I've recently been to a big city hospital for x rays & today a dermatology consultation, all appointments were quickly arranged, efficient, friendly staff & a very positive experience.
I asked reception staff to pass on thanks to the teams for great service, they were delighted. 🙂

Guys, you need to understand something about Elon Musk and Twitter.
He didn't run it into the ground. He didn't trash its value. He paid $44b not to *have* something but to *do* something: to weaponise people's stupidity and translate it into *personal political power*.
He succeeded.
And... (1/2)

I see a lot of people distancing themselves from friends / family. I understand. Your frustration is valid. If that's what you need, do it.

Basic everyday jumpers that used to be around £10-£15 are now £25+!!
They are all very dull and drab and baggy.😕
