I think you are right Jah, who in Westminster is going to push the self destruct button!

I think weirdly London will be ok, tourism, low exchange rate for sterling making expensive luxury housing attractive to rich Asian, Chinese, Russian investors, a reduced but active financial centre but a lot of new jobs in Westminster to help with EU negotiation and replace the lost EU work on trade. The areas that voted out will suffer from lack of EU funding, higher tariffs to sell food from Lincolnshire etc. to the EU and a non- elected Etonian for prime minister soon who is more London centric than cowardly Cameron! This was the one of the most stupid thing a Prime Minister or the British public has ever done.

So Cornwall voted out of the EU, but now want EU money? Didn't they also put up a sign somewhere basically saying f**k off England....

They can't make us go until we officially ask - we still have a seat and we are still in the EU and we still have a veto vote. Who in government is going to officially do this..... Not Cameron.

Hi, Louisa, feeling sad just means you care, which is good and means you are a good person. Me and Mr. heartblock sat in the EDT today over a beer and cried.

Hi Louisa, it is very sad - you were basically lied to by Boris and Farage about the EU, the 350m and immigration and you voted out on these lies. That is why the petition for a second referendum has been signed by my friend who voted out and now regrets his vote. The general public are not experts or politicians and therefore rely on what they tell us. Some of the public are better informed through education or knowledge of how the EU works and these people tended to vote remain. You have every right to be very angry about the lies you were told. Angry 48% of the U.K. and angry Brexit voters - time to go to the pub!

Dear midivydale, the majority of Londoners want to be in the EU and we want and need you to have London as your home. I'm so sorry that this stupid vote has made you sad. One of my friends who stupidly voted out as an 'antiestablishment' protest vote kept saying to us yesterday that he was upset that he had voted leave now, his journey from Leyton to ED yesterday was awful, everyone on the train, tube and bus looked depressed and subdued.

That made me laugh a lot. Thanks quids 😆

Over a million now. I have no doubt the regrexit voters would change for remain now they know the lies told to them and this time allow 16 and 17 year olds to vote for their future.

Signed

Dear working mummy and midivydale, absolutely agree. People voted out with little or no understanding of the reality about how the EU and the EEA works and the impact of a leave vote. There is a very good reason we put difficult decisions in the hands of experts. If I have heart disease I would listen and take advice from a cardiologist, not a lawyer or even a dermatologist If I had cancer I would listen and take advice from an oncologist, not an ENT surgeon or a chiropodist If was was concerned about the EU I would listen and take advice from financial and political experts, not Farage. This stupid vote is like a patient with insulin controlled diabetes sticking two fingers up at an occasionally uncomfortable and annoying regular treatment as recommended by the medical expert and trusting the faith healing lies of some mad American style 'healer'.

There is no plan. Only a ?350M a week for the NHS lie, as Farage has now admitted. This was a vanity project for a cowardly Cameron, too weak to tackle problems in his own party, so called for a stupid referendum with a stupid question and got a stupid answer. He didn't even allow campaigning against Boris and Gove as he didn't want to upset the Tory party and now too cowardly to lead the exit. What is more a lot of out voters now regretting their vote. Welcome to sad little England and Wales.

We gave the EU ?350M a week which was the given back to many of the regions that voted out, basically spreading the wealth from London to the regions - if you think for one second Boris or Gove will and can do this you are living in a dream world and as the financial markets are now damaged by 'leave' it's unlikely there will be any spare cash for the NHS or poorer regions. I think Boris looked worried.......

It's all too awful - Gove is repulsive and Boris a careerist man-child.....

More traffic pushed onto East Dulwich Grove isn't ideal, is there anything in the proposal that will stop this from happening if Melbourne Grove is closed to traffic.

It's safe. I walked that way to work for ten years, sometimes after a few post- work drinks, so late at night in the dark and I never felt at threat from muggers or traffic. The Sardinian restaurant would be an excellent local place to eat and the 'pre-loved' clothes shop is great to browse in.

Maybe it was just a misunderstanding and the Mum thought we objected to sitting next to a small child and then was a bit over defensive. Then I was being overly sensitive (and hubby irritated at having to move!) The staff were good actually and as I had already decided to move, I think I had removed that option from the waitress. Oh well .. I'm usually pretty chilled, I think a gin and tonic is in order!

Hi Jeremy, yes you're right as well. I imagine that the perception of the Mum will differ from mine. I'm not sure about who was right and who was wrong. I think that is why I was asking what you or someone else might say or do in that situation. I've dealt with violent drunks in A&E and had to deliver the worse news possible to parents, so I thought I had a fairly reasonable approach and had learnt how to diffuse difficult situations. Apart from us moving to another table half way through our meal, I couldn't really see another way this time, the Mum wasn't going to stop giving soggy bread to the child and the child's throwing arc was improving with time.

Oh don't worry Bob - I needed someone to say what you said. There are much worse things in life than a bit of soggy bread being thrown in your direction while you eat.

Yes you are probably right Bob, I think she might have been a one off. I've found Mums and kids around here a really nice bunch. I was a bit shaken by the experience, which is silly really. Ok - good advice, Ta Bob.

Only once - today. I've lived here for 25 years.

I suppose I'm just seeking whether this is how life is. Two over 50 year olds ( me and hubby) in a nearly empty restaurant, quietly eating. One other table with a family with young kids, the usual banter of mums and kids - which I don't mind, I regularly eat at this place and at 11.30 it is always popular with Mum's and kids. Mother, friend and small child come in just after we have started eating and sit on the table next to us. Child a bit noisy with clanking of cutlery on table and throwing toys on floor - that's fine, I don't mind because that's what kids do.Mother gives child bits of food to play with and child throws food on floor. Mother keeps giving food to child who continues to throw food on floor. We are not bothered, have grandchildren and have seen it all. Then child starts to throw food nearer and nearer us until it is being thrown in my line of site and under our table. I say very politely 'sorry, would you mind... But don't get to the end of the sentence as friend interrupts and says 'sorry is the food hitting you', I reply 'not yet, but it's a bit distracting... And just about to say 'seeing food coming towards you' and about to joke about it when the mother becomes extremely defensive, something along the lines of 'it's just a child' 'why don't you move' and then turning to the child giving her more food to throw on the floor and saying to the child 'silly, horrid people' . I get up and ask the waitress if we can move and when I get back my hubby is in the process of saying 'we were here first and why should we move'. I think he is right, but push him to another table - while the mother is still giving her child food to throw and then cutlery etc on the floor and very loudly saying 'silly, horrid people' and my hubby ends up saying 'oh shut -up' as I'm pushing him to another table. Did I/ we handle this badly? was I wrong for not wanting food thrown my way while eating. What is expected these days? Maybe I'm just too old.. The restaurant waitress and staff were brilliant by the way.

Zac always comes across as a bit bored with his wealthy life and this is just something to do. I didn't mind him previously, but the latest 'Trump' behaviour by him and Cameron is poor politics/ mud slinging. I'm unimpressed by Khan and he may get my reluctant vote. I don't know much about Caroline P, what's her platform and her policies?

Yes I've been in that situation. Three people off sick with norovirus, one person on AL in Lisbon, one person booked on an Advanced Life Support course for three days so that they could go on call for cardiac emergencies the following week. Lots of patients having an extra hour waiting time that day and the majority were very understanding. Still I've left now so one less shambolic manager eh?

The key phrase is 'senior-clinician directed diagnostic'. That means a doctor requests a test - but the doctor doesn't do the test. If you don't have more 'diagnostic staff' it doesn't matter how many doctors are in at the weekend. Ok I won't add anymore to this. I resigned from my senior clinical manager post recently after 30 odd years to take on a less stressful role. The demoralised staff and constant pressure to do more with less was sad to see. When it's gone you are all going to miss it! Unless you have shares or interests in private health providers as do many in the Conservative party....although if you have a heart attack in the middle of the night it will be my NHS acute coronary team that come in to rescue your blocked artery and your life, not BUPA.
