Apologies. 10x4hrs is full time for Hospital Consultants. For GPs it's 37.5 hrs for full time according to the BMA and anything less is part time.

As far as I understand ten 4 hour sessions would be full time so if you work anything less than 40 hours a week as a GP you will be considered as part time. A 35 hr week that is full time for most people would be part time for a GP.

I'm really happy to recommend Jeff from Streatham Decorators. He has done several jobs for me now. His work is very good and he is punctual, reliable, clean and tidy and reasonably priced. https://streathamdecorators.co.uk/

Not sure if this helps 😕

O2 coverage is good in ED although drops off in Sydenham woods and Dulwich Village.

Thanks for that comprehensive reply. It is reassuring and appreciated that you, as administrator, are keeping such a close eye on reviews. I will continue to try to disregard reviews from new accounts with one posting just to be on the safe side.

Curious to know if anyone else struggles to sort the genuine reviews from the self posted. I have had a few tradesmen off the forum who have glowing reviews eg excellent work, great value etc who I have found mediocre and very expensive. I prefer to only review if the work is good and, for poor or mediocre work, I tend to say nothing as I don't want to blight someone's livelihood from my one mediocre or worse experience. But I now notice, across different tradesmen, how many reviews come from newly registered names on the forum with only one post saying how a particular tradesman was absolutely fantastic. Sadly I've started to think these are probably made up. It's such a shame because it makes the review section lose it's value.

He did a great job on my windows too.

Oh the wonders of the internet....you can curtain twitch without ever leaving the comfort of your sofa. I wonder which unsuspecting house seller will be next in line for the ED critique.

Do you speak about the houses of your own clients this way? 🤔

Surprising if that tree doesn't have a Tree Preservation Order protecting it. Have you asked the Southwark tree officer?

Yes Wash and Dry in LL was my go to place for bedding and was good value and came back clean so I'm sorry to see them gone. I think Love 2 laundry was around 48 hrs from delivery to drop off.

I tried a service wash in Brockley and it was not good at all so then tried an online one following Jules-and-Boo's suggestion (thankyou). I tried Love2Laundry. It was more expensive than a local service wash but the duvets came back clean. So I will use again. They collect and drop off.

Do get your MP and relevant councillors involved. The only winners from more high street gambling outlets are the owning companies and those receiving the rent. People that use these gambling shops are often those who don't have money to lose. The presence of so many gambling shops in a High St is a sign of a struggling high street and that is an issue for the local council and the MP. It should be much harder to gamble than it is now. Gambling advertising on TV and phones is particularly pernicious and I wish the laws on this had never been liberalised. Gambling is a really harmful addiction that, unlike drug and alcohol addiction, can go unseen until addicts have lost everything. Opening another gambling outlet is a big mistake. I'm sure you'll find alot of people in Sydenham that would help you oppose this. Just keep spreading the message. Good luck. Lewisham gives has guidance on making a representation against licence applications for alcohol entertainment licenses on its website but much of the information is transferable. https://lewisham.gov.uk/myservices/business/licences-and-street-trading/licences-issued-by-the-licensing-team/alcohol-and-entertainment-licences/licensing---guidance-on-making-a-representation

Thanks for the advice. My hair is blue already.

Seemed quite clever to me...just casually ask name and date of birth....and before you know it there's a dodgy company set up at your address. But glad, so far, others think it's legit.

Amazon delivery driver asked me for my name and date of birth when he delivered a package. He said it was required as there was over 18 content in the package which actually contained a few magnets and a water filtration kit so not sure what was over 18 content! Just wondering if that was an attempt at identity theft, ie name, address and date of birth. I gave a false dob but we'll see if any dodgy invoices turn up. Has anyone else experienced this?

Loved Poor Things. Weird but good.

Where do people go to get bedding washed (ie that has a large load machine) while Wash and Dry is closed?

Aladyinlondon.com is a legitimate account as is the link. She does a whole Instagram feed and, obviously, a website. May be "pseudo cute" but I have discovered, through her posts, quite a few hidden gems in London of which I was unaware despite having always lived in London and that's always a nice thing.

Roshane did a great job of a plaster repair for me and a great job of a complex plastering and rendering of a friend's total house renovation. I'm very happy to recommend him. 07930 816 196 Roshane Simmonds

When did the post office become Royal Mail? As part of the Postal Services Act 2000, the businesses of the Post Office were transferred in 2001 to a public limited company, Consignia plc, which was quickly renamed Royal Mail Holdings plc. The government became the sole shareholder in Royal Mail Holdings plc and its subsidiary Post Office Ltd. The two companies were part of the same group until 2012, when the Post Office was split out into a separate business. So they were one company when this scandal started and Adam Crozier, CEO during many years of the scandal and now ITV CEO is conspicuous by his absence in the drama doc. Mr Crozier was CEO of Royal Mail Group between 2003 and 2010, when the Post Office was part of it and subpostmasters were being pursued through the courts. Fujitsu have also come off lightly when it was their IT fault that caused the problem and it took years before anyone there said anything Remember that it's individuals within large organisations and government that make these decisions and choose not to own up and allow the wrong thing to happen. The individuals have the protection of the large organisation but it is individual people with power who choose to do the wrong thing and screw the little person.

I hope everyone watches this on itv and itvx. We think we have royal mail problems on East Dulwich but this drama and it's fellow documentary highlights one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in recent years. The lives of many postmasters and their families were ruined by the arrogance of those in charge at Post Office and their attempts to cover up their faulty new IT system. The compensation process for those who are still alive is an over complex sham to avoid properly compensating those that were hurt by this scandalous miscarriage of justice (if true compensation is even truly possible). Those in power at the post office and the IT company should hang their heads in shame and they and the government should be doing everything they can to try to properly compensate the poor victims of this scandal. If you are not already aware of this scandal do watch it on ITV and weep.

My understanding is you get a year of comparison costs to see whether you pay less metered or unmetered and during that year you have a choice whether to switch or not but after the one year period you will be switched to metered bills whether you want to or not. When meters were installed here it took about three months before they were activated.
