The NHS wins again. Saw my GP at lunchtime after requesting the appointment online on Sunday night. By close of play I’d been contacted by hospital to go and get an x-ray. You can keep your American model. The NHS isn’t perfect but it’s amazing and ours.

Today is Equal Pay Day: the day women effectively stop earning compared to men.
We fight inequality wherever we find it.
That’s why GMB Union members have launched more than 25 equal pay claims at employers across the UK 👏

Why do ppl ask “Is this still available “ on selling sites. Is it scammy or something because you don’t hear from them again and it’s obvious that it’s still available because it’s still listed.

Any Catholics or historians able to help. My Irish relatives had their details entered in The Golden Book at Liverpool Cathedral. I’m not aware they had links with the Cathedral and we seem to be the only Irish immigrants not to end up in Liverpool! Why might they have done this?

In order to get a parking permit for my local area, I need a V5. What part of people moving house makes it likely anyone can lay hands on it. I have to apply digitally but they can’t use digital to communicate with DVLA.
