Doctors great but its the ONE receptionist who makes the whole entire experience worse. Wished she'd be introduce to the rail track! She has a horrible attitude, very unpleasant voice, never smiles, talks behind patients backs without realising THAT patient is there and can hear you! Very rude, completely unhelpful. Seen many patients who just wanted to slap her! Seriously wish she'd get fired as she puts other receptionist down and the whole concept of "front person smiley friendly face is never going to be suitable for that surgery. Jenny YOU'RE FIRED. If they got rid of her I'm certainly sure the surgery will have a much better reputation.

Can not never get appointments, can not get through on the phone, can never speak to a Doc over phone, was very hard to find out who the manager was, had to phone another surgery to find that info to complain! My review and experience would have have been manageable if it was not for that ONE horrid receptionist! A lot of patients also completely dislikes her. Have had many many disgusting experience. But its the nearest surgery! All other receptionist is by far lovely smiley and a delight to meet Except that horrid Jenny.

Hi


I too have nothing but bad experience with this clinic. It is nigh on impossible to see a doctor there - December prep-booked appointments have all gone and when you call for same day you have to wait for 20 minutes for phone to pick up only to be told there are no appointments left. I have just been told by them that the Lister clinic is now also no longer walk-in and is referral only. So my choice is to keep trying in the vain hope my child will get a mythical walk-in appointment this side of Christmas, go to A and E with him or pay privately.


We have been with the surgery for some time but each time I go through the pain of trying to get an appointment for my children there I vow to leave. Please, please, please can someone recommend a functioning clinic with a South Camberwell (SE5/SE22 border) catchment area. All the clinics around me seem to have one or two stars on the NHS website (although at the moment even moving to a two star rated clinic would be better than Melbourne Grove).


James Barber - surely there is something that can be done collectively about the poor running of local surgeries? If this was a school, I am sure it would be in special measures by now.

      Thames Water meter rip off?

      By Rumbero · Posted

      Thanks for taking the trouble to do the calculation.  To be honest, it’s never occurred to me to report it online.  I’ll have to look into it.  I’ve just spoken to the ‘helpline’ and, after listening to ten minutes of some, admittedly, not too disagreeable jazz music, eventually got through to the call centre.  After a lot of to-ing and fro-ing, during which the operator was clearly reciting from a script, the essential question of why I continue to be billed by the RV method, despite their insistence on fitting a meter three years ago, went unresolved.  At first they couldn’t confirm whether I had a meter at all (not their department) but then agreed that I do have one but that it’s ’inactive’ (despite clearly recording usage as detailed above). I was told to contact the ‘meter department’ separately on a different number (Mon-Fri only) and was then asked if I wanted to sign up for various ‘pensioner’ benefits, none of which I understood (probably because I am a pensioner) before being asked to provide ‘feedback’, which I politely declined.  Looking forward to listening to some more jazz on Monday morning though.

      That would be 78.231 m3, that is 78,231 liters.  The average water consumption per person in the UK is around 141 liters per day I believe.  So I'd say you're doing very well 👍 Have you tried to report your reading online?

      Apart from potentially saving money (which TBF is more likely if there are fewer people living in your home) it is better for the environment to have a  water meter,  as you have an incentive to use less water. But roll on the re-nationalisation (is that a word?) of the water companies, before our green and pleasant land is covered with raw sewage. And so that the money from our water bills goes to improve the infrastructure rather than lining the pockets of already rich people. Vote Green! Ooops sorry, that's another thread.
