Lovely staff in Day Lewis Pharmacy Melbourne Grove

Recommended Posts

Have been meaning for ages to sing the praises of the staff in the Day Lewis pharmacy in Melbourne Grove. They know the names of most of their customers, (even recognise who I am if I phone them) and are always efficient, polite and cheery to everyone. There are so many lovely people in the shops in the East Dulwich area.
I would like to add to this that the staff is equally lovely at Day Lewis Pharmacy on Forest Hill Road. The same friendly smiles and they also seem to know my name when I phone and remember my prescription, even though I am a very occasional user. It makes me feel part of a community.
On the subject of the pharmacy on FHR, James Barber contacted the pharmacy to tell them they could get the council to remove the tagging, free of charge, that had been sprayed on their shutters. It was removed very speedily, for which I am grateful. I find it difficult to accept, though, that a shop owner or manager can just leave tagging and make no attempt him or herself to remove it. (It had been there for several weeks at least.) FHR shops parade is looking pretty good right now, but shop fronts covered in ugly tagging don't help at all.

    • I sometimes don't feel as comfortable as I did but it's not because I'm older, it's because I'm sober. Staggering home when I was younger I always felt I like a had a cloak of invisibility around me. And a magic compass - not even sure how I found my way home some nights. 
    • I'm London born and bred and have always considered myself streetwise having grown up in Notting hill (pre getrification) and I lived on the border of Harlesden (kensal green) in the 90's  when it was pretty sketchy round there .and I spent much of the 80's and early 90's in downtown New York.. I would walk everywhere at all hours of the day and night and never felt particularly uneasy largely because I was always mindful of my surroundings and walked with 'purpose'. I don't know wether its because I'm now so much older but I don't feel as comfortable as I used to walking round London. Today I was in the West end and I made sure to carry my bag on the opposite arm to that facing the kerb and felt uneasy when I saw people wizzing around on limebikes or scooters close to the kerb..I never got my phone out at all...I never used to feel like this but just recently I've had friends witness phone and bag snatching in central london in broad daylight..apparently it happened so fast in both instances there was nothing anyone could do to help..One phone snatching was during the tube strike 7.30am two guys on bikes grabbed a mans phone..My friend took the victim to a nearby hotel to sit down and recover the hotel said due to the tube strike they had witnessed many duo's of youth out very early on bikes aware that there were more pedestrians around at that time with their phones out trying for Ubers or looking at directions. I would'nt say I feel 'unsafe' I just feel more aware of being a possible target for crime than formerly. I don't know if this is due to being older or due to reading the press.
    • The fact everyone has had a CCTV camera in their pockets for the last 15+ years has done a huge amount to prevent and mitigate random drunken violence.  Thugs can't get away with what they used to anymore.
