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.

    • The Cornish Gouda was featured in an early episode of 'Rick Stein's Cornwall'. It's actually made by a Dutch family who moved here. The series is being repeated on BBC2 at the moment, so it's probably available on the iPlayer. Cheese Block stock a great 'Old Amsterdam' aged Gouda, if you can bring yourself to go in, or M&S do one made with Jersey milk. I've never found the Cheese Block all that grumpy. I think they just get a bit frustrated when it's busy and people don't know what they want. It's not ideal, but I try to go in when it's quiet if I'm undecided, and they're almost friendly. Here's a link to the Rick Stein show. It'll be available soon, apparently. Hopefully it'll help you track down the Gouda.   https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m000qzxr  
    • It’s Mons all the way for us. Super friendly. And they know their customers . They even asked me why I bought so much Comté. LOL. This is the cheese from my area in France  and I eat it without thinking. I LOVE their Fourme  d’Ambert, one of the oldest cheeses in France. Much creamier than Roquefort and much cheaper too. Also love their selection of goats cheese - and the fact that they regularly discount cheeses that have ripened a bit too much, which is how I like my cheese. Been lobbying them to make Fromage Fort, which is a hit like potted cheese. You take old leftover cheeses and ferment them in white wine. If other Burgundians are in the area, please join the lobbying effort.  Heritage cheese used to sell an absolutely amazing Gouda from Cornwall and I really enjoyed this but they’ve stopped selling it.  Can’t comment on Cheese Block - so grumpy in there I’ve stopped going in. Perhaps I’m missing out.       
    • Yes, but I remember it fromages ago.
