The number of times I have had to ask for a priority seat because Mum is busy looking at her phone with small child sitting on next seat...

I'd be tempted to complain to the restaurant. Afterall, you were patrons as well. The restaurant should be in control of what happens inside its doors, including bullying behaviour.

Elderly people can be rude sometimes. Didn't the staff/manager at Pizza Express get involved?

Her social background (whatever it might be) isn't the issue. Her behaviour is.

What a very immature, unfortunate young woman she is. And she doesn't practice what she preaches: From the Standard article: 'Her Instagram post came after in an interview with Dazed Digital on what she ?stands for? she said: ?If you want to say something, say it. I think as long as we are kind and gentle to others and, more importantly, ourselves then everything is bless.?'

I did not assert that bonfires are banned edhistory. I posted what was on the website for your information. Somewhere on the Southwark website it used to talk about frequency etc. in terms of nuisance, but I cannot find it at the moment. Perhaps you can?

Maybe he has escaped on his hols ...

From Southwark Council's website page 'The main causes of air pollution': http://www.southwark.gov.uk/air-quality/the-main-causes-of-air-pollution 'Bonfires Bonfires and any burning in the open generate smoke and odour. The plume will affect neighbouring properties making health issues worse, spoiling washing, preventing the enjoyment of gardens and outside spaces, making people close their windows, etc. Do not dispose of waste by burning. The whole borough is a designated Smoke Control Zone. Instead, re-cycle as much of your waste as possible.' (last updated 29 August 2017)

Usually I have had things sent via USPS (US Postal Service) who offer various services including a signed for service, but DHL and other international couriers would do it. How big is the item you're bringing? Remember to factor in potential customs duty etc.

Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS) would probably love them for their young families [www.sdcas.org.uk]. Super local charity with dedicated staff and volunteers.

A GP can administer first aid like any other person trained in first aid. It is disgraceful that a GP did not come out to talk to the OP and go to investigate. It sounds as if the patient needed basic first aid initially to ensure a clear airway etc. When a child was knocked over by a car outside the surgery (not the one at issue), during my appointment I might add, my GP went to help until the ambulance arrived.

You could see if Southwark Day Centre for Asylum Seekers (SDCAS) at the Copleston Centre might like them: www.sdcas.org.uk tel: 020 7732 0505 Email: [email protected] Wonderful charity in SE15.

You could contact SELDOC in the first instance. They might be able to suggest someone: www.seldoc.co.uk Tel: Patient line ? out of hours: 0208 693 9066 Opening hours are 6.30pm ? 8.00am on weekdays and 24 hours at weekends and bank holidays.

I don't give my address out until we've agreed a collection time. If they then don't turn up without an excuse, I give some leeway to rearrange before moving on to the next responder.

Morning Natty, I have been following recent developments on the thread and I would suggest taking a little time to explore some of the positive ideas that people have posted and messaged you. Why not take a break from the thread? - you can concentrate on seeing if any of the suggestions are helpful and constructive steps for you and avoid the negative comments which are clearly upsetting you. You can always return to the thread later on. Why not go to one of the walking meet-ups in the park, have a look at the bereavement website with the option to join meetings, and have a think about counselling? There are a lot of very good suggestions on the thread and I'm sure people have pm'd you good ideas as well. Why not concentrate on coping with your recent bereavement for now and think about meeting a new partner later on when you're feeling stronger and are coping better? The Forum has its limitations and maybe it is time to take the first steps by exploring some of the ideas posted. With best wishes, IlonaM

It does taste more like a plum than a cherry. The Guardian had an article about cherry plums: https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/wordofmouth/2011/jul/06/how-to-make-cherry-plum-wine

Morning Natty, You are right of course, counselling won't bring your Mum back but it will give you the opportunity to talk through your loss and your feelings. That can be very helpful. I know that if I bottle things up inside it can be like a pressure cooker which can make everything far more concentrated and stressful. Having someone to talk to can be like the valve allowing the build-up of pressure to escape. A counsellor could also give you ways to cope with the tremendous loss you feel and days when things are more difficult. Counselling could also be an opportunity to remember and celebrate your Mum's life. You could give it a go to see if it would work for you. It is worth a try, isn't it? If you decide it is not for you, then at least you've given it a go. Thinking of you, IlonaM

Have a look at the .gov website: https://www.gov.uk/evicting-tenants/overview You need to follow strict procedures to evict a tenant, otherwise the notice will not be valid. Also have a look at the Shelter advice guide for private tenancies: https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/private_renting and eviction: https://england.shelter.org.uk/housing_advice/eviction
