So after schlepping to Kings for a blood test only to find they're operating reduced hours and I'd missed them (not complaining, shortage of staff, I get it), I thought I'd try the new TJ Centre next week.


Does anyone know if they are operating at the full advertised hours for blood tests and any sense of how busy first thing in morning?

That was a quick breakdown of equipment!


How disappointing but not unexpected. There?s nobody who?ll take control so it?ll take ages to fix. The same is seen at Tube stations where neon tubes lighting up the name of the station fail and are not replaced, because the staff don?t feel it?s any of their responsibility.

Did you not read the previous post. It was working again. Very quick to criticise without knowing all the facts. If you ever have need to visit the new health centre you will see it is very well designed and laid out. While I can't comment on the GP surgery that operates in part of the building the rest appears well managed.

I?m pleased if it?s fixed. I?m also surprised because I?ve noticed plenty of abandoned projects and unfixed problems across a range of council or government-run bodies. Have a look at your local street/station/hospital/park/bus stop and report anything that?s not working. You?ve got a keen eye for detail and righting wrongs, after all!

Please excuse this thread drift. Some more examples here....

    • We've got a Victorian coal hole cellar with a mud floor and after a couple of severe water leaks, I've taken more of an interest in the state of the dampness.  I've been running a dehumidifier for the past couple of weeks following a small water pipe leak and whilst most of the floor is now bone dry, there are damp patches along most of the wall adjoining the next house, a large damp patch in the middle of the floor that will not dry even with the dehumidifier right next to it and a patch of wet mud in a small hollow in the middle of the cellar.  An expert that lent us industrial drying equipment following a flood from a burst mains pipe said there will always be damp, but I'm a bit concerned in case there is a fundamental problem - any ideas from anyone with similar?
    • Best you post when you have an idea of dates  - waste  of everyone’s time
    • Hi there,  Looking for 10-12 jars (to start with) of local honey to fill a small section of a deli space in my work canteen. Please get in touch if you know of any community projects/small scale productions Cheers
    • Yeah, it did work out in the end, but it was way more stressful and expensive than it needed to be. He lost money. He had higher offers early on, but those buyers pulled out because of all the delays. On top of that, he spent a fortune on legal fees trying to get the neighbour to sign off on the freehold transfer. It dragged on for ages. In the end, he was lucky the final buyer stuck with it, but the price was lower, and the whole thing left a bad taste. A lesson learned. Share of freehold can be a real nightmare if the other owners aren’t cooperative. You’ve got to be 100 per cent sure everyone’s reasonable, otherwise it’s just not worth the hassle.
