TfL plan to reroute Bus 40 away from London Bridge
dbboy replied to Bic Basher's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
It means south east London will be LESS well served for bus services and ber in mind we do not have a underground, with the exception of the already overcrowded London Overground. If these changes will affect you please take the time to respond to the consultation. Also see https://consultations.tfl.gov.uk/buses/central-london/?cid=central-london-bus-consultation -
and P13, as I found out to my cost on way back from DKH Sainsbo's, Some advance notification would have been nice.

Life Saving Defibrillator - Not in our Area

Life Saving Defibrillator - Not in our Area
dbboy replied to Hazel81's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
http://www.hese.org.uk/stay-safe/defibrillator-locator-map/ Type in the postcode, i.e. SE22 and it shows where AED's are located. Can I add that it would be a REALLY good idea if organisations, businesses, public buildings etc.. who have one, displayed something something outside the building that clearly indicated that they have an accessible defibrillator. A standard sign for this does exist which I believe the London ambulance Service can provide. These pieces of equipment can and DO make the difference between life and death. Had I not been in Kings' when it happened to me, I would likely not be here to tell you what happened. Please in any way you can, show your support. -
Life Saving Defibrillator - Not in our Area
dbboy replied to Hazel81's topic in General ED Issues / Gossip
Defibrillators are essential to help save an out of hospital cardiac arrest and statistics show only a 5% survival rate of a cardiac arrest without a defibrillator being available. The more defibrillators that are available the more chance of saving the life of a person having a cardiac arrest. Please help support this campaign to get more defibrillators locally. Restart a Heart Day 2018 Help us to train the nation in life saving CPR skills. Last year 195,000 young people were trained in life saving skills across the UK. This year Restart a Heart Day will take place on Tuesday 16 October 2018. Whether you work at a school, or you want training for your workplace or community group, this is the time to get involved. If you suffer an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest in the UK you have less than a one in ten chance of surviving. We want to change that. World Restart a Heart Day is an annual initiative which aims to train as many people as possible in CPR in one day, so that more people know these life saving skills. This year the Resuscitation Council (UK) along with the British Heart Foundation, British Red Cross, St John Ambulance and Yorkshire Ambulance Service will be working together to help train as many people as possible in the UK and make sure they know how to save a life. http://www.hese.org.uk/stay-safe/defibrillator-locator-map/ https://www.bhf.org.uk/how-you-can-help/how-to-save-a-life/cpr-kits/cpr-training-for-schools/get-involved-on-restart-a-heart-day -
Does anyone have contact details for the artist who has been doing a scenic painting of Forest Hill Road from the top looking down. He was situated at the junction of Honor Oak Park, Honor Oak Road and Forest Hill Road for the last few days. His painting was outstanding. I would really like to see the finished painting and any other paintings he has done, was a really talented artist.

Outrageous levels of Dutch people are moving to East Dulwich!
dbboy replied to dutch_ninja's topic in The Lounge
IMO The Dutch are welcome to come to ED as are any other nationality who want to enjoy ED and the surrounding areas. -
Yes, that will be a lovely way of remembering and perhaps keeping his picture in the front window as you have done so when we walk past we can always see and remember John.

I agree with you about the Internet and Oyster cards, they make life so much easier. Oh the telephone box, now don't get me started, yes lovely on their time, but outdated by technology.

Argh, the days of bar staff being numbered, choose beverage, swipe card or use token, collect glass, lean over and fill glass, consume beverage, return empty glass to moving line. Repeat. hey Artificial intelligence is here already and as things become more automated the idea is that people will have less and less to do and more and more free time to fill. If you use a supermarket, the bar code already allows you to select, scan, pack and pay for your item with no people interaction, until the damn bar code fails. You don't even need to leave home to go shopping, just get someone to pick, pack and deliver for you to the front door. I guess eventually Drone technology will increase so much that all sorts of things will be able to become possible. Technology can help but also hinder, and if I'm lucky I've got another 30 years to witness even more change. In the 70's the only thing that existed was the slide rule, ruler and calculator, no mobile phones, no computers, no tablets, no smart Tv's or meters, no ATM's, no Oyster cards, oh those where the day's. And you had to interact with people, today people walk around constantly stuck to a mobile, phoning, texting, streaming and I don't know what else!!!!!!!!!!! and sod anyone that gets in there way. Why can't people communication verbally??? Apart from the call center you have to call to sort out a problem and that has all your details and is on the Other side of the world, why can't we have them in the UK??? On the bus you actually had to physically buy a ticket from the conductor and could hop and off the open platform, but not any more because ealth and safety saws NO.

Unfortunately this appears to be the future of "modern" banking, were "personal" banking no longer exists and technology drives forward negating the interaction of people to perform banking activities. It is sad that Barclay's are closing both branches in Peckham and opening a single branch to replace them, based on the LL model. This is also happening with other banks.
