An appeal. My faith in human kindness has been truly restored today by a very kind couple with their Young baby boy who live in 'The gardens' by Peckham rye park. My son Gary was searching everywhere for a chemist or a mothercare store to buy a tens machine for my daughter in law to take back to kings college hospital where they have been for the past 4wks due to a difficult pregnancy. He had asked everyone on his quest for help to find a shop he could buy 1, when this very kind couple offered to take him back to their home & give him theirs. They also offered him a shower, food if he had needed it too. As we are all from a little village in East Sussex he had no idea what an Oyster cards was so they explained he would need 1 to get a bus back to the hospital & gave him theirs with credit on it. They couple wouldn't accept payment but Gary & Caroline & myself would love to be able to find these very special people & thank them again. So please share this post everyone x

How very kind of them. It's lovely to hear about people going out of their way to help each other like that, particularly when the media dwell on doom and gloom all the time.


In case your situation continues, you might find it helpful to know that you can pay with a contactless credit or debit card on most London transport (not the 'heritage' old buses on a few tourist routes). Costs the same as Oyster.

I would be most surprised and alarmed should anyone there divulge details of anyone's address, name, anything identifying. Patient confidentiality it's called.

I wasn't suggesting she was looking for her husband! I just thought if he had gone back to their house as offered he might remember which one it was if he went back! I'm assuming he declined their offer and waited in the park whilst the guy went and got the thing he needed...


Anyway, to the OP, I wish you and your daughter all the best. Good luck.

    • Morally they should, but we don't actually vote for parties in our electoral system. We vote for a parliamentary (or council) representative. That candidates group together under party unbrellas is irrelevant. We have a 'representative' democracy, not a party political one (if that makes sense). That's where I am on things at the moment. Reform are knocking on the door of the BNP, and using wedge issues to bait emotional rage. The Greens are knocking on the door of the hard left, sweeping up the Corbynista idealists. But it's worth saying that both are only ascending because of the failures of the two main parties and the successive governments they have led. Large parts of the country have been left in economic decline for decades, while city fat cats became uber wealthy. Young people have been screwed over by student loans. Housing is 40 years of commoditisation, removing affordabilty beyond the reach of too many. Decently paid, secure jobs, seem to be a thing of the past. Which of the main parties can people turn to, to fix any of these things, when the main parties are the reason for the mess that has been allowed to evolve? Reform certainly aren't the answer to those things. The Greens may aspire to do something meaningful about some of them, but where will they find the money to pay for it? None of it's easy.
    • Yes, but the context is important and the reason.
    • That messes up Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland - democracy being based on citizenship not literacy. There's intentionally no one language that campaign materials have to be in. 
    • TBH if people don't see what is sectarian in the materials linked to above when they read about them, then I don't think me going on about it will help. They speak for themselves.  I don't know how the Greens can justify promising to be a strong voice for one particular religion. Will that pledge hold when it comes to campaigning in East Dulwich (which is majority atheist)? https://censusdata.uk/e02000836-east-dulwich/ts030-religion
