Feel for you Bibs. My mum is about to have a hip replacement and her OT were no help at all. Luckily for her there is a good voluntary aid scheme in her village that can loan her everything she needs.

Fingers crossed for you buddy.

Bloody hell Darren, that's a bit sh1t3! What a wonderful system we have that allows this sort of thing to happen. Profit over people every time eh?

The signs and rumours have been there for a few weeks, but it's still not nice. Getting a bit sick of it happening tbh. I'm definitely in the wrong trade

I worked in the largest antibiotic plant in the world. I got a call at 17.50 one evening before night shift, from the plant manager that the plant was shutting. He said "gotta go and phone the rest of your shift before it's on the 6 o'clock news". I'm so glad I didn't have to tell them, my heart would have broke.
