AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccine offered. Second doses offered if it is at least eight weeks since the first dose.? From experience when the second vaccine is added to your record you get a text from the NHS saying ?our records show you have had both doses of the coronavirus (COVID-19) vaccine. We are therefore cancelling your appointment on [date], which was booked through the NHS website or 119. If you think our records are incorrect, contact your GP surgery.?

Thanks James, yes the delay to restarting was a national decision. I understand Southwark have given permission to use all four of the parks in the borough.

But remember every earlier > slot you book is taking a slot away from someone > trying to get their first jab. This isn?t true. People able to bring forward their second dose almost exclusively getting AZ and the younger cohort who are getting first doses are getting Pfizer. The government guidance for over 40s is that second doses should be at 8 weeks not 12 weeks. Of course people should change their appointment online (which now shows earlier availability when you go to change appointments) rather than bother staff trying to deliver vaccines, but the advice is to bring forward second doses. The Guy?s walkin centre explicitly says they?re for over-40s first and second doses.

My second AZ jab side effects were almost non existent (sore arm) compared to feeling really ill for 24 hrs after the first.

This whole anti-trans agenda is almost identical to the homophobic debates right that continent today. The same ?it?s not natural? argument. The same casual implication that trans people / gay people are sexual predators. The same ?won?t you think of the children? argument while ignoring the harm done by the status quo. I also find it interesting how many of those making such noise about this have never shown the slightest interest in real women?s issues like gender based violence, the gender pay gap, health inequality, or real children?s issue like child poverty or education. It?s almost as if concern for women and children isn?t their real agenda?.

My view is actually from the same article you?re quoting where Davey also says ?Voters are far smarter than people give them credit for. Liberal Democrat voters may well notice that this is a Labour-held seat with the Tories in a close second, and they?ll draw their own conclusions. But that shouldn?t be stitched up in a back room by party leaders.? I think this rules out parties standing aside for each other.

Experience? I would love for it to happen but I have little faith that the parties would be able to reach agreement to stand aside for each other.

Search for head of the new Brexit Opportunities Unit begins: https://www.gov.uk/government/news/search-for-head-of-the-new-brexit-opportunities-unit-begins Perhaps something to have been thinking about before voting leave not 5-years later!

You?re right. I was referring to your second sentence about the difficulty of large numbers of people (by which I read voters) seeing the bigger picture. I wasn?t referring to a voting agreement between the parties which is almost certainly impossible.

The chances of an anti-Tory > Lab/Lib Dem/Green voting agreement are tiny, alas. It was pretty common pre-coalition. The Labour vote in Lib Dem/Tory seats like Bath or Twickenham was tiny and getting tactical votes was a core part of Lib Dem campaigning. Hence all the ?Labour can?t win here? dodgy bar charts that adorned all Lib Dem literature. Whether it?s repeatable in today?s media environment - who knows.

I thought that it was interesting in two aspects. A collapse in Green and Labour vote, perhaps people are more open to cooperation post Corbyn. And a similar shift from Tories to LibDems, possibly due to a shift of working age middle class professionals who seem less likely to vote Tory than similar voters a decade ago. Perhaps a third factor is that maybe the taint of the coalition in general and tuition fees specifically is coming off the LibDems. Not reading too much into a low turnout by election but if Labour and the Lib Dems vote tactically and there?s a shift of middle aged professionals away from the Tories this puts most of the South in play. The challenge for Labour remains that without Scotland and the North there?s no route to a majority.

Play it by ear and use Waze to keep checking the fastest route. Usually M4 is quickest, occasionally A3 to A303 is better but it gets really congested especially in summer. Going late on Friday or very early Saturday are your best bets. The last two trips I did to the West Country on a Friday afternoon it took me as long to get from ED to the M4 as it did from there to Bath.

To answer the ?more than a year? question - almost certainly not. They?re growing so fast at that age that they?ll grow out of any bike in a year to eighteen months. It?s worth looking on the forum for second hand frogs, Islas or Meridas which all do high quality kids bikes. Steer clear of Halfords their stuff is junk and their staff rarely know what they?re talking about. If you are buying new there are plenty of good independent bike stores in the area.

You are supposed to book the collection online and then just leave them out with your normal collection (they are collected with the food waste and the subscription garden waste bins). I think I?ve seen some people say that they get collected even if you don?t book a collection and others say that they don?t get collected unless you book - so who knows?! I generally do gardening on the weekend, request the collection online on Monday and they are collected with our waste on Wednesday.

gabys1st Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > do you have to pay for collection of brpown bags, > thanks. Oh and do you have a diirect line phone > no for booking collection? Thank you. You don?t pay again for collection, just to purchase them from the council (the collection fee is included). I don?t know if you can arrange collection by phone, I?ve always used the website that Suduhe linked to.

The water feature was switched off very shortly after the park opened as the sand blocked the drainage. I don?t think it?s ever been fixed.

trinidad Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > hi alex, interesting to learn about the brown > sacks, where do you get these? Suduhe beat me to the answer, and I was wrong it?s ?15 a pack not ?20. For our garden we don?t use more than 10 sacks a year. I think at one point you could also get them at the libraries but I don?t know if that?s the case post-COVID. Booking a collection is very simple and they?re collected on bin day with the food waste.

Parking is a bit better - I can now park outside my house 95% of the time unless people have parked really badly. That said there?s not much enforcement and fewer people going into the office, I don?t think we?ll know the effect until post lockdown. I didn?t find parking particularly bad before though. One big benefit is that we had a plague of semi-abandoned vans and camper vans in the area often sitting unused for months at a time, these seem to have disappeared since the restrictions came in.

We have a small garden and so opted for the brown paper sacks. A single ?20 pack has lasted us more than a year and we still have plenty left. I don?t think ?40 is value for money.

As I understand what you?re saying you turned off Elephant and Castle roundabout onto the A3 and then turned right into Metro Heights, is that correct? If so you crossed the congestion charge signs and painted markings when you turned onto the A3 and so are therefore liable for the congestion zone. Whether the cameras spotted you, that I don?t know. Personally I?d pay the charge for the day just in case.

I?ve used Green Umbrella as a social media agency for my old business. Not convinced it was worth it, we brought it back in house in the end. A couple of big firms I?ve worked with used Oktopost for scheduling social media.

Didn?t the Woodman have a play area?

The conception rate in 1971 was 54.9/1000 15-17 year olds, by 1999 it had fallen to 45.1/1000 by 2018 it had fallen to 16.8/1000 (ONS data). While you may ?feel? that your generation turned out better than the kids today the evidence doesn?t bear you out. Also this thread (not your post but the original posts) have a strongly homophobic tone. You might want to consider whether the original poster is being entirely genuine in their presentation of the curriculum before criticising it.
