It’s hot

When were you on Bullseye?
Used to love it when the curtain was pulled back to reveal a speedboat and two blokes from some dodgy council estate would look at each other as if to say the nearest I've ever been to any water was a day's fishing on the local canal.
 


I'm as prepped as I can be. Bought extra 2 fans, 8 cases of bottle water, a generator incase there are powercuts, black curtains for the sunny side of the house and a bucket to melt in to.
 
I see the NHS have plenty of time to text everybody with helpful advice like “don’t sit in the sun” and “drink plenty of water” but they haven’t got time to see anybody.

Absolutely useless.

Wish these useless cunts in marketing would come and do a session at my GPs surgery to help with waiting times.

To be fair, and that’s life goal, I can see you nodding. The doctors are seeing more patients than ever. The issue isn’t marketing pricks and phone messages. It’s we don’t have enough Doctors. The Tories promised 50,000 more trained. They delivered fuck all. We lost doctors due to Brexit, we aren’t training enough to meet the demand. That’s a Government issue. The Tories have been in power for years, this is their fuck up. Nobody else’s. People working in surgeries are getting abuse for something they didn’t create.,let’s be fucking raging, but let’s focus that hate filled, indignant rage where it belongs. At the foot of Tory fucking selfish scum who can go private. That’s where our hate, and I mean hate, should be directed. I know you weren’t having a go at the people or docs but the situation, but I felt compelled to put why this situation is with us.

You missed off that GP’s also have to be building managers, accountants, HR, salespeople and oh… GP’s.
They also have to tender iirc for budgets.

The noughties and the next decade saw massive natural wastage in the total number of GP’s … aging numbers, many of various ages taking early retirement as they looked at what they now had to do, in addition to looking after their patients, reducing numbers of people wanting to become GP’s, and finally the last decade has brought us brexit (with the removal of so many NHS related staff - from the cleaner to the consultant), and then the stress and strain of dealing with a pandemic and an inept govt (still hellbent on privatising the ‘profitable’ parts of the NHS).
 
1976? Swimming in the cut next to Marlborough Mill. Diving off the locks and avoiding old cars, mattresses and bags of dead cats.
Must have been bloody hot.
We were down at our local mill, it was nice to swim under the gates at the other end and be behind the waterfall
