You mean, people coming here from all over the Globe?

It certainly is putting great pressure on our NHS.

My nephew recently qualified as a doctor, he can't get the two years mandatory work in NHS hospitals because there's a long waiting list.
His friend in Belgium who qualified the same time as him, is already practicing in his own country.
Something is crazy wrong here?

The effects of 14 years of the Tories running down NHS funding, cannot be corrected in 1 year.

The NHS did better under the coalition (2010-2015) that under any of the parties. Unfortunately, we can't vote for a coalition! So much for democracy!!!

I don't know about anyone else's GP's surgery but since COVID there is only on GP on duty at any time at mine, the rest work from home. Excuse me a GP working from home what do they do. Once upon a time they did home visits.

Yes, like is doctors most likely

My nephew recently qualified as a doctor (a year ago!), he's still unable to do his two years mandatory work in NHS hospitals because there's a long waiting list.

Without the necessary work experience, the NHS won't grant him his practitioners licence. I suspect there are many young doctors like my nephew waiting in the queue.

I don't care much for any political party in UK. They're two sides of the same coin.

Home visits are only after you die!😅

I totally sympathise.
I no longer call my GP for an appointment, the system is broken.

When 111 finally called back Mrs GSV was out, so I couldn't get to the phone - message (which was a complete lie) said they'd tried several times and were therefore closing the case. *****.

No more politics please peeps. I have enough pain as it is! 😱 🙂

What are your pet hates? It could be anything from a taste, smell, lane hoggers on motorways... anything that really gets your back up.

I hate with a passion is text speak. When you have a face-to-face conversation with someone. For example:

You say to someone I lost a winning lottery ticket, and instead of them responding "oh my God, that's awful", they go OMG. This really turns a mild mannered individual like me into a raging bull.

One of Mrs. Ps,hate is the word "flavoursome" when referring to food or drink.

The word 'Haitch' - especially when used by BBC presenters who should know better.
People who cross the road while talking on their mobile phone.
'Awesome!'
I'll stop now, I could be here all day....

Yes my bad, I started it.
Get well soon!!!!!

Ask your missus to get you diclofenac diethylammonium from the chemist, I've been using this for my sprained knee, it should help ease the pain. Ibubenfen gel also good. 🙂

Unforgivable for them.
Unbelievable that it's such a common affliction in general.
No grey areas, it's just wrong.

Your opinion of BBC presenters is way too high!

I'm on Tramadol, which doesn't seem to be touching it - I'm on a Mickey Mouse dose of 50mg 2x daily - you can go up to 4x higher so I'm doubling what I've been prescribed. Still having to pee in a bucket!

Hey - just about managing to walk now!

'Celebrity' culture.

Wouldn't have watched it but....

I've just seen the full lineup of celebrities taking part in the forthcoming Strictly Come Dancing.

If I was to pass any one of them in the street, I'd have no more chance of knowing who they were, than they would of knowing who I was.

The Simpsons predicted new species of humans called celebrities.

You bothered to look? I've completely ignored it.

I saw the headline, naming the last addition to the list of celebs - hadn't heard of him, so looked to see if I'd heard of any.
I HAVE actually heard of one of them 😯

It's the most expensive BBC production - and probably one of the reasons many have stopped paying the licence.

If that's the best the BBC can provide I am not surprised.....

Whatever you two, or I think of Strictly, it is hugely popular.

It never ceases to amaze me, what crap is very popular, like Mrs Brown’s Boys and, shudder, Micheal McIntyre’s bilge.
