I don't know Manda, so if I was asked, for no good reason at all to say, posit an appropriate song on the matter all that occurs is Toyah Wilcox's 'It's A Mystery'.


For such it is.

Been asked by someone who knows me to explain my first post which they thought was starnge. Michael Caine starred in a film in the mid 80's called Mona Lisa ( yes the explanation is that simple) with Bob Hoskins, it was a gangster type film. Of possible interest might be the fact that some scenes were filmed at the community centre next to Dulwich medical centre, fronting Daryl Road and backing onto CPR. Of great co-incidence, at that time Brenda Blethyn lived nearby in CPR, and went on to star in a film with Michael Caine called "Little Voices" (I think that was it's title), also starring Jane Horrocks. To para-phrase, I wonder how many people know that!!!!
I knew that cos I went there and so did my father who was mates with him, hence the interest in this post. I remember my old art teacher, who was only about 200 yrs old at the time and whose name escapes me for the moment, constantly telling me stories about what they got up to, all denied by my father !!!! I wonder if EDOldie went there too?

    • Really? Yes you are probably right as I know from personal experience with Guys… as I claiming travel costs back, that no one told me I could claim! Left hand does not know what right hand is doing regarding admin..  If they charged people for wasting overstretched staff in A& E as in not urgent just might deter people from wasting precious time…. But then you need interpreters, to explain if language is a barrier and admin staff to administer..  Correct me if I am wrong but is there not a train from Denmark Hill or East Dulwich which goes to London Bridge? Would be faster than 2 buses I would have thought.    Oh, forgot about Tessa Jowell but thought you needed GP referral in which case, that would be the place to go rather than a bigger hospital. Know there is one in Beckenham and you can call and they will give you an idea as to wait time…..same I hope at TJ…assuming they answer phone.. If one really things about it…too many  people in London for example and to few hospitals…    
    • I don’t think it’s licensed for Sundays. It is licences for Fridays, but there hasn’t been anyone there on a Friday for years. So I doubt it. i think there’s a market at the Horniman on Sundays. Also pretty sure there’s one outside Herve Hill station on a Sunday.
    • I believe there is a minor injuries department at Guys, though I may have misremembered. Not very convenient for SE22 now the 40 no longer goes near. You have to get 2 buses or a train. Charging people (not sure if you mean financially or legally) would waste a lot more time, I would have thought? And  a bad bruise could be serious, depending on the cause and possibly other symptoms.
