MG needs more doctors instead of more nurse practioners. That was obviously a cost cutting exercise. Nurses are cheaper than docs, simple.

Absentminded, next time you call Southwark Environment Health, on 0207525 2000 and report it. They send someone round if it doesn't go off in a certain amount of time, ie. 20 minutes, and then they write to the owners of the property, who can be fined if it happens again. There should be a keyholder in the case of an alarm.

When was this patient group formed and are you the only chairs? Were the patients in Melbourne Grove written to? Is this the first meeting? Thanks.

I think it is odd that these people have an NHS email address. They could be anybody....or someone related to Simon Fradd. Or they might not exist at all.

Martin and Dora, Why do you have an NHS email address if you are patients?

Administrator, That post isn't from the practice, it is from some patients of Melbourne Grove.

But no names were named.

Troy Town is SE15 not SE22! For those who care........

How does Choose and Book work? I want to go to see a doctor at the Royal Brompton Hospital.

Yah, but the Denmark Hill part..........

Jeremy Bowen lives in SE5 for anyone who cares about that sort of thing.

Great post We-All-Adora-Mamora. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Have PM'd you - thanks.

Go to Amazon and look up GI diet books by Rick Gallop. There are a few which will help you.

If I were Veronique, I would be mightily peed off with you.

Andymat, it would have been good if you had mentioned that she hadn't charged you after you complained. Anything else?

Let's get Bon3yard to come up with some great GI recipes. His lentil soups are already there. The GI way of eating is healthy overall for everyone. Brown pita bread is good, bran flakes, lots of pulses as already mentioned, skim milk are a few things. I have a book somewhere which has the foods listed in order of green - low GI, yellow, so-so and red, high.

Charliecharlie, did your friend complain about the rassclut comment?

Does anyone know how many docs are there permanently now? Dr. Johnson is only there 3 days a week.

Or you could move equidistant between East Dulwich and Peckham Rye Station (or Denmark Hill) and pick up the London Bridge to Victoria line as well.

10,000 Maniacs is not overrated, however not heard often.

Pommie, Your posts are getting more and more surreal. You say kids can't play in your garden because you have turf? That would be grass. You don't let kids play on grass? Cats can climb high walls. They jump. Neutered cats roam as well. Mine always did. Originally you said you didn't have a litter tray because you have a small child. Now you are saying it is because the cats don't want use the litter trays. They should still have a choice.

Moos, it's great that you have given your cats a choice of a litter tray. That is the main thing I wanted to stress. They might need to use it sometime. I found that as my cats got older they wanted to use the litter tray more. I didn't say that cats were pet lite, I said that I kind of agreed with snorky who said that. I don't think that the majority of people who get them feel that, except perhaps the ones who shut their animals out at night. Put the cat out with the milk bottles. A friend of mine used to let her cat roam at night and he lost his leg in a car accident one night. After that she kept him in and he used to kick up a fuss, but soon settled down. I wasn't getting angry with Pommie but it was upsetting that she kept saying odd things like she can't have a litter tray because of her child.
