I can see that some of the more mature members would be popping in for weekly booster jabs. This might prove too much for some!

Do you get coffee and a biscuit as well otherwise I'm wondering what to do for the other 29 minutes.

Apparently certain actors are known to visit those establishments and can be heard rehearsing the words of the immortal W. Shakespeare "If you xxxx us, do we not bleed?"

I suspect full instruction would be provided.

Hope they don't check your temperature first.

I am a bit worried about the size of her thermometer..

I've been sort of watching the situation in Corfu and they seem to have a resistance to having the vaccine. Now that the tourists have gone home, it seems to be getting worse there. The opposite to what you would think! It seems that the "relaxation" now the tourists have gone has brought about a quicker spread. I watched a video of one of the autumn festivals and very little evidence of masks etc. Add to that the kids back in school and who knows what will happen next.

Watching BBC news now reporting on the NHS situation. Some bits of the NHS are apparently on the very edge with ambulances shown queuing to get patients into hospital. Sadly some patients are reportedly dying in queuing ambulances with some patients having fallen and lain on a floor for twenty hours for an ambulance to arrive for them. Staff are at their wits end and dreading the next few winter months.

Call me old fashioned, but I think I understand the pressing need for vaccination.

My Youngest Son and his Girlfriend are Paramedics, they were telling us at the weekend that part of the problem is as people cant get to see a Doctor they are dialling 999 and in a lot of cases it is for problems that a Doctor could sort out with a Face to Face consultation.

Only last week she arrived at the Emergency Department with a couple of Ambulances waiting to unload there patience with minor problems, her patient was more in need of help so she told the other two crews to put there patients in her Ambulance and they could get off. She looked after the 3 patients for a hour or so until the Department could take all 3.

First of all Doctors need to start seeing patients and patients who dial 999 for minor problems need to fined or penalised in some other way, my son only two weeks ago had a patient who was in '' severe pain'' with an ingrowing toe nail. He demanded to be taken to Hospital to be treated as he had been on the waiting list for over a year.
