I've been away for two years and went to make an appointment with my former GP at the Garden's surgery and was told that I was struck off their list as my address (Bellenden Road) is no longer in their catchment. So much for NHS choice.


I have two questions:


1) Do people know if there is any way to overturn this decision? I liked this doctor and would like continuity of care, as I have a complicated medical history.

2) If not, what surgeries do people recommend near Bellenden Road?

I had a similarly frustrating experience with the Gardens and felt I'd been treated v badly - in my case I moved temporarily from one end of Nunhead Lane to the other, before moving back again - literally 3/4months - and was removed from their list. Despite being told of course that's fine..

I may be cynical but I was also experiencing a complicated medical period and felt sceptical as to their reasons for removing me.

I suspect it may also be because you haven't been for two years; I believe GP surgeries are now able to remove you from their list if you dont' use them and/or confirm the registration for two years.

I moved to Nnhead Surgery which is brilliant but a bit far for you maybe. Sorry I can't help more..

      Did Dulwich College tolerate pupils' bigotry and racism...?

      I wonder where he could be deported to, Hungary the obvious candidate in Europe, perhaps he would get on well with Modi?   Conservative leader Kemi Badenoch and Reform UK leader Nigel Farage both said Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood should look at whether Abd El Fattah's citizenship could be revoked to enable his swift removal from the UK. Farage said in a letter to Mahmood: "It should go without saying that anyone who possesses racist and anti-British views such as those of [Mr Abd El Fattah] should not be allowed into the UK." So just racists views are ok Nige?

      If it's the same one I'm thinking of, it was a little further down the road towards LL, probably where the Fresh Flower Company is today. I'd forgotten all about it, with good reason. I think it disappeared before Blue Mountain opened and became a pizza place? I once bought a carton of milk from the deli and when I opened it, it was solid. I did get my money back though.

      How late is your Christmas Card

      But when was it posted?! I haven't posted any this year. I can't bring myself to pay the exorbitant cost of the stamps, and at least I can sort of honestly blame it on illness. If I can't hand deliver them, I send e-cards. I know it's not the same, but it's very much easier. And as for the people who still send pages of closely handwritten letters .... very admirable in terms of the hours it must have taken them to write them,  but they remind me of those spoofs eg x has just passed all their many important exams with the highest marks possible, y has just walked round the world in a week, z has just become the first person ever to be knighted twice, we are about to fly off for our fifteenth exotic holiday this year ....... Or else (or sometimes and) they are full of who has had what illnesses and accidents and other catastrophes. Is this just my relatives and distant friends? Am I somehow attracting these reams of handwritten paper?
