I'll be honest, no idea, but it's normally a GP so they can do the same as your own GP could, even if thats a referral.CharltonKerry said:Thanks haven’t thought of that, you probably won’t know, but would they be able to diagnose long Covid? Or do you need an appointment at a specialist1 -
People asleep on trains, especially first thing in the morning.

Used to do my head in this too. Sometimes I'd get on the train at Gravesend and they'd be asleep and they'd still be asleep when I woke up at the other end at Charring Xcharltonkeston said:People asleep on trains, especially first thing in the morning.

Is this what they call Charing Cross.MrLargo said:What a pleasant coincidence that we're on the subject of GPs. I'm going to the Sevenoaks Town Medical Centre this afternoon to unload the sort of rage that I usually reserve for ticket inspectors on South Eastern Trains.
My mum had a stroke 3 years ago and now has limited speech. About 6 months ago, we finally managed to get her weekly prescriptions organised so that she had a dossete box delivered every Friday. Town Medical Centre managed to cock it up in various ways during the first few months - failing to send the prescription to the chemist, sending it to the wrong chemist, etc. Been okay the last couple of months though, until last week. My mum's medicine didn't turn up - went to the pharmacy, who did an emergency prescription, and told me that Town Medical Centre advised them that my mum had moved to Ashford. They checked her NHS records for me, and it transpires that she's now registered to a surgery in Charing. For the avoidance of doubt, she hasn't moved, she isn't moving, she's never been to Charing and neither have I.4 -
Don't mention anything train related to him FFS, NHS & South Eastern on the same day will be bad, plus I just read he has shoe laces so these need to be taken off him along with his belt.Stig said:

you need to mirror the way you tie up your left shoe not tie them the sameMrLargo said:Back to generally annoying things:
1. People that say " yeah no yeah", when what they actually mean is "yeah".
2. I tie my shoelaces identically. Why does my right shoe lace always come undone?!

I was dogged with shoe laces coming undone until I tucked the 2nd loop under one more time. It has changed my life.MrLargo said:Back to generally annoying things:

The box room in my house being about 2cm too small for a single bed along the one side. Would making it that tiny bit bigger and the bit the other side of the wall that tiny bit smaller not make more sense?
Wanted a cabin bed for storage as it's the smallest room. Unfortunately, we've got my youngest in that room, she's autistic and so has a long list of requests about how the ladder should be (not flat against it, flat not round steps/rungs), how many draws it should have etc, and having to get a shorty not a single brings the options down so much.
From about £200 for a single to about £900 for the only one we can find so far.
I know it's first world problems etc, but it seems to be caused by that 2cm and a lack of common sense (and I'm tired, hot and bothered!).

Already thought of that, sadly the 2cm too small is taking that into account.Fumbluff said:

If the bed 🛏 is a wooden one, why not take the 2cm out of it?Fumbluff said:

Can you take the headboard/tailboard off and bracket the wall somehow? ... Feel your frustration.guinnessaddick said:

It's 2cm too small for a single mattress, realistically it's 5-10cm for most of the beds we're looking at.
Still think would have made sense to make the room that 10cm bigger, but to make it so close to being able to fit even a divan etc (even before little un's requirements to make it right!) but a tiny bit short is just daft.

Probably mentioned before, but public radio 'phone ins'. I'm all in favour of free speech, but they should be preceded with a health warning for those suffering from high blood pressure.
Listening to hosts baiting callers to argue with each other is entertainment in the same way as poking a lion with a stick used to be when making it angry to see how it reacts.
I think they're a sad reflection of where we are now as a society when the divisions that they amplify outweigh any good they do.
After far too many occasions in the past when they've enraged me, I'm doing what's best for me and I've stopped listening to them, although I do appreciate that others enjoy and value them.4 -
I had a colleague who wore these ridiculous running shoes with individual toes when out jogging.AndyG said:
Especially socks that have individual toe slots ffs 😂ross1 said:Who wears socks with sandals, honestly?
After a while he started developing serious health problems, including heart problems. The shoes were pressing on certain nerve endings that were causing problems in other parts of the body. He went back to normal running shoes and the problems went away.

Parents who stand in queues with their young kids in buggies, leaving them to cry... basically ignoring them.
Yes I'm sure you have to put up with it at home, but doesnt mean to say the rest of us have to bloody experience it.
Happens EVERY DAY whilst waiting in the queue, whilst waiting to pick my Son up from Nursery3 -
They do not have time to check on the crying kids, they are too busy updating their Insta or chatting to mates on Facebook. When I take my 4 year old grandson to the swing park on most occasions I am the only adult engaging with a kid. All the other adults have their noses pressed in a phone.ForeverAddickted said:Parents who stand in queues with their young kids in buggies, leaving them to cry... basically ignoring them.

When you are at a supermarket and there are 10 card only self-checkouts, 2 card or cash self-checkouts and someone is buying their weekly shopping at a card or cash checkout and then paying with a card (or even worse, their effing phone - which always takes about three goes to work).1
