So we pay national insurance AND you think a thirty quid charge on top is ok?

You'd soon get used to it. Lets be honest we all now accept prescription charges don't we?

Not only that but the more like me who are willing to pay what is effectively a surcharge on our Nat Ins and go to a private GP in order to get prompt treatment at a time that suits would surely free up the NHS queues and shorten waiting lists? How can you possibly object to that?
It's like all folk who pay for private health insurance and private education for their kids, they tend to be reviled as rich snobs or privileged or whatever, but they are in effect voluntarily subsidising the rest of society who either can't or won't pay.

The problem with that is Drog, it is not putting money directly into the pockets of the great unwashed so they won't like it

 

[ABBEY]

gord its all good and well if you can afford the 30 quid emergency appointment but what if like my mrs has to book 3 or 4 a week at the moment . She'd be dead due to not being able to pay 500 a month.
that's more than going private its health for the snobs.

 

[Drog]

No it's not it's called freedom of choice PLUS most importantly for your better half and as I have already pointed out it'll free up the pressure on queues for the NHS GP Surgeries and subsequent waiting times. It'd be win win for your family.

Halloween. It's nothing special, it's for toddlers and it's an immediate neighbourhood thing..... in North America.
Not so in Australia. It's a time for the inbetweens and young teenagers to be loud and obnoxious. A cricket bat should, at times, be used for other purposes

 

[Drog]

I hate it for any number of reasons. 1. It's American nonsense and 2. It coincides closely with the worst day of the year imo.... the day that the clocks go back! Now we are activating Brexit that should be a major item on the agenda.

 

[Alan]

I've no problem with Halloween but the clocks going back is just wrong. I know it's BST but surely it's much better to have lighter evenings, in fact if it were up to me I would advance it an extra hour (make it BST+2) and leave it there permanently.

Serves you right for listening to him, him, Wright and that bent Canadian get turned off as soon as their programs start

It's bad enough Christmas getting earlier and earlier but wtf is with bending over backwards ...Tesco ad showing Muslims buying for Christmas. ... really?. ..
Imagine the outrage if they advertised Eid with a bikini clad babe eating a bacon sarny

 

[Drog]

I guess that they might be Sikhs cos the next clips is of a bloke in a sikh turban. Although it's of no significance Sikhs 'enjoy' christmas as opposed to muslims who enjoy nothing.

edit just noticed that it's causing quite a storm in the media!
I've said before there must be some sort of governmental dictat gone out to the advertising companies (and TV companies) owing the the large number of mixed race couples which appear in adverts these days. Nowt wrong with that of course as long as it's a. representative and b. not done as some sort of forced medicine. Much the same with homosexuals and cross dressers with cross dressing children being portrayed as if such perversions are the norm. They aren't and whilst we shouldn't vindicate them the truth is that they are in the minority.
No idea who dictates these liberal policies designed to subliminally brainwash society but they need weeding out and exposing.

Taking parcels in for neighbours. Sure, it's the neighbourly thing to do but after awhile it becomes a bit of a pisstake. Either make sure you're home or have it delivered to your workplace.

What if you drive all over like me not knowing where your going to be?

Tell me about it! Being the most accessible retired couple on a close we get it all the time but we don't mind as it gets you into conversation with your neighbours and you never know when you need a favour,

Agree 100% and if the advertisers see it as a growing market to take advantage of ,then nothing wrong there . However this year I think they've taken it too far . My wife , whose of West Indian origin , saw another two adverts featuring mixed race couples , after she saw the John Lewis one and said " this is ridiculous , it's seems like every other couple in TV adverts is mixed "

I think the liberal intelligentsia are peeing everyone off
