I'd shortlisted the FP 7F as sadly, although I'd dearly dearly love an acoustic we don't have enough room at home for much bigger than the Roland. I'd be interested in your views on it - is this the one you've got? Wonder what's changed with the FP80? Cheers Helen

HI there - I got the Suma catalogue too and you make a fair saving buying in bulk from them. I think - unless its changed - that you got free delivery if u spend ?250 - you can get a delivery if u spend less but they charge - not sure how much. They were encouraging people to buy in a group to hit the ?250 mark, so if u know more people near u interested then that might be the way to do it..

UK Pianos really good - helpful website and shop in Enfield. See: http://www.ukpianos.co.uk

and to echo the positivity... Went past ths sculpture on the bus. Was looking good and thinl its a great use for a tree stump so v excited about any unveiling! Seasons greetings. H

Why should the onus be on people ot attend on the 11th December? Personally I would have had to have taken time off to attend. Why should I use leave time to complain about a service that should work anyway? These problems have been going on for some time at DMC....I'm very happy 'complaining' or 'sharing my experiences' however you wish to word it through the channels posted by others above. Other avenues of communication are open - not limited to turning up on the 11th December...

I've never heard 'boys are lazy' before! Glad you are so proud of yours. Boys are individuals - just as girls are - and will develop as individuals. My first one - desperate to crawl. Number two -not interested - just wanted to climb. Let give it up for children doing their own thing in their own time! Its a fascinating journey to watch and a privilege to be part of. Helen

Have to agree. It is his prerogative. Also - judging a whole person on the basis of one response to a request (which you happen to disagree with)is unfair surely? Generosity of spirit goes both ways (and this would include understanding and accepting someone else's stance).

Anyone know if any others? Feedback on this year's reminds me of previous visits there and it lacked magic shall I say! Thanks in advance. Helen

Thanks for organising James. Have emailed details and will mention it to others I know. What I wouldn't give for a non-faith/ non Haberdashers/Harris/ Co-ed....

He's spot on about overacted Dr Who - style over substance trying to look clever. And I'll miss Ripper Street. edcam Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > I'm glad uncleglen doesn't work for the BBC!

I'm a (Union) Health and Safety Rep for my workplace. I'm surprised the council don't want to know - perhaps it's a matter of getting the right number... I would have though Southwark 'Building Control' would be the place to start. Their website says: Dangerous structures A dangerous structure is any structure which could endanger somebody because of its condition. This includes buildings; parts of buildings i.e. loose slates, tiles, garden walls, fences and hoardings. How to report a dangerous structure Please call 020 7525 5397/5582/5596 Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm or 0845 600 1285 outside normal working hours. Email: [email protected] Please tell us Address of the danger Description of what you consider to be dangerous and it's location Any information known about the site ownership or access Your name and contact number so that we can advise you of the action taken (optional) The council has statutory duties to deal with dangerous structures under the London Local Authorities Act 2000 and the London Building Acts (Amendment) Act, 1939, to ensure that all structures within the borough which are considered dangerous are made safe with the shortest possible delay. Buildings can become dangerous at any time and for a variety of reasons ranging from settlement or old age, vehicle impact, vandalism or design defects, to more dramatic causes such as fire, explosion or storm damage. We work closely with the Police, London Fire Brigade and other emergency services as well as external government agencies such as the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) and the Environmental Agency to ensure buildings in Southwark are safe. Sounds like a small site - see here if you're interested in the builder's responsibilities re risk management etc: http://www.hse.gov.uk/construction/areyou/builder.htm Good luck. Helen

Thanks for posting the update SebsC. Hope it does improve, but again, does sound like a bit of a fob off. Co-owner should't be blaming a Practice Manager who's left - very unprofessional - but taking some responsibility... 'co-owner' should mean something - i.e. keeping an eye on your practice. Inexcusable IMO... Seriously tempted to move family to another GP elsewhere.

BUT - none of that excuses the treatment some are receiving/medical treatment some are NOT receiving. Admittedly more are likely to post a bad than a good review but...

Agreed - sounds like a bit of a fob off!

So - 6 staff leaving - doesn't sound like a happy place to work! Do they every audit these places?

AND - when denying the chance of a diagnosis means that someone has been unable to work for 4 years? That may 'save' the NHS money, but its at the sake of costs elsewhere.... Suspect the system isn't joined up enough and can be a bit like 'robbing Peter to pay Paul'. reeko Wrote: ------------------------------------------------------- > As we have a national health service that we all > pay for, I absolutely think GPs should consider > cost when referring people for testing, otherwise > everyone with a stomach ache could demand an MRI > and millions of pounds would go down the drain.

Um - I can sadly. Can't prove it but suspsect it to be the case. Wasn't a GP, but was a case of a more specialist unit offering a less-suitable service/treatment rather than a more suitable(more expensive) diagnosis for something.
