Yes, in the practice I use in Scotland, you are more likely to be seen by an ANPA or a trainee GP than a fully qualified doctor, which is all good until you have a complaint that needs more investigation.

Lucky to see a fully trained GP. In the 15 months of being my current practice, I have seen a practice partner once! once! There are 6 full-time doctors, apparently. I have seen 3 senior nurses who are similar to nurse practitioners and 3 trainee GPs. In the meantime,my health has deteriorated.

Yet another company that will not be British! Are there any British companies left? Comcast is not a good company.

So the government has no idea who lives in this country if they can't track exits and returns via plane, boat, coach, or bus. No wonder we have issues with illegal immigration if they can't tell if ordinary UK nationals are just on holiday or haven't gone at all.

It is time for papers like the Guardian wrote an indepth article on how much it actually costs to enter this country.With the income requirements,£28,500 pa plus the NHS surchage, a good number of British citizens cannot bring their spouses to this county anymore.Work visas are even harder to get.

Plenty of plus-size clothes are available online, but only for giants. For some reason, designers don't think women under 5ft 2 should be plus-size. I suspect clothes for shorter men are even more challenging to find.

Why doesn’t the UK have longer fixed-term mortgages like the US. When we lived there, we were able to get a fixed rate for 15 yrs. If we had wanted to, we could have fixed it for 30 yrs.

Totally agreed, instead of the relentless dishing of Labour, do a deep dive on all the leading characters of Reform, especially Farage. I am not a fan of Starmer,but this endless sniping of Labour is pushing the reform agenda!

The issue with this approach is that now he has an even bigger audience than he got on Twitter. There are plenty nutcases on that platform, but arresting them just gives them a bigger voice. I had no idea he had posted this until today, and suddenly, he is all over the headlines!

A lot of them are exploiting their kids, as there is no quicker way of getting followers, than posting cute videos of them.

The Coop is a membership run company. Ask the customers. Personally, I hate having to walk around a store to find a cashier who is also the shelf stacker and stock person. I just walk out without purchasing. Shops need more people, not less!

The daily mail comments are usually worse than anything you see on Tattle. having looked at a few threads,it seems most of the information they 'tattle on is supplied by the so-called victims themselves via their social media content and the Daily Mail!

Why aren't there more efforts to regenerate the inner cities that are filled with old derelict flats over businesses. I see it every day in our local town and there becoming an eyesore in what used to be a lovely bustling town.
