I moved from Twickenham to the north east.
I used to be abke to call any time and get an appointment when convenient.
Now I have to join the 8am lottery and anything can happen. Often get "sorry we're full, try tomorrow".

You don't understand that there are plenty of people who will carry on trying to earn more no matter what their wages are.
