Not completely sure but this seems the case…..

Hi Sue I think I haven't been clear a) the caller didn't get through security - the fraudsters made the request over the phone and the bank became suspicious. They therefore called my partner directly. I don't know what made them suspicious but I guess it was either a lack of security info or incorrect info b) To be safe the bank cancelled his card and sent him another. As this new card never arrived and was then later used, we reckon this was intercepted - perhaps the fraudsters knew all along a new card was going to be sent??

I just wanted to check if any of you in the area are experiencing similar things. A few months ago the fraud dept of my partner's banks asked that he get in touch. he replied (via the correct number) and was told someone had called them claiming to be him and requested a new credit card. He hadn't made this call. The bank cancelled everything and said they would send another. After a few days he checked online to find that a new card had been sent and had been already been used. He phoned the bank again and it was cancelled. The second new card arrived safely. This week we both received 2 letters from Vanquis bank (a bank we have never used) The first was a PIN number the second a letter requesting that we send ID in the post to them. The letters were real and matched the banks numbers on the website. We called them and it turns out someone had indeed tried to open accounts in our names. Needless to say the bank cancelled this and are investigating -it has been reported to the police. There is always one of us at home and no one else lives here, so therefore no access to our house to get letters. We think this means that the cards may have been intercepted prior to reaching us. Has anyone else had this? Thanks

Thank you everyone for your thoughts....I can see that this isn't absolutely clear so I think we need to get a decision confirmed through doctor or 111. Keep safe everyone!

Thanks DuncanW That is what I had read and understood. However it makes no reference to a situation where the infected person continues to have symptoms after the 10 days and therefore could still be positive....

Thanks that is helpful Penguin68 !

Hi. My daughter is self isolating as she has covid. Her flat mate is also self isolating and as yet has no symptoms. The last day of isolation is this Monday. From what I have read on the gov website my daughter will have to continue to self isolate beyond Monday if her symptoms are still there. However, what is not clear is whether her flat mate will also need to continue. It seems to be suggesting that her flat mate can come out of isolation as long as she has no symptoms. Any thoughts? Thanks

Great idea and definitely needed!

Does anyone know if chiropractors are still open? Have a bad back and need to be ok for my NHS job.

Thanks Renata....I do understand the necessity.....but didn't know about Thames Water!

Fair enough.....I have only just seen that the parks are shut...just thought that it may allow for more space between people...but as you say its the behaviour....

Given how busy Peckham Rye has been recently and how we need both exercise and social distancing....it seems important that we open up new public spaces for exercise etc. The most obvious that I can think of is Aquarius Golf course. According to the website it is closed but I have seen the odd golfer using it today. What do people think? I might approach them....it's just unfortunate that they haven't offered it to us in the spirit of community kindness.

Thanks cella and mynamehere.....it is certainly frustrating! I might go down and see if I can find a cool spot....

Does anyone know if the gym at Dulwich leisure centre has air con that is working! I need it in this heat! Thanks

Does anyone know if Dulwich leisure centre is open today (good friday), easter sunday and monday as I can't find anything on the website.Thanks!

All done!Good luck milliegrace!

Definitely singalto! Plant plenty of bee friendly flowers - http://www.gardenersworld.com/plants/plant-inspiration/plants-for-bees/ Sorry you lost your bees Chick - they must have come through winter well to have swarmed so early! I lost a hive....:(

Thanks lizbells6.....will checkout Burgess Park and BBKA. D

Hello Has anyone used top bar beehives. I am currently using the national hives and am planning to move to TB's. If so I would love to pick your brains! Thanks D

Thanks Jeremy. Thats what I hoped as I am going via London Bridge at the moment!

Just working out the best route to a new job.....,how reliable are the morning trains from Peckham Rye to Farringdon?? Thanks!

Thanks Pugwash...we haven't got to grips with the finance side but she will certainly be paying part of it but we need to speak to social care to get more detail about how it works. Will check out Abbeyfield and Castlebar. Think this process might take some time but rather do it slowly and get somewhere that suits her.
