There’s big advantages in going self employed especially if you’ve got a pension rolling in because you’ll be able to pick and choose what you want to do. The downside is potentially being inundated with work especially if you’re part time and someone who cares and doesn’t like letting people...

The situation with the NHS wasn’t great in the 90s and public dissatisfaction with the state of affairs was one of the reasons Blair swept to power. The situation in the NHS improved during the 2000’s with the record levels of investment, but it went down hill again post 2010 and significant...

If you’re going on a shortish trip, have a think about Salou. We went there on a last minute cheapie holiday a few years ago and we were quite impressed to be honest. It doesn’t have the 5 star hotels and resorts (most are 3 or 4 star) but it did have a really decent beach, a great prom, good...

The point you make about money being wasted may well be valid, but there are quite a few countries who have agreements to send patients who need specialist care to other countries including Norway, England and Denmark for starters. We should always aim to provide the best possible care here, but...

Agreed. If the Americans and or Israelis end up putting boots on the ground it could get pretty ugly for them. Vietnam and Afghanistan didn’t go too well for the west. The IRGC are religious zealots, reasoning with people who are prepared to die for their cause is a tall order. Chuck in the...

I recently read that the 2021 census identified that between 20 and 21% of the population (636,000) of Wales was born in England. Around 905,000 people liv8ng in Wales were born outside of Wales. There wasn’t a great deal of context around the figures, but I’d have thought that kind of...

I really liked Seville, we went there a few years ago and had a great time. It’s one place I’d definitely return to. The airport is fairly large, but it’s not as busy as the airports on the Costas and you should be fine. Enjoy.

The hospitals you’ve highlighted above are in the main world class centres of excellence, replicating them anywhere would be difficult as there aren’t enough experts in the fields to have multiple sites. That’s why patients from all over England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland are referred...

Just done a bit of googling, I can see what you mean.

Not sure about the racist bit as I don’t follow him or know a great deal about his beliefs, but he’s defo the ex con who turned to god and became a minister/ pastor/priest.

Reform = Conservatives, and generally the more unhinged element. Farage is interlinked with Trump and Putin, I don’t trust politicians, but Farage is right up there with Johnson and I don’t trust either 1 iota. Starmer gets stick for u turns but Farage is almost as bad, As far as I am...

Mine had its first trim towards the end of February, but it was looking as rough as a badgers …… afterwards. It had a second cut last week and a shorter trim today and it’s looking a better. My Mrs doesn’t know much about gardening, so she’s happy it’s green and short - albeit it’s nearly all...

Come on spill the beans. Was he asking about Cheap Trick, is he a fan?

Grimes is a quality player, during his time down here he hasn’t always been fortunate enough to have the quality around him for us to see the best of him.

A mate of mine has a BMW EV as a company car, it’s a lovely looking machine and goes like ….. off a shovel. The car is 2 years old and the heating module (whatever that is broke) a few months ago, he had it repaired free of charge under warranty, had it been out of warranty it would have cost...

Back in the early 80’s when I was about 16, a bunch of us went to a school party down at the old Cinderellas night club. One of the pubs we called at on the way was the old Marine Hotel, which is where I met Peter Singh for the first timesitting at the bar enjoying a pint. I’d never met a Sikh...

Can’t say I go a bundle on jazz, but quality is quality whatever genre of music it is and this particular combo is right up there with the best.

Lisa has pretty much hit the nail on the head. Operating a “just in time” supply model leaves us open to the whims of the market, our European neighbours have much larger storage capacities and they tend to fill their “tanks” over the summer when supplies are cheaper to offset the price hikes...

That’s an interesting question and I suspect one many people are asking.

Happy birthday Mrs P. Hope they’ve all spoilt you.
