I am fed up with people complaining about footpaths. What exactly is the problem? If there are serious defects, eg. paving stones lifted substantially by tree roots, then I agree something needs to be done. But if people are going to get all het up about a little bit of broken something here and a small hole there, they really need to look at their priorities. It is disgusting to see people making a fuss about such trivia when there are so many other issues to be dealt with, that no-one has the courage to confront.


Apart from anything else, if we make pavements too smooth, then people will forget how to walk over uneven surfaces, and then one day they will go somewhere where everything is not perfectly paved (e.g. abroad, or the countryside) and will trip up over everything in sight and end up seriously injuring themselves at great cost to the taxpayer (possibly even a foreign taxpayer in a country less wealthy than ours). Don't forget that a mountain rescue helicopter is more expensive than a taxi from East Dulwich to King's College Hospital.


People should learn to negotiate difficult surfaces in locations convenient to medical care.

I went through a phase of tripping every day as I walked home up Melbourne Grove on the left hand side away walking away from the station. I may be picking my feet up a little now .. but it's pretty bad.


Also the pavement of Lordship (right hand side heading towards Goose Green) from carpet / wates old site down to Lane Cafe is atrocious ... add to that puddles that dont drain away and the world of buggaboos on a saturday .. I'd say that's pretty bad.

Unless you're doing 'IT' with a new hot lover Asset,

pretty well everything is mundane, boring,

or repetitive, especially now you have your double first in your pocket.


Yep, life is more or less down hill all the way to Goose Green Roundabout and retirement, but whatchyagonnado!


Had to add a geographical location to stay on target:-$

    • "Sitting around doing job related things". Do you mean sitting and doing their jobs? "have you had your COVID jabs?" Perhaps instead of spending your time on here insulting other posters, in this case me, you would be more effectively employed contacting the practice management with a detailed description of exactly what you say you saw and when. And then see what they say. You have made a lot of assumptions with presumably absolutely no idea what those people's jobs are or when their break times are. I am not defending the practice, which seems to have some problems  I just don't like seeing people who aren't here to defend themselves being publicly attacked by someone who apparently doesn't actually know what those people were doing and why.
    • Relatively recently, they employed a couple of young people on front desk work they were excellent. I don’t know if they’re still there. And yes, they may be doing something on their computers that’s important but when you see  people queuing and no one appearing for many minutes the system seems inefficient.  Some simple changes could make a big difference.  But those changes would have to come from management rather than individual workers choosing to jump up and help. 
    • I'm happy not seeing a GP face to face.  I had WhatsApp video appointments a couple of years ago,which ended up with me being rightly sent to Tommies A and E.  I see nurses from time to time at TJ, I always have a good laugh with both them and the blood test people.  I see the practice nurse at FH from time to time and it feels like visiting an old friend. I'm not sure whether social media has made us a more negative nation, or it just feels this way due to some of you who post on this forum.  The majority of posts in ED matters and on the transport thread are complaints  How would you define lazy and useless?  There is a spectrum of productivity, and of customer service.  Some excel at one or both, but I'm not sure at what point workers drop below an acceptable level.  When I am unhappy I will complain to an organisation. Some respond better than others.  One of my first posts over a decade was to complain about a local shop.  It's a funny anecdote which is essentially a "Ok you don't want my money so I'll go and spend many 100s of pounds at a different company" but I regret not dealing directly with the shop rather than getting pointless revenge many years later.  Still won't use the shop though.        
    • Now as an ex patient my impression was that their is a general lack of accountability  or responsibility by the staff at FHRGP and heaven forbid you should disagree with them, "not allowed". They want total control with no scrutiny. How that practice survives, I really don't know.  That being said, two or three of the staff are excellent.
