The court case win is pretty old news, so I'm wondering what ulterior motive the Telegraph has for publishing this now, particularly after weeks of telling us benefit cuts are coming.

Hmmmm. Mostly true, but I would be able to afford hydrotherapy, massage therapy and things like that.

Heck, I'd get my own hydrotherapy pool and open it for free to other disabled people when I'm not using it.
Oooh! With a cafe! For free!

Oh well. Back to reality.

otoh, what is anyone going to do if they catch me in a bike lane? Take away my licence? :P

In the UK power chairs are currently allowed to use cycle paths but it is illegal for us to use bike lanes.

I get shouted at a lot for saying this, but it is true. Anyone can check.
But because no one knows about this silly legislation, no one is trying to change it.

Google Street View is a big help to plan journeys because of the following issues with Google maps:

Google maps doesn't show steps on pedestrian routes.
Pedestrian route designated as "mostly level" can include steps.
No option to show paths/routes which include drop kerbs.

This has to be a wind up.
If it isn't, go away and read about screen readers and how they use alt text.

I would categorise this issue as the same one that has affected mobility scooters and outdoor electric wheelchair users for years/decades.
Secure parking for cars is provided, but very rarely for mobility scooters or powerchairs.

Oh no!
Sometimes you don't want to be proved "right" and this is definitely one of them.
I'd have been delighted for you to keep telling me all your NHS experiences were absolutely fantastic forever.
Hope you get lots of rest and feel better soon.

You're secretly a satire account, right? Right?

Part of the problem is that social care is on its knees.
People can't be safely discharged, so there are is a bottleneck.
There are other reasons for lack of beds but this remains a large one.
But no one in government, this or last one is willing to even begin to address the issue.

National target from 2000 is 95% of people seen and treated/admitted within 4 hours.
That target used to be met but now only 73% in all A&E and 58% in hospital A&E.
Since the pandemic 12 hour waits have rocketed. 1 in 10 last winter, large variations locally. Eg:

I saw marshmallows at the supermarket the other day proudly advertised as "100% fat free".
Yep. Practically a health food!

Like vegan leather, it's not false advertising as such, but certainly misleading.

This is not the usual experience for an NHS patient.
I will only go if unconscious, seriously injured, or severe pain not explained by my normal symptoms.

This is why it took 5 days to go with a blocked kidney stone. Similar pain to usual back pain, so eventually called GP, who sent me to A&E (ER).

I do similar.
I use a combination of a huge U shaped maternity pillow, a V shaped pillow and an ordinary pillow.
Took a while to discover this combination, but I sleep ok now. I usually sleep on my side, but can support my legs up at will and also prop myself up when on my back.

There are definitely some games which I think are "far more fun than they have any right to be"!

Generally they are the ones with a vast array of interesting and diverse loot.
Borderlands plays on this to a point but has other fun features. Some games don't.

I restarted a Cyberpunk mission because I accidentally ran over some civilians.
Had much better luck with the motorbikes and stuck to them after a while!
