I had cause to go to Dulwich Medical Centre yesterday suffering from Sinusitis and was seen by a very professional and caring doctor

So I feel bad about my comments above - the local health centres I guess bring increased efficiencies and you can get good treatment even from someone who does not know you. Today's doctors are probably under more presssure to quickly see and diagnose patients and they achieve this with the minimum of fuss - so hat's off to them. They are a different breed from the old doctors of the past, but no less talented.

Do you remember any of the rest of my year that I listed earlier, along with Lorraine Jolly and Georgina Roffey that I have thought of since?

Knew James Saker, he went onto my Grammar School=Archbishop Tenisons, Kennington Oval.

He is now a Professor, according to Friends Re-United at Lancaster University, as I recal.


The 26th? Thats a Thursday so I might well go.


Are you thinking of sayone goodbye to John, Solstice?

None of the names look familier, it was along time ago, which one are you? I`ve got a picture of my class mates from 1964ish and I can`t remember any of their names. I can`t go on the 26th I have to work. So James is a professor, I wonder what his sister Joanna is doing now? I wish I had studied more at school. lol.

Everyone will be glad to hear that Dr Cranes memorial service happened yesterday and was touching and heartfelt by everyone there. Lots of people went to show their feeling of loss for such a generous and kind man whose home was always open to those in need. Plenty of England players showed up and alledgedly even Arsene Wenger made an appearance. It just goes to show what a truely wonderful gentleman he was that so many people wanted to show their affections. I know the family felt very appreciative of the huge warmth and depth of feeling that was expressed

Dr Crane was also my GP, i lived in Darwin st and went to Townsend Primary school.I totally agree he was a wonderful man. His skill and dedication saved my life literally. I now live in kent and was so shocked and saddened when i heard tonight why the team were wearing the black armbands.His was my claim to fame and earned me many brownie points with my son when i told him years ago that THE England Dr was once also mine! I remember his smile, his caring nature and his wonderful humour.Nothing was too much trouble day or night weekends or at un godly hours of the night. My love a deep gratitude to him and his family.

Lovely sentiments Poppy, and how very well deserved!


Do you agree that we had a real Community then and how sad it was that they built those Estates that began to destroy that Spirit?..


I live in Bexley, along (it seems) with half of Walworth!..they even held a 25-year Re-Union of Walworth School in Bexley as most had moved out.:))


Did most of your friends/neighbours move out to Kent/Surrey too during The 1970's/89's/90's Poppy?

This is dragging an old thread up but for anyone interested Dr Crane is being remembered by Southwark with other people and families who lived and worked in the area. I have just returned from the naming of John Crane street which is a new build of the regeneration of the Aylesbury estate. His wife Penny made a small speech alongside other families who are being remembered in this way.


His wonderful memory will live on

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
    • Having a BBQ (fingers crossed) in 2 weeks and need a small BBQ for veggie bits and any spare benches or garden tables and chairs to borrow to add to mine. Any going? Thanks in advance...
    • Oh dear, hope you are OK, I've had it three times and it was worse each time, but not a patch on many of those who got it before they vac' role out. Not commenting on the discussion as I got confused many days ago beyond the reminder that Corbyn would not compromise and the harm that could lead to him, the party and regards Brexit pre and post referendum the country.  Starmer goes too far the other way at times.
