In 'clapping for the NHS news', the missus has had 9 consultations booked in over the last few days, of which 3 have actually turned up. But the country really loves and respects the NHS or something

What's her take on this mate? A few of them maybe not wanting to be a burden or are they likely mostly just lazy cretins?

None actually notify her, they just don't turn up, don't answer phones etc.. The latest, despite agreeing to the consultation late last week, said today she doesn't have time.

They're trying to stop your benefits before you actually get them mate. lol

Joking aside mate I hope something comes along jobwise quickly.

Infuriating that, I mean I don't know what your missus specialises in but presumably those appointments could be valuable for others

3 for 3 today. She's a community nurse, so kids stuff mainly, but a lot of safeguarding type cases at the moment (domestic violence etc.). I'd be up for charging people if they don't cancel an appointment in a reasonable hour, as it all costs the NHS money.

Matt Hancock announces over 10 million antibody tests will be rolled out in a "phased way" from next week. lollollol

Could have sworn the police chief from Manchester was on Radio 4 this morning stating quite clearly that driving with impaired vision isn't something you should do.

He is quite right, and it’s good that it’s been re-brought to the attention of drivers by a caring government.....

I remember those good old days mate, looking around to make sure no one was watching and then jumping over our back fence to meet the lads in the van. The only problem for me when I would go and sign on was that I would always stink of bitumen.

I'd completely agree with you.
