I was at the bus stop on the parade on East Dulwich Rd. last Sunday week.. and was surprised

to see a dozen or so Nitrous Oxide tubes in the road.


These things..

There have been deaths caused by this legal high. Lambeth have taken steps to stop the sale of Nitrous Oxide.


Is this stuff being sold in East Dulwich shops and should residents be concerned.

Does Counsellor Barber have any views on this subject..

Hi DF for contacting me.

Currently you can only sell this stuff for medical use or catering purposes. But what's to stop someone diverting a catering use to drug taking. Nothing.

So society has a choice. So far one person I believe has sadly been reported as dying from taking this stuff. The sellers are almost all taxed businesses - if many are pretending to be selling for catering purposes.


Outlawing it would be national legislation. Using by laws to stop selling on our streets eminently practical if Lambeth feels it's a really high priority for them.


I would suggest we have many other drugs that cause far more problems.

In Southwark the under aged cigarette trading standards operations stopped for lack of resources. If Southwark has resources I would suggest it uses them in this area.

Millions of people drink millions pints of beer a day and millions of bottles of wine.

They do so over the course of many years....


Nitrous Oxide can kill some one on their first hit.


No one is going to die on their first 1/2 pint of lager.

I don't think it would (do me good)


I'm actually at Kings tomorrow about my lungs.. as I was exposed to Asbestos over a 13 year period

working for The GPO / BT back in the 70's.


And I do not smoke...


Foxy.

Grim.


There are some things in life you should definitely worry about - and would have hoped that someone at the time should have worried a bit more on your behalf.


Then there are other things no-one really need worry about - but someone decides it's a 'story' and some kind of major threat to society at large.


That's life - full of nonsense.

Not strictly true. It can only kill a person with a predisposition to certain health features, which are quite rare.


Also the overall cost of alcohol to health is much greater than nitrous. Nitrous may (depending on circumstances) present a greater risk to the individual, but alcohol presents a greater risk to society (as well as vulnerable individuals). But don't get me wrong, I don't want to ban alcohol. I'm with Prof Nutt on this issue. And I also agree with JB, that resources would be better spent elsewhere. xx

Is Dr Grey still in charge of the Chest Clinic I wonder.


I used to go and play in Asbestos all through the school hols. There was an abandoned "Esso" depot/wharf. There were stinky bunkers/broken rusty tankers and asbestos to make camps out of. Happy days !! splutter !!

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
