For delivery, tried Khan’s a couple of weeks ago. They offer a discount if you spend £25 or more. I only ordered vegetarian food. Complimentary poppadoms were provided but don’t know if that it is normal as it was my first order. The tarka dal was very good. The portions are large but they are more expensive. The order came in under the 60 minutes that was promised. I thought the naan that was ordered was very average, like they’d been hanging around for a few hours. Some restaurants are better at baking than others. I would try them again to see what the other vegetarian dishes are like, such as the pumpkin ones. Andy P, what are your favourite dishes there? I did have an aubergine, tomatoand potato one which was good.

When you say from a number of constituents, do you mean about Tessa Jowell GP Surgery?

Oh, sorry to hear that.

Oh, when was he laid off? I know he used to be a nurse but I thought he was a self employed osteopath.

I just noticed that you wrote that you could book appointments in advance at your surgery! I wonder how many other Southwark GPs allow that because TJ certainly doesn’t. Are the District Nurses you are referring to based at the Lister surgery? I was told that there are some there. Or are the ones that visit your husband specific to patients with Parkinson’s disease?

Melbourne Grove, now Tessa Jowell, used to have a lovely osteopath called Graham. He moved to Deal and commuted for a while but think he is fully based there now. I’ve no idea if there is an osteopath based at TJ.. Dr. Stephen Johnson, now retired, used to offer dry needling (a type of acupuncture) at Melbourne Grove. Melbourne Grive also had a minor surgery facility but I’ve no idea if that now exists at Tessa Jowell.

Thank you, they appear to have a wide catchment area and my address is in it but it’s quite far to walk to.

Which surgery are you with?

It’s a cockatoo, not a cockatiel.

Trinidad, Are you sure the Practice Manager has replied on this Forum? As you said, he hasn’t replied to the NHS website since January this year. It’s good that you attached the NHS TJ link.

Are there any updates on this?

I don’t know many/any details but I know it’s been discussed on this Forum but just not on this particular thread. This thread started in 2011. I know there are/were other threads regarding this area and I’m quite sure I posted on one. You could ask Admin.

Aren’t there building plans for flats in that area? Also, is Greendale Playing Fields staying as it is? I thought there were also plans for there.

Yes, it’s ridiculous, but you should do what they say and see if it works. Record the conversation.

That’s terrible. By ringing 111, surely SELDOC should then see you at night?

Do the women who started NV still work there? They expanded quite rapidly. They have branches in Penge and Crofton Park. That £40 price for a prescription is/was shocking. I wouldn’t use a place that forced your animal to have completely unnecessary vaccinations. Better to have your pet looked after in their own home (especially cats) or in someone else’s home they are comfortable with.

I used to like going there on my way back from town. Very sorry to hear it’s closing.

Are you able to get a phone appt and not a face to face or is it both? The last doctor I saw face to face was one of the for hire doctors you mentioned on the right hand side of the reception area. That was December 2022.

Can you just queue up to withdraw cash or are other transactions like stamp purchasing required? Do M&S do cash back?

Does this info come via local vets? It would be good if one of them would make a post and contact LB Southwark about this. Do you know any details of the poison?

I presume there are cameras there? The plod *should* be looking at the footage to see who is doing this, both the thefts and the planting of the device. I encountered one in the cash machine outside the Co/op on Forest Hill Road a few years. Do supermarkets still do cash back? Do post offices allow cash withdrawals inside? It sounds like no outside cash point is safe now.

Another one to consider - I used to go to Mayow Vets in Sydenham. They are independent. They have changed hands since I first went there in 2008.

Thanks. I found it. It might be worth trying the vets in Kenbury Street, Camberwell for another opinion.

Have you looked at Deal? I know a family with now grown children and an older married couple who moved there from this area more than 10 years ago and really like it. Nice high street with quite a few good restaurants. For a city, I like Bristol a lot. Less than two hours by train to Paddington. Good hospitals. Easy access to countryside - Cotswolds, Devon and Cornwall. Also, look at Wimborne Minster, Dorset, a historic market riverside town north of Bournemouth. I did a lot of research a few years back and WM ticked a lot of boxes for me.
