Glad they (Baba) were on the ball. I've had so much trouble from that chemist (including a one off but very serious mistake) that I refuse to go there again. Agree with you about the nannyish attitude in Boots - I've had that in so many branches that I assume it's their training.

Anyone interested in continuing to ramp up the pressure on the government over the refugee crisis, there is a campaign to petition every council in Britain to commit to taking a number of refugee families. Request is 50 in Lambeth.
Front page of the petition(s) here: Refugees Welcome | Campaigns by You. Stick in your postcode and it'll take you to the Lambeth one. Ain't technology grand?
And there is a European day of action on 12th September if anyone feels like a day out
It said oops! Hang on let me fix it

My experience is rather dispensing prescriptions. I grant you they do have odd lunch breaks, but generally I have found prescription dispensing much better at Superdrug than at Boots (talking Brixton branches here - have no knowledge of other locations).Superdrug Brixton are dire- pharmacy desk is closed at random times, it's never open on my way back from work, and they seem to hold a very small stock- when you do find an actual pharmacist in there, they are out of some really common prescription drugs. They have some odd company rules about October stuff too- eg you can only buy 2 boxes of painkiller. So 3x packets of 12 is forbidden; but 2x packets of 36 is fine
I use baba opposite sainsbury's.
Fine.
And 50 is nothing is it? About 4 double decker bus loads?
Another illegal estate agent advert.
They're taking the fucking piss. Looks pretty dangerous too.
50 families or 50 people? Doesn't matter anyway. It's a vanishingly small amount of people to help either way.
Totes amazeballs! Cocktails everywhere!
We are asking for 50 families. If all the councils take a teeny number (most are being asked for less than 50 as they are small remote etc) we get to 10,000 people helped
Quite. And when you consider a country as poor as Lebanon has 1/3 of its population refugees....
Let's hope they're not relocating at Pop!
Yeah. It looks *really really* dangerous.

there are a number of different routes to investigate- funding, location, support services etc. I very strongly believe that regardless of where the funding comes from we can support refugees in Lambeth- they may be a short term drain on resources while they are settled but they will soon give back exponentially. And I think the level of need is off the chart, frankly. The idea is though that all the local authorities are pushed to investigate how they can do their bit, and when the government starts wringing its hands and saying 'but we can't!' There is a structure in place. That includes private accommodation, a network of people offering to be hosts, b&b, who knows..... But we need to get people to roll up their sleeves and look for solutions not spout the its too difficult/we're waiting for funding decisions/we're full up/our services are really stretched/any other daily mail editorial excuse
