Yes a good day I agree.


Now, sale and such will take a good three months. New plans etc. and planning approval - 1 year to 18 months. Expect a fight if the plans aren't up to scratch and a lot of to-ing and fro-ing. Once plans approved, it takes three months (at least) before work commences. Then the build/renovation.


Best case scenario before any work begins on the site: 2 years. Probably more like 3. But at least it is moving.

The emergency clinic was not good service and was awful in my experience. Last yr I moved into a shared house, with a girl, who I did not at first realise, was completely psychotic.


She went completely nuts one week and it climaxed in a really bad night, thought people were watching her through the TV, the phone etc etc. Though all us housemates had a plan to murder her, was really scared, said she was gonna drive her car into a petrol pump.


We managed to get her to the maudsley. They sent her home.


She was standing there crying for them to help her and shouting, as she was scared and paranoid and the man said her felt threatened so he was not willing to help. Do they not deal with people who are psychotic, have training and know how to restrain or section if necessary, plus she is only a small 24 yr old girl? So he sent her home with us, 2 girls in a 20s with no training. She even asked to be sectioned, pleaded, told him she was gonna harm herself and he still did nothing. This happened twice. Another time we called the ambulance, but she thought they were 'fake' ambulance men, who we had planned to murder her and would not leave with them, they cannot force her unless she was sectioned, so then we called the police, but they could not section her unless she left the house, because she was in her on home. So the only times she could have got the help she needed were when we went to the maudsley and they didn't help us.


I do not live there anymore, but when I was there after her experience she felt so let down and would never go back to the maudsley again and with the ambulance and police not able to help, where is she supposed to go when it happens again?

    • Since you’re clearly not experiencing what we are I’m not sure I agree with any of your points. I also asked for anyone else having a similar problem… it’s absolutely fine if you’re not but I’d appreciate less of the “go live your life”. There is no need to comment with that tone, it doesn’t provide us with any help for the matter. Nor is it polite. We’re a very kind family simply not wanting damage and don’t find the actions necessary. It’s been the same driver/delivery for a while and this never used to happen. I wouldn’t post this on the forum if it wasn’t getting so frustrating. Again, the kids and myself have kindly asked for this to stop a few times with no success. We all work hard for our living and would never want (nor are we trying) to rid someone of their livelihood. But similarly, I don’t find it fair. Please feel free to PM me if anyone has any advise or shares the same.  
    • And now we have the worst labour government in many many decades who, by moving to your position on the right, are ushering in a far right reform government. Well done you.
    • You implied he did a good job in your first paragraph when you said you would have hated to see Corbyn lead the country through Covid - the alternative being Johnson, presumably? With the results we all saw. Unite - you have a problem with unions? Who work hard to see that their members get a fair deal in their workplace? How exactly are these people and groups "all as bad as each other"? In what way? Labour "purging their party of the far-left" has given us a weak prime minister who has apparently deserted any "left" (aka caring for other people and having decent moral principles) leanings he ever had. Which is why people appear to be leaving Labour in droves and voting, or intending to vote, Green or Lib Dem or for an independent Left candidate. Starmer has shot himself in the foot, in my opinion. But what would I know. What worked?! I don't know enough about what you are talking about to comment, but "believing" you know the reason someone did something does not make it true. I don't believe that Corbyn ever got "starstruck" or "forgot about his politics", but if you can provide evidence that those things are true, then fair enough. I don't think you can, though.
    • I think you need to get a grip If it's who I am thinking of, she's a young black girl in her twenties, has braids with bright colours through them and - I suspect - works with her father. It's always the same man behind the wheel and he's older than her, always in the same van, so I'm assuming it's a father-daughter combo which, if it is, I think is rather sweet.  They hustle hard in a job that is poorly paid, has little prospects, is relentless and thankless. The fact that they have stuck it out since the pandemic says a lot about them.  I think she's a lovely girl, who's perhaps a little shy - but she'll smile or chat back if you make the effort with her. And I admire her for sticking with that job for so long. Perhaps she's just one of these people who's naturally a bit clumsy or bashes things, the same way some people are heavy on their feet when they walk. But I wouldn't dream of jeopardising her job because she closes the slams the gate and doesn't 'kiss' the ring doorbell with her fingers.  Perhaps she's being passive aggressive because you are. And perhaps she also wishes she got to spend her time worrying about potential damage to her letterbox or her gate.  As for your gate / letterbox - you're talking about hypotheticals. Has there been any damage? No. Then go and live your life and worry about it when it happens.  (apols we have the wrong person, but some of my points still stand).
