does anyone know if there's a drop in place to see a health visitor - I can't get to our surgery's baby clinic and I don't think I need to see a doctor, but it seems a bit ridiculous having a home visit for someone to look at Miss Oi's vicious nappy rash that isn't going away. All I'm after is some suggestions for dealing with it! Thanks.

It's probably gone fungal. Depending on Miss Oi's age, you might be able to get some Canesten over the counter. Speak to your pharmacist.


If that's not possible, you can go to the Lister drop in centre in Peckham and ask to see a GP.


I would not bother with health visitors for a nasty nappy rash. Most of them have no medical qualifications.

Health Visitors are qualified nurses who have done a degree in specialist community nursing. You might be muddling them with the nursery nurses/support staff who help in clinics with weighing the babies/basic duties. My experience has been that as soon as you ask a question/say you need to speak to the HV, you get pointed in their direction/go into their queue to be seen.


Oimissus - if you call up your HV team & leave a msg they'll be able to get back to you asap & let you know if there is drop in - seem to remember there being an HV clinic at the albrighton centre on a Tues 1.30-3pm.


If you haven't already might be worth trying lots of nappy free time (easier daytime than over night!) & metanium cream has always worked for bugglet x

      Maybe Angelina did see them, however how many people and drivers didn't?  Just takes one to cause life changing for both.  Wouldn't it be more sensible if cyclists realised lights and reflective gear is not just to help them see but to potentially save their lives by making them visible to all.

      The Telegraph and the other right wing media, do they hate Britain?

      I agree with this, I'm afraid.  I see it every day within the industry - a lot of it is to do with the fact that the people working in it are younger now and don't realise how much they're being subconsciously indoctrinated by certain forces (social media and group-think), so they're now pathologically incapable of objectivity. Also, they don't read books, pick up the phone to experts, or generally know how to research properly.  On a lot of documentaries I've worked on, I've been leant on hard to peddle narratives that are not only heavily biased, but often outright inaccurate, and I've fought back where I can. It's really depressing,  I'd like to think that, at the BBC, I'd be immune from these influences, and allowed to project a 360 view, but it's sadly  not the case. You'd also be surprised at how toothless the BBC can be when presented with something that's irrefutable but could, say, upset Murdoch or the DM...  Hands up, I'm guilty of platforming extreme right-wingers, misogynists, anti-abortionists, racists, anarchists, pro gun lobbyists, rape-apologists... you name it, I'm all for putting them in a programme. Even though I deplore what they stand for, it's important to me to have a counter-view, and they almost always hang themselves.  (Job done.)  It's funny that certain people are up in arms about Rockets posting 'misinformation' in the Traffic threads, but  seem OK with it in broadcast, as long as it aligns with their views. You have to ask yourselves, what is it that you really want? If it's an echo chamber then just watch Fox News or CNN, however you lean. But then what's the point of it all? I fear the ship's sailed, so I don't know why I bother.

      That’s right, we could see them passing us at the stops and then as we overtook them. There was one moped without lights doing about 30mph.    Stupid is one word, but when it puts pedestrians at risk, it’s a different word. We’ll be raising it and hopefully get some publicity about road safety awareness
