I've solved the problem by just not having a television!

Exactly that. The only things I watch are Gardeners World (!!), Doctor Who (when it's on) and recently, Chris and Meg's Wild Summer. I have a TV licence so I watch them on catch up, or sometimes live, on the computer.

I usually watch Moto GP muted, cannot stand the constant loud drivel. K & J in my opinion were just as bad but Whitham and Burnicle in a totally different class.
Same as the shouting on Eurosport cycle commentary - not a patch on ITV4s (Grumpy old man) |

Collectively my GOTD. Ned Boulting and Michael Laverty/Niall Mackenzie are superior at their respective roles as are the various guests of GCN+ Adam Blythe, Dani Rowe etc Last edited by Chris_SVS; 01-10-21 at 09:08 PM. |

As far as private goes, I was in a company private healthcare scheme once and when I needed to wait for an angiogram on NHS I contacted private company and they said that I should bear in mind if you want any follow up treatment on NHS they can be a bit 'sniffy' if you have had private treatment ! So I waited for NHS treatment. Last edited by svenrico; 02-10-21 at 10:15 PM. |

A sign of things to come? As I indicated in a dedicated thread until it meandered into a climate change hole, I'm with Bulb energy.
They only have one tariff and it's variable. I've been paying £54/mo for a while and I'm £94 in credit but they just informed me that I'm using more energy than I'm paying for (don't forget - I'm in credit), because of this they need to increase my monthly debit to £71 (a 31% increase). Some Bulb customers are facing an 80% rise: https://www.theguardian.com/money/20...es-of-up-to-80 just to recap - Bulb are losing money and may go under, they have 1.7 million customers. I hadn't realised but within your energy bill is a deduction to allow you to be transferred to another supplier if yours goes bust (but that fund is running out of money because of the increasing energy company bankruptcies). I'm not too concerned about the Bulb price rise because the old energy price cap has ended (Oct 1st) and Bulb did this once before only to reverse it when my credit soared (and I have the option of requesting a reduction, anyway). Finally, my new fridge/freezer arrived on Monday and I've noticed already that it's using less energy.

I think they should have a triage nurse to asses a patient before a Dr's appoint is made. They could quickly identify what's needed, and issue a remedy there/then, or approve an appointment. Whilst that may create a bottleneck it could solve small issues quicker, preventing a GP appointment being 'wasted' and ensuring those who require further investigation get the appointment needed. They should also address those who regularly miss appointments, by having them on a cancellation list, rather than having priority over those who turn up.

They already do. The reception staff are expected to do this job. My sister in law works reception and take a lot of abuse from people as part of that job that she's expected to do.
