  1. Can also recommend Paul - came very quickly when we needed help. Reasonably priced compared to some, all clear comms, helpful guy.
  2. You can do this at home and get it observed if necessary (for US and some other countries) - quite reasonable prices https://www.medicspot.co.uk/ Recommended by company travel agent
  3. Thanks for helping this petition reach over 10,000 signatures... has brought the issue of cleaner air into the media spotlight if nothing else.

In ED they have undoubtedly caused more traffic and pollution on the main roads, which are jammed esp at peak times. Yes you can argue more people now walk or cycle but was that just a lockdown effect when many (myself included) could work from home as the office wasn't open and thus have more time as no longer commuting. Monitors are showing pollution has increased on main roads and as we know Lordship Lane and many other well used roads, especially A roads like the south circular, have residents who deserve consideration too, as they will be breathing in more heavily polluted air. We used to live near the junction of Lordship Lane and Dulwich Common and my husband had heart problems as a result of breathing polluted air. The health issues disappeared when we moved on to a side road. I think we all need to be more understanding towards the other side here and those who have "won" on having LTN road closures made permanent need to check themselves (why are you in favour? is it personal gain as you live on a road that has been closed to vehicles or is it because you think the wider population has benefited?) and look at what those against or in favour (depending on your side) are saying. Many businesses have been badly affected by LTNs. Callow Locksmiths for example have moved from Melbourne Grove to Lordship Lane as they weren't getting the passing trade. Yes the kids at Charter East benefit from walking down a safer road but once they have walked a few minutes they are back on Lordship Lane and East Dulwich Grove / Grove Vale anyway. I personally am against the LTNs as they slow down public transport having caused more vehicles to use main roads. I like the idea of less traffic but LTNs do not force people to stop using their cars, they simply take a different route.

  6. Dave Reilly Plastercare tel. 07932505589 - genuine guy, super helpful!
  7. Recommending Gary - he has done numerous jobs for us over the years - from changing a light switch to dimmer to taking out lights no longer used and moving lights and sockets. Today he fitted a Ring doorbell for us, quick and professional job as alwyas. His number is 07872178044
  8. Thanks for your posts of support. James I will definitely be in touch. The government has pledged 7,000 air filters for over 300,000 classrooms which is simply ridiculous. If you read this and are supportive, please please sign the petition and share with friends and especially teachers / school or college staff etc and other parents. Thanks
  9. You should be able to pick up from a pharmacy if you get a collection code in advance
  10. Yes I've noticed a bad smell like drains or sewage...
  11. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good solicitor who can deal with a building company who've done shoddy work? Ideally no win no fee or fixed fee. Thanks!
  12. Aaron has put his back out - so anyone looking for a plasterer, I'd suggest ringing Mickey Lawless or he can recommend others if too busy.
  13. 2 hour wait at King's for me - but am very grateful for the staff and volunteers there!
  14. I was advised to take extra vitamin C (which as most know you cannot easily have too much of - either as fruit/food or as a supplement) and paracetamol after my vaccine. I did this and had hardly any symptoms. Did it again after having the booster so really would recommend - clearly vit C helps with immunity generally and helps ward off coughs and colds, so you can't really go wrong. Take good care everyone
  15. Posting again as this is SO important and we can all do something to encourage the government to fund HEPA filters, as well as CO2 monitors (which they claim to have supplied - untrue in vast majority of places of education). Thanks for your help ED folk! Nearly at 6,000 signatures and we need 10,000 to get a government response. Thanks!
  16. Lots of walk ins if you check NHS website, or you can just book yourself if you're over 30 I believe (may be even younger now?).
  17. Usually 2-3 days in less busy times so I would imagine up to a week at the moment with increased demand - lots doing tests before going to see family here or abroad, or travelling abroad too of course.
  18. Tessa Jowell centre is doing walk ins and very quick according to our neighbours. I had mine at King's yesterday - queued for 2 hours. I then managed to book my husband one at St Thomas' (near London Bridge) for next Tuesday, without any difficulty at all and a load of appointment options. I think lots of centres have increased opening hours so worth keeping trying - you have to wait a few minutes to book online but it is very efficient overall. NHS very impressive as always!
  19. This is for an asylum seeker family so a very worthy cause - if someone could do this cheaply / at cost of petrol it would be AMAZING. Let's get into the Christmas spirit people! The washer dryer will need collecting from my house in East Dulwich and delivering to a flat in Streatham that has been allocated for this family. The flat is up some stairs so will need a strong person to help deliver (someone strong apparently available to help the other end). If a plumber is reading this who has a van that would be ideal! THANKS in advance
  20. Donated - good luck, so many people in need right now
  21. Ideally needed on Friday morning - please can you contact me if you can do this for a low price? Helping a family in need! Thanks
  22. Hi - does anyone have a contact number please? Thanks!

  24. The Triangle Crystal Palace and Peckham Pulse are the two best quite locally.
