Immigrants HIV and the cost to the NHS

Sue Reid is right, health tourism, we are a soft option.

What riles me is that she says, 

The process is simple: Foreigners can get a unique and permanent NHS number, which they are then usually able to use to get free hospital care. They can also book an appointment online or just walk in without a doctor’s referral.

this makes my blood boil, how dare they, if only WE had a service as good as THAT, here in Lincolnshire.

Here we can't do any of that. Ring up, if you're lucky you could be one of the first 20 or so to get an appointment TODAY - (fair enough) but that's it, wait till tomorrow and try again. No walking in, no prebooking.

I've lived here 58 years and paid my NI TAX etc. why are WE the 2nd class citizens to Immigrants?

Where is Jeremy Clarkson?

Where is JC when you want him?

Now I've not much time for JC - he enjoys upsetting people too much and being a Yorkshire man (like me) he gives us a poor reputation. WE aren't all loud mouthed bigots - any way to the point.

Today I am ANGRY - why you ask?

Surface Dressing! It is the season of chipped paint and cracked windscreens.

What annoys me is the stupid other drivers with no brains. The signs say 20 mph!! Why do you think ? because the loose chippings fly everywhere and crack windscreens and chip paint. So the numpties ignore them and because you are good and go slow they fly by spraying you in stones.

So, no explanation except they are brainless and/or driving a company car and don't care.

They should be (to quote Jeremy) SHOT!

Some blame lies on the Highways - we all hate pot holes and they are trying - since the Surface Dressing does help to maintain roads, but they should not do it on "A" roads. They don't do it on Motorways do they and I've seen some horrendous potholes on Motorways.

Also they don't take the signs away weeks after its done, so the can't blame the dim-wits for speeding. If the blatantly it was done weeks ago what's the point. Anyway where are the police to catch these anti-social careless drivers. I don't think we have Highway Patrols any more anyway.

Rant over - now I feel better.

BBQ blues!

At last the BBQ summer is here.


Now I have one plea. You may say I'm OCD but this bugs me and I like things to be simple if I can see a simple way of doing something , if i can't do it it really infuriates me.


So you know those bags of charcoal, they are nicely eco friendly in paper bags done up with a nice "stitched" string across the top,


Now I know if you are lucky and get the right string to pull it just comes away like a dream. Get the wrong one and no chance you can pick and pull and snip away but it will never come off you have to RIP the damn bag and that makes me ANGRY, (and dirty).


Solution - there are three strings stitched together - why don't they make the right one to pull RED as opposed to the other two white. Then you know straight away which one to pull.


Please - BBQ charcoal bag makers can you do it for me. No more fighting and ripping bags getting dirty charcoal dust all over me and every where.


Thank you.
