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.

    • Oh now you're coming over all defensive. What happened to the nice Sue, because since the early part of the year your approach seems to have changed and you've become much more challenging. No you have not broken any rules and even if you had why would I involve Admin, that's a ludicrous thing to say.  Take care Sue. 
    • I was the opposite of you. I never felt particularly happy around Brixton late at night - I didn't know it that well. Do you remember the name of the late- night Irish pub opposite the railway arches near the BR station? Was it Mulligan's? Brannigan's? To be fair, until the East London Line extension, Rye Lane walking south wasn't a favourite of mine after dark either. The only pub left on there was The Hope, which was in the other direction. It felt very bleak. I think that makes a huge difference. When The Gowlett was boarded up, Adys Road felt very different. It's like a beacon now. Pub violence does seem to have had its day in inner London. Maybe it's a result of the disappearance of pool tables, flat-roofed pubs and cheap Stella offers. I bet you could still find a Saturday night kick-up in New Addington or the  Becontree estate in Dagenham. Definitely. Pubs next to stations, kebab shops and ironically named nightclubs are all to be avoided in smaller places. The weirdest place I've ever had random trouble was in a club in St. Ives in Cambridgeshire.  I think it was called 'Options'. It was the only club there.  See also 'Jekylls' nightclub in Hyde, Manchester - a truly dreadful place where getting thrown out for fighting was infinitely preferable to spending the evening in there and coming out stinking of stale chip fat. I took a kicking in 'Kingsway Kebabs' in Swansea after a night in 'The Aviary' (so named because it was 'full of birds') nightclub. But that wasn't so random. It was a local girl, who gave me a leathering because I'd run off for a large chicken doner, rather than dance with her to 'Criticize' by Alexander O'Neal. Sorry, Sue, I've digressed a little.  To answer your question, I think London feels relatively safe overall.  
    • I’m happy to report that I got a much earlier prescription review than the 22 September.  Not sure what that was down to but I was sent a text to say to expect a telephone call on a certain day and time for earlier this week.  It was with a pharmacist and not a doctor.  I was later told to expect a telephone call on call on both the 19 and 23 September.  They are really pushing the boat out. Not complaining. Also, Dr. Shivji is back working.
    • "Firing"? "Demanding"? A "habit on here of 'demanding' answers"?  Crikey. I didn't say you "should" do anything! This is a forum.  For discussion. I will say whatever I like and ask whatever I like,  within the forum rules, as can anybody else  Please move your issues with me to the thread I have started in the lounge on feeling safe in London, because this is a thread about a burglary in Lacon Road. If you continue to post your complaints about me on this thread, I shall not respond, so do feel free. Or if you think I have broken any forum rules, do feel free to report me to admin.
