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.

    • Another recommendation for Lukasz, he sorted out our bifold door. He came at the agreed time, found the issue very quickly, adjusted it, all very carefully and with attention to detail. And he was very reasonably priced as well. 
    • Well sure someone will correct me but years ago, in Singapore and I was quite young so not sure if it is true. but if you were caught stealing, your little finger or just the  tip part with nail was chopped off.  Stigma for  life as all know that was punishment for stealing… no questions asked.Totally agree it is barbaric but equally putting people  into overcrowded prison for minor offences is also not right. Tagging I guess would not work or maybe does… no idea at all.  Not so long ago, heard a talk about how European’s cope/deal with prisoners and how the suggest rate is higher and offences lowered greatly as in not going back to prison for same  or another offence.  The general gist was their approach was each prisoner mattered , was heard and listens to and a suitable package was tailored towards their needs. Not  b one package for all. Not cooped up for the majority of the day - encouraged as an example to cook, garden, grow food, other household stuff  plus study if wanted for courses, languages etc. and mental health, dependency on substance abuse also addressed. Can’t remember if they were paid c pocket money which clearly accumulated or could be used to  I purchase whatever in prison. If they can do it by experimenting and I think but not sure, at the time an English prison was learning why can’t this sort of program be rolled  out throughout UK - cut backs not an excuse - think of the millions lost by govt during Covid…  Maybe it is - no experience in the matter at all.   
    • Why have things got so complicated? I suppose a cat flap with a timer might be useful for people out all day but can't really see the point of them when its so easy to flip a simple mechanical lock. This is how my last cat flap operated but had to be replaced when cat wearing cone of shame tried to escape and broke it. The cat flap I have now is one of those linked to cats microchip but even then there is just a four way dial which allows different kinds of access - or not. Not that cat is bothered, refuses to use it and demands i open the door for her. This is bit of a rant because along with a new boiler I got a new electronic programmer which is really annoying as it takes 5 minutes to change a simple temperature whereas with old programmer it took 10 seconds. Hope you get sorted @oglander and enjoy your future servitude to your feline master.
    • Did you have the same covid jab as you have had over the years?
