I presume most threads are started by blow ins. Why would this one particularly upset you Grok? Seems harmless to me. Anytime I'm tempted to add to it I think that I'm probably not a groovy fucker and I really would only want to show what great taste in music I have.

I thought it was self explanatory. Only blow. Ins would be "going home for the weekend".

nowhere NOWHERE can prepare a well-done bacon sandwich.

At home or nowt.

No matter how many times I request or explain what I want a well-done bacon sandwich is not attainable.

They say they understand, but they don't.

Bastards.

The bloke serving in one of the LL cafes who, when totalling the bill and telling me how much it comes to, just says "ELEVEN" (or whatever the amount is).


Am I already old-fashioned in still expecting (and thinking polite) "that's eleven pounds please" (or words to that effect) ?

This is not quite a tiny little thing that causes me irrational rage, it is probably a big issue for all. "doctors" when you are sitting in their "office" and they stare and type on their pc while the consultation is taking place, it's as if you are talking to an empty space or the wall. I hate it. You could be complaining about having 8 heads and they wouldn't look at you, they would just type 'patient has 8 heads'. No eye contact, no good bedside manner anymore. I tried facing the other way one time and was told off for having challenging behaviour. huh
If they are experienced doctors they shouldn't have to google symptoms, I know you are only joking ????, I could google my own symptoms and not go to the doctors. Having no bedside manner lacks communication between patient and gp.

I had a problem with my arm.. It was locked an very painful. several doctors at DMC just gave me Diclofenac..


Then one doctor there Googled the symptoms and found the problem.. It was actualy a Frozen Shoulder.

Afrozen shoulder is extreemly painful and goes through 3 stages over a 18 month period.


Eventually I was given a Hydrocortison injection which after about 4 days freed up my arm..


I was told it would last 6 months but 10 years on the problem has not returned..


Most if not all GP.s use the internet.

My frozen shoulder was 10 years back.. You got 20 min + back then..

You just went to DMC .. sat down and took your turn 8 + doctors back then no appointment need.

they shouldn't rely on the internet. Did they not go to medical school? Next time I will google my symptoms and get the diagnosis and deal with it myself or just go and ask for the prescription max 2 minutes with doctor, no eye contact needed, they can just keep their head stuck in the computer. What I am actually talking about is face to face communication with a doctor. Yes they should be given more time with the patient and afterwards write up their notes.

    • They used to have a very good bookshop - more academic type books and general books around grief and bereavement. Not sure if that is included in the new CARE building.  After my mother died, we continued to go to the hospice as they did a very good Sunday Lunch at a very reasonable price. They also had musicians playing in the centre.  The gardens at St Christopher's are beautiful and open to all. If you have never been to the Hospice , what hits you when you enter as the feeling of calmness and peace, in contrast to general hospitals. They also have a programme of events - talks, music, quizzes . Comedian Tom Allen does a lot of fundraising for the hospice. Some years ago, my husband who has been a volunteer for over 15 years, and I went to a cream tea there.
    • Another bakery staple in days gone by - bread pudding. Place bakers(?) where Harry's is now always used to sell big chunks of this. I think Morrisons also used to sell it in a packet of 2 slices. Are bakeries now just dumping their unsold bread? I make bread pudding regularly - use reduced bread from supermarkets ( loaf cost me 22p) and last time made 3 batches one for us plus two for friends.
    • Went to thee Viet place in LL some time ago and got charged £9 for a pot of tea  Hubby paid bill and did not notice that they had overcharged. Frequently go past the old Moulin restaurant- rarely see people in it. No indication whether they are providing meals as no menu outside (unless they have pit it up in last few days) Got impression that it was a wine bar only. Love Dulwich is usually busy between 12 - 2 pm when they have their lunch time specials  not been there in evening or weekends.
