Thanks for the advice and welcome.

Shame others are not as nice and wecoming.

Hello and welcome CT.

You obviously didn't get karter.

I'll do my best to get a photo of him to you, so that if he is ever in your ward you can do that whole replacing-the-rectal-thermometer-with-a-daffodil-up-the-arse that they did to James Robertson-Justice in that film.

What was it again? The Seventh Seal?

Anyway I reckon there'd be 34 nurses in Dulwich.

I doubt Karter would be on my ward, as i am a gynaecology nurse. LOL

But you never know. :)

So you'd be in a better position than most to tell him to stop acting the...you know maybe sometimes it's best to emulate the British Charles Bronson and just not finish a sentence.

There used to be lots of nurses in ED, working at both Dulwich Hospital, King's and further afield. They often shared flats or houses quite locally, anytthing from two to six per property, or lived in the Nurses' homes at Both Dulwich & St Francis Hospitals. I'd be surpised if many can still afford to do the first, and the second is now impossible as the Homes have been demolished.


So actually the question is a damned good one....:'(

Hmmm, I guess it would depend upon what kind of nurses were covered by the description.


The Royal College of Nursing has 49,000 members in London covering a population of 6 million. This means they're on average of 0.8% of the total population.


Apply this to ED ward's 5,000 residents and you'd come to around 40-50.


However, as SimonM pointed out, we've got a couple of hospitals nearby and we're comparatively middle class and cheap compared with some of our neighbours. We've also got some dedicated housing.


I wouldn't be surprised if they were 4-5 times higher than average - 200 or more?


Would it be on the census?

I know dozens of nurses who live in East Dulwich, and some of them can even afford it, imagine that!


We have a good bus connection from West Dulwich to St Thomas's Hospital, rail links from East and West Dulwich to Guys and Lewisham hospitals and a large hospital at Kings and East Dulwich. There is large a health centre on Townley Road (base for district nurses and health visitors) and many GP practices (practice nurses). There are schools of nursing and midwifery at Southbank and Kings College Uni (also good rail and bus links). The base for NHS direct is in Beckenham (http://www.citylifeltd.org/uploads/gallery/Huw_Edwards.jpg) - also great rail links.

Well there's a nurse in the flat next door to me and another two doors up. Assuming this sequence is repeated throughout ED, I reckon there's at least 10,000 nurses in these here parts. In fact there must be a lot of firemen living here too because I'm one and I know there's one other in my road.

    • Well hello Manor men, I went to PM from 74-79. I was in O and Churchill. I can’t remember my tutor but do remember a number of bods. I’ve read a number of posts here about PM and recognise some things. Mudway was an arse. Hardly ever changed his suit.  Guys I remember are Alan Palmer, Wayne Peck ( had an older brother at the school and I think lived Peckham Road, Longleigh House), Owen McClery, Junior Gayle(Wing Chung master), David Banton , Steven Green ( I think he had green eyes), Rodney Evelyn, David Barton, Raymond Gillman (deceased), Neil Warner, Horace Marshaleck (deceased), Steven Watson (two years younger) I have a picture somewhere of the school winning a cross country event against other schools in the South London Press I think.  Teachers - Miss Pugh, Mr and Mrs Webster, Mr Thomas, New French teacher 1978/79 Miss Anspach, Mr Baugh, Mr Nelson, Mr Patel, Mr Sparks, Mr Dowse, African PE teacher, hard as nails, Mr Fenton for careers, Mr Kemel Also, my brother attended Adrian Lewis, a year younger.  
    • One gentleman who kept the boards up to date with community notices i.e. local residents' association events, East Dulwich Community Centre, sadly died a few years ago. He never had the keys to the NX Rd board as this was outside his ward (now known as Dulwich Hill). The council changed the locks on the boards and we do not know who was given the keys. The gentleman's widow carries on with posting community notices but only on the odd couple of boards whose locks have been broken and she can lift the cover. If I remember correctly, it was the Lib. Dem councillors in ED that initiated the boards.
    • Thanks, that’s very sensible advice  and I’ll most likely follow it. I shouldn’t need anything from them, and if anything, they may end up needing me as they’re likely to go first. Really appreciate your support.
    • Hi Jason - we had very difficult neighbours at some stage. Differently so from yours - aggressive, drinking fairly heavily etc… I tried to accommodate their many demands (and their huge dog who howled all day and used our garden as his toilet) until one day, I just started ghosting them. Cut off contact entirely, blocked their mobile phone number, ignored them when they tried to speak to me. I point blank refused to deal with them, including when they needed my signature to extend the lease to secure their new mortgage, which really panicked them. This proved highly effective and they moved soon after (after I made them sweat to sign the freehold docs they needed) I don’t know if you want to do the same if there is a personality disorder involved. But if you do, make sure all your paperwork is in order and there’s absolutely nothing you need from them.  I’m so sorry you’re going through this. It’s really unpleasant.
