Please click link believe which gives a very different story to the answer you gave me about empty houses. Is this information below false, if so can you explain why the audit commision gave Southwark council a red flag, making it the second worst borough in London. Thanks http://www.southwarklabour.co.uk/7267fa84-6829-4114-9dc4-d6cbae4015f4 what am I like, forgot to put the link.

James; Please click link below, where it gives a very different account on the housing situation. Is this information false, why was Southwark council given a red flag by the audit commision. http://www.southwarklabour.co.uk/7267fa84-6829-4114-9dc4-d6cbae4015f4 Sorry wrong thread

according to the Audit Commission?s annual inspection. Southwark had the joint second worst inspection report in London. The council?s failure to improve council housing and a sharp deterioration in its social care services were singled-out in the report for particular criticism. Southwark is one of only two councils in London to receive a ?red flag? for its housing services, which means that housing problems are ?not being tackled adequateley" In the weekly mag for bidding, there is a page telling you last weeks places, what band and length of time on waiting list, very depressing for those living in unbearable situations.

As Mercury Rev sings, Holes, dug by little moles, angry jealous spies, got telephones for eyes. Keep digging Reggie, one more hole, surely.

Alice, You should have a look at you own tone, what holes? You may have been lucky enough to ask mummy to take you back, but not everyone is in that situation. In fact, I've met many young people who cannot live at home and struggle on EMA. They can claim benefits if involved with social services but many do not want to go down that route. I seriously think a lot of people posting here have led very diffrent lives and there eyes are shut to how the other half live.

Yes Helena it is a serious question, I agree, from the help recieved by people like yourself to the inhumane conditions of detention centres, a criteria is somehow put in place. You know nothing of the GGS backgrounds but seem to have made a very stereotypical judgement, and set some imaginary criteria for the GGS.

Helena, How would you feel if it was refugees squattin the house, would that be okay then.

Hi James, I don't understand what you mean by "slightly over the target for re letting them", are people being moved into council properties before they are habitable? I find it strange that you can give a figure on empty private properties but do know know the number of council houses. Are you saying there are no council houses apart from the ones you mentioned above, lying empty for more than 37 days?

Hi James, I was wondering if you knew how many council houses lie empty in Southwark. I noticed on another thread you mentioned about empty private houses and how the council have got involved. I can find nothing in Southwarks website. Thanks

J Barber, Can you tell me how many council houses lie empty, and what is being done about them?

Thanks Sharon. My cousin left the next day travelling, we didn't even think of the police, but I'll give them a ring.

Been down to shop again to put up card offering ?50 reward, my cousin is travelling abroad tomorrow, and feels he would be at a disadvantage without it.

My cousin is here on holiday and lost his Ipod touch, we went to the Prime Time web cafe/DVD rental store on Lordship Lane at 5.00pm. We were approximately in there for 10 minutes, the last time he remembers using it was while in the store, so we presume it was dropped around the store and that particular vacinity of Lordship Lane. He would be forever grateful if this has been found or maybe handed in. Thanks

http://www.pulsetoday.co.uk/story.asp?storycode=4125143 If you scroll down the page of this link you can read Sir Liam Donaldson's (Chief Medical Officer) letter regarding the vaccines for healthy children. I'm not sure if this vaccine will be an option after the end of this month, for healthy children. I have no experience of this vaccine, but if you do a search you will find threads, where others have.

My mum has just came back from visiting family, my cousins little boy has had eye drops then a course of antibiotics but still the infection came back. My mum took castor oil up to her, before going to bed she poured a little on cotton wool and wiped over the eye and again for the other one. There was an obvious difference in the morning, within a couple of days it was clear, and has stayed clear. She always used this and I cant think of a time it didn't work.

Brierly are based in Dulwich hospital, East Dulwich Grove, I just went round at 12wks, I found them there whenever I wanted them, and no panic from them if I couldnt make appointments.

I was in same situation and looked up and phoned a private midwife in my area, from phone book, she told me the local community midwifes, bit of a cheek on my behalf, I was with Brierly, they were brilliant, there number below, if your not in there catchment they may be able to tell you who are, happy pregnancy. 020 3299 6163 Think it best phoning morning, if no answer leave a message and they'll ring back

Hi Belle, Castor oil is fantastic for clearing infection in the eyes, wait until your boy's sleepin then put some on cotton wool and wipe over his eye, I've never known it not to work, and much easier than drops.

probing

No MM I have no agenda, I'm just curious if there is a connection between long hours, and the issues I have already mentioned above. I think it is sad if junior doctors are struggling and feel they cannot turn to there seniors for help, as stated in the link I put up.

http://familydoctor.org/online/famdocen/home/common/brain/head/084.html Found this, if you scroll down the page it ells you what to look out for, this may be immediately after the injury. Hope opthalmologist right that you spoke to, did he give you any explanation to why it was happening. but I would go to one of the places mentioned above, just to be sure, hope all goes well.
