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.

    • He did mention it's share of freehold, I’d be very cautious with that. It can turn into a nightmare if relationships with neighbours break down. My brother had a share of freehold in a flat in West Hampstead, and when he needed to sell, the neighbour refused to sign the transfer of the freehold. What followed was over two years of legal battles, spiralling costs and constant stress. He lost several potential buyers, and the whole sale fell through just as he got a job offer in another city. It was a complete disaster. The neighbour was stubborn and uncooperative, doing everything they could to delay the process. It ended in legal deadlock, and there was very little anyone could do without their cooperation. At that point, the TA6 form becomes the least of your worries; it’s the TR1 form that matters. Without the other freeholder’s signature on that, you’re stuck. After seeing what my brother went through, I’d never touch a share of freehold again. When things go wrong, they can go really wrong. If you have a share of freehold, you need a respectful and reasonable relationship with the others involved; otherwise, it can be costly, stressful and exhausting. Sounds like these neighbours can’t be reasoned with. There’s really no coming back from something like this unless they genuinely apologise and replace the trees and plants they ruined. One small consolation is that people who behave like this are usually miserable behind closed doors. If they were truly happy, they’d just get on with their lives instead of trying to make other people’s lives difficult. And the irony is, they’re being incredibly short-sighted. This kind of behaviour almost always backfires.  
    • I had some time with him recently at the local neighbourhood forum and actually was pretty impressed by him, I think he's come a long way.
    • I cook at home - almost 95% of what we eat at home is cooked from scratch.  But eating out is more than just having dinner, it is socialising and doing something different. Also,sometimes it is nice to pay someone else to cook and clear up.
    • Yup Juan is amazing (and his partner can't remember her name!). Highly recommend the wine tastings.  Won't be going to the new chain.
