I Had Measles as 4-5 y/o in the early 1950's. Millions died world wide at that time.


I also had Whooping Cough at the same time. I was Very poorly.


I can still clearly remember lying on our settee with my mum. I had a temp. of 105 F

Our G.P. made a home visit and my dad had to go to Kembers, a late night Chemist at Camberwell Green

to get some Medicine.. No Idea what that may of been at the time. There was No Vaccine


I did not die.. We went to the seaside at the weekend and my dad took me out on a boat trip.


The next day I had a miraculous recovery.


Fresh air.. Get out and about.


Not at all healthy to stay in doors..


In the 40's before I was born, my mum had T.B.

She was sent to Pinewoods Sanatorium. It was Winter.. A foot of snow on the ground..

They left the windows open. They went for walks in the snow. It was Freezing.

She recovered...


Fresh air. The best remedy for most illness.

That high temp must have killed off some of your brain cells.

Well At birth as most babies I had 100 Billion Brain Cells.


I seemed to of survived with what I have left.


there's another type of brain cell, called a Glial cell, that can divide to form new cells.


I must of been blessed with a glut of those,


... don?t criticize ... What you can?t understand ..

Aaaaanyway... back to the matter in hand. Southwark News reports on local charity shops reopening. Please do what you can to visit them as I know that charities have suffered massively with the loss of revenue during lockdown.

"Fashion charity shop TRAID started reopening its larger shops this week including its Peckham branch.

The Rye Lane shop opened on Thursday, June 18, with social distancing measures in place.

Its new window displays feature rainbow collections ? a nod to the NHS and all our key workers during the pandemic.

Mental health charity Mind?s East Dulwich charity shop ? in Grove Vale ? is also now open.

Donated good are being isolated for 72-hours before being sorted.

St Christopher?s Hospice says the majority of its shops will be open by Tuesday (June 23).

Till areas have been fitted with acrylic screens and contactless payment is the preferred method."

Fresh air and sunlight actually do make a big difference in fighting off viral illnesses. During the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918, those who were treated outdoors in field hospitals (presumably because other hospitals were overwhelmed) had better outcomes. And the importance of Vitamin D in fighting Covid-19 has now been widely acknowledged.

Hear hear, mate!

What an absolute load of garbage it is to rattle on about "hysteria" in such a situation!

Anyone in any doubt go read up the details of symptoms and treatment for hospitalised people, the appalling business of having to try to breath via a tube shoved down your throat. Unbelievable lack of empathy/understanding, to take risks with anyone elses health by moaning about masks etc. Just get on with it, and shut up.

    • A quick assessment on having a barter scheme amongst the community. An exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    I wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I don’t have IT knowledge to set this up unfortunate, but I do have skills that I could offer. From past experience, it would probably work best as a direct exchange rather than coupon credit.    I may be flaunting the rules by posting on this twice, admin please feel free to delete one if this is the case.      
    • Echoed. Thank you for stepping up.   whilst I’m here, I was thinking it would be a good idea to have a barter scheme amongst the community. an exchange of goods and services may be really helpful during these difficult times.    wonder if it’s something that someone would be willing to set up separately and link to the forum? Or perhaps  an additional aspect of the forum itself if it was easy to include? I’ll put it out on the forum to evaluate interest.   
    • As they have been closed, either as an antique shop or a cafe, for a number of years, the words 'go whistle' spring to mind. They are history now. 
    • I recall chandelier not wanting a review on this forum good or bad
