - but not the best way to give our younger members of society the opportunity to gain experience for their CV's. Very difficult and limiting. Good luck!

They just enter your front yard and root through all your stuff. Sure if they came across a metal detector they would not use it but shop it in!
