can anyone recommend a GP in the area. I signed up with the Park Practise in Anerley but they're clearly incompetant and have left me without meds so I am not happy with them.

Depends exactly where you are.
My GP practice is in South Norwood, so probably no good to you, as I believe you have to live within the catchment area (or whatever it is called).

I think Upper Norwood Group Practice is ok but it's not that near you. I don't think you'd qualify for mine.

you do need to be in the catchment area, but i'm always happy to hear about GPs i can't join

Paxton Green is good.

Well in that case I too am with Paxton, but I'd be willing to bet it's in entirely the wrong administrative area for you.

Heh - just came here to post that Kristin Hersh, formerly of 90s darlings Throwing Muses, is playing and reading from her book there tonight. Might pop in myself.

might do myself as well.

No.
Am on a mission to find the great North wood but keep finding that the older oaks have been cut down - some even fairly recently. The tree in this picture went last year.
Here's some more info:

There was also an old oak on Hermitage Road - it went in 2007. Makes me quite miserable.

that is petty sad
I went to Fox Hill to see what it looked like after seeing the Pissarro in the National - still recognisable. (I like tracking down the locations in old paintings - I trekked out to Asnières sur Seine to see where Seurat painted his bathers. It's not even in Asnières, it's in Courbevoie!).
It is a shame about the oaks, but don't forget trees have a finite life and they don't last forever. Hopefully any lost should be replanted (and that should be the case where there's a TPO) but if this doesn't happen until the mature one is felled, it takes a while to fill the gap.
edit: I like that Norwood Society website, lots of interesting articles! boohoo Do you go to their meetings?

Anybody know the route the 75 bus takes and where it is going now at the weekends , due to the goat bridge diversion? Had a complete nightmare last Saturday morning...taking daughter to Northcote Rd, but half away along the bus diverted and turned off the route , we dont know the area so didnt know where it would end up, we got off somewhere near the clocktower ( norwood??) and walked....if we had stayed on it where would it have gone, basically how near to northcote rd, the driver only knew the final destination and not sure the roads he would be going down and even if he had, it wouldn't have helped as we wouldn't have recognised the roads ....
she needs to do the journey next saturday alone, so trying to work out alternatives at the moment.

I got an email from TfL about that. Just had a look to see if I could help, but all it says is 'buses will be on diversion'. Not a lot of help is it?
There's a big project in the offing to replace Tenison Road bridge too - shouldn't affect buses s the 410 has been diverted for a while away from there because of the state of the bridge.

thanks - pain in the neck, just want to know the route the diversion takes , but proving difficult!
Also someone told me i can get a 157 from crystal palace parade to beaconsfield rd ( croydon)...that route would be ok for her to do, but using TFL journey planner it refuses to show that as an option?? If i put in from crystal palace parade to beaconsfield rd , it tells me to get a 450 to hogarth roundabout and then a 157 to beaconsfield rd....but why? if i can go direct to beaconsfield rd on the 157...am beginning to doubt if it's do-able, so loathe to send dtr that way next week...have tried changing the edit preferences on tfl to 'fastest and least changes etc' but still doesnt show 157 as an option....does anyone know if it does actually go from crystal palace parade tp beaconsfield rd please?
apparently the goat bridge closure is for the next two weekends and also another three weekends in january

ahh thanks - couldnt find a map like that, whereabouts on that map is the goat bridge? would its closure affect the 157....i wonder why tfl doesnt give that as a route from CP to beaconsfield rd...the 450 goes all around the houses?
It's top right of the shady bit - Penge Road/Sunny Bank. So yes the 157 would be diverted which may be why the TfL planner is playing silly buggers and suggesting the 450. Mind you it's probably walkable from the 450 stop to Beaconsfield Road.

yes possibly...any idea how long it would take her to do that walk?
It'd be like walking from stop U to stop K on that bus map I think. 5 minutes?

yes had a look at the map - she could get off at windmill rd stop and walk straight on...perfect, thanks so much ph.
You're welcome
What's the Havana Club? Sounds Cuban. Do they do mojitos?

Yeah, Cuban. Apparently they do mojitos for 3.50 as an opening offer.
Sorry, got the name wrong - it's Havana House, not Havana Club. http://thehavanahouse.co.uk/
