Oh dear. Commiserations to you. I don't want to be a dampener of enthusiasm for flu jabs, but my understanding is that the early choice of constituents each year is always a bit of a gamble with respect to actual effectiveness. I seem to remember reading that in one (just one!) year, in over-65s, there was actually a higher prevalence of flu in those who *had* had the vaccine! I'm afraid that as a hard headed over-65 empiricist I found that quite amusing, though it doesn't put me off getting the annual jab at all (or lead me to any almost certainly fallacious belief that the vaccine aids or abets flu). Another gratuitous observation, just in case it might have some validity and use for others, but with no assertion that it does ... On a couple of occasions in the last week, after noticing just the very slightest feeling of an incipient sore throat, and maybe a slight swelling of neck glands, I tried giving my immune system a helping hand by letting a small amount of mouthwash wash around my throat area for thirty seconds or so; and in each case didn't notice the symptoms again. I see btw that the latest flu surveillance report available at https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/national-flu-and-covid-19-surveillance-reports-2022-to-2023-season does seem to sugest some sort of matching found between one of the several flu viruses prevalent at the moment and a vaccine constituent. Figures on actual vaccine effectiveness will presumably appear when there's enough data.

OK, I've decided to wait till tomorrow and then to see what's available to me in online appointment-making; in particular, given that the NHS Online questionaire concluded that I should consult a GP the same day, whether it's possible to get it similarly flagged or duly treated as more or less urgent. I'm finding the apparent disparity on the AskMyGP site, (currently advertised at https://www.tessajowellgpsurgery.co.uk/services/online-services/ ) between the examples of interchanges between patients and GPs and the appearance of This Is Not For Patients warnings on some pages, difficult to understand. I'll be doing that on the Evergreen site, as suggested by the TJGP introductory page https://my.askmygp.uk/?c=G85132#/intro, where it's said "If you submit a request that you deem urgent or essential it will be triaged by one of our experienced clinicians...".

Things move on, not necessarily for the better. AskMyGP is still there but there's yet another service outfit, "Evergreen Life" that seems to handle the appointments and records access. I have registered with them and linked my account to my practice TJGP. I seem to have spent several hours floundering around between websites this weekend. I'll write later with a gleaning or two. In the meantime can anyone please answer this moderately urgent query: Is it (still) possible to input some current case details somewhere with the assurance that they will be seen by a medic within 24 hours and progressed if need be to TJGP and the anticipated offer of an appointment? The situation may differ for weekends, so I don't know if tomorrow will be different. If not I'll resort now to NHS 111, which seems to be the only accessible resort at times anyway.

If so, when did it change? It always used to be the stop on East Dulwich Grove next to Derwent Grove. /viewtopic.php?p=2257729&hilit=rail+replacement#p2257729 There is also a map outside the station. or opposite the booking office. The positions are probably right in it, though they have sometimes mixed up the bus stop letters.

Tom Phillips. There's a fairly recent local piece about him. at peckhampeculiar.tumblr.com/post/189144461660/painter-man There's more of him on that site that seems to require registration, https://www.tumblr.com/search/Tom%20Phillips

I see you mention "the flat above". On the matter of your liability, the government advice page on the Party Wall Act requirements, at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/preventing-and-resolving-disputes-in-relation-to-party-walls/the-party-wall-etc-act-1996-explanatory-booklet does say: " In return for rights to carry out certain works, the Building Owner (the person having the work done) must notify you [any adjoining owner or occupier] in advance. He is made legally responsible for putting right any damage caused by carrying out the works, even if the damage is caused by his contractor."

If I'd known at any time that Private Eye deliveries were going to be consistently 2-3 weeks late for at least 2-3 months, as they have been, I'd have canvassed, at least half in earnest, the possibility of a large-enough bunch of us SE22 subscribers asking the distributors to send our copies in a single courier consignment to one of us, and then our arranging local delivery amongst us on a non-liability, but at least trustworthy, basis.

Sainsburys are responsible for allowing daytime access: /viewtopic.php?p=1926691. Schedule 4 of the agreement I mention there also provides for a Management Plan for the park, to be submitted to and approved by the council.

Any chance of the the regs' name or some sort of direct or indirect linkage please? [ETA] OK Lynne, I've found it. The Food (Promotion and Placement) (England) Regulations 2021, https://www.legislation.gov.uk/uksi/2021/1368/schedule/1/made, which came into force on Saturday. I can see it being problematic. To be included in the placement ban a food has to be both (a) in the long list of specified foods (Schedule 1) and (b) scoring more than a specified minimum using formulae specified in https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/the-nutrient-profiling-model. By my interpretation that would include, for example, any ready-to-eat breakfast cereal or muesli that fails (b). I wouldn't be surprised, though, if others reached a different construction of parts of Schedule 1 or had problems with the calculations bit. The regs' explanatory memorandum explains, btw: "The purpose of this instrument is to restrict the promotion of high fat, sugar and salt (HFSS) products by location and volume price in medium and large businesses that sell food or drink in England (50 or more employees).

They appear to be a branch or franchisee of the Arapina bakery in Greenwich. See https://arapina.co.uk/contact/ and https://arapina.co.uk/what-does-arapina-mean/.

Logging out will delete the 'remember me' login key on that machine. Is that what's happening? Alternatively, I see that manually deleting all my browser cookies for the forum after having closed it produces the same outcome. So perhaps you should check whether your browser's set to delete all recent cookies at the end of a session. That should probably be configurable somewhere among its privacy or security settings. Observation for Joe: my second para. was an edit of the already posted post, but doesn't have any added annotation to say so; nor does this one. But an edit just made to an old post in The Lounge has been annotated.

> TJ is fine, get referred there by Forest Hill Rd Group Practice and can't think of any issues. If it's a referral I suspect that's to the Extended Primary Care Service, also based at TJHC, which acts as a backup to the 13 or so South Southwark practices, rather than to the main GP practice. They're different entities, though I don't know how the EPCS operate in practice. More details at /viewtopic.php?p=2254891#p2254891

> I did put in the meter reading and still its around £500. You've not mentioned anything about the stated amounts of gas consumed, or whether the readings given on the latest bill tally with those on the preceding one(s), or how today's meter reading compares. I'm wondering if this is a new account that you've taken over and there's been an admin error; or whether you've misread the meter. If it's an old style one, like mine, the relevant reading (hundreds of cubic feet) is just the leftmost four digits.

Angelina> I think there's an Aldi on the OKR as well. That was last week. It won't be there now again for some unspecified time, while even more extensive rebuilding than Lidl's takes place. https://southwarknews.co.uk/featured/old-kent-road-aldi-packs-up/
