  1. What type of notice is it? What specifically does it allege?
  2. DIY. It is possible. Just get some good evidence together like this one: https://www.ealingclub.com/ealing-club-whats-it-about/british-rhythm-and-blues/.
  3. Following on from Penguin68's post, I see, for example, that the Red Cross have a Ukraine Crisis Appeal, at https://donate.redcross.org.uk/appeal/ukraine-crisis-appeal, and that it's one that can benefit from the 25% Gift Aid uplift afforded to income tax-paying donors.
  4. > I received 3 A* for A Level > (including 100% in both English papers) I'm not familiar with current A-levels and find that alarming. What are those English papers testing and measuring?
  5. What is it like, to have an enhanced shopping experience?

The accounts are usually open for public inspection for a period during the annual audit. That's usually in the summer. In the meantime, have you emailed the office, if your interrogation methods have failed with the on-site staff?

  8. > Some of you I know will not consider > getting the alarm (?32.61 for two alarms, When I tried the website yesterday I found that if I simply left the order selection page open, the system produced a gradual series of reductions — one of them even incorporating a 'lucky' spinner — that brought the offered price for a pair down from approximately ?65 to ?32, ?17, and then ?8, with graduated prices of ~ ?7 per pair for larger orders. This morning it did the same. I wouldn't in any case even consider buying from these systematically lying shysters. There are plenty of sellers on other familiar web marketplaces, some offering unit prices of around ?4 or even less, and some verified purchaser recommendations that can probably be trusted. Cf the attached. Repeated edits, btw, due to some glitchiness experienced in updating image attachmemts.
  9. > did he get permission to put the > lady's photo on this forum ?? I wouldn't worry about that. See attached (from https://happening-here.blogspot.com/2011_09_01_archive.html ).
  10. That's interesting. Can I have the source please.

  13. Dud Storm? Wasn't he one of Larry Parnes' lot?
  14. Saturday's of course. ;) I see, btw, that Helen Hayes, our MP, ran her 150th Parkrun last Saturday.

  16. > as I understand it that part of the Act isn?t in force Whoops, I hadn't realised that. Thanks. Now you've reminded me of a fruitless hunt through the London Gazette a few months ago, for the publication of something like an old local TMO. The leaflet came through the letterbox this afternoon. OP's quotation is there, with a (spring 2022) appended to it, in a Next Steps section.
  17. > They?re protected characteristics rather than groups I believe. Indeed. Part 2 of the Equality Act 2010. https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2010/15/part/2 It's possible that the leaflet is also bearing in mind the "public sector duty regarding socio-economic inequalities" in Part 1 of the Act. Whatever, I do find its apparently mangled understanding or representation of the law rather depressing.
  18. > I had a call from this surgery > today which showed up as spam. I suspect speaking to your telco/ISP is the best way of resolving this. Incidentally, the TJ GP askmygp portal is now saying "Due to high demands, this service is closed until 8am Monday the 14th of February. Any patient with an urgent presenting complaint,...". So, as one might have anticipated, the prospect of having a GP accessible by phone within an hour or so, as seemed to be offered, isn't so easily realisable. In one way it's reassuring, as it suggests that there's no offloading to an askmygp proprietary site. Note that this e-consult service seems to be different from the one used by Forest Hill Road, and from the EMIS system, on which I was previously registered when the practice was in Melbourne Grove. Registering online for this one is less intricate than for the EMIS system and was easily done online, though I've yet to see whether there are any more procedures to be gone through to enable access to personal data. I was able to access a self-help section, which seems, as far as I've seen so far, to act principally as just a portal to existing public sources.

Information sources please. I'd like to be able to judge the veracity, likeliness, etc of reports at first hand. My own, rebuttable, presumption about Johnson's refusal to apologise further has been that it was probably based on previous experience of the other side blaming him as a departmental head for the actions of subordinates. I guess that ploughing through PMQs etc might well find some examples.

They are located there, and appear to act as an ad hoc daytime backup service for a consortium of South Southwark GP practices. https://www.ihlsouthwark.co.uk/what-we-do/epcs/ (also mentioned by me at /forum/read.php?5,2254369,2254420#msg-2254891) I've no idea whether they (or, for that matter, the consortium Covid-19 vaccination sessions held at TJHC) share any facilities with the Tessa Jowell GP practice. Can anyone illuminate?
  21. DMC Crystal Palace Road and The Lordship Lane Surgery These two were downrated for the general categories "Safe" and "Effective" and "Well-led". They were amber "Requires improvement" ratings, apart from DMC's red "Inadequate" flag for "Well-led". Some amber ratings too for both for some of their specific areas of work: People with long term conditions: "Requires improvement" Families, children and young people: "Requires improvement" Working age people (including those recently retired and students): "Requires improvement" Full details here: DMC Crystal Palace Road https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-565650623 The Lordship Lane Surgery https://www.cqc.org.uk/location/1-537675048 Index to SE22 and surrounds: https://www.cqc.org.uk/search/services/doctors-gps?location=London%20SE22&sort=default&la=&distance=2&mode=html ETA: I've not found any indication that the 'worst' list was actually collated and published by the CQC, and personally I doubt whether they'd think it proper for themselves to do so. It looks to me more like journalists' datascraping, as I guess was done too for the Ofsted ratings story.
