BBC rubbish

[Kidds]

Have you first hand experience of either?

Yes

 

[glasshouse]

German cars arent more reliable though

They were in 70,s and 80, 90s
Then electronics fudged them

 

[Swarfmonkey]

I’d take anything with Bosch on the side of it over anything that had Lucas on it.

 

[glasshouse]

We had bl cars till 1977 when princess potato bought us a new peugeot 504 7seater
Which actually took us to frannce a few times
I cant compare reliabilty, but you couldnt buy a seven seater uk made

 

[primmiemoo]

Yes

Worth keeping in the public eye, aren't they, then.

.....and now the media are kicking the government for their 120,000 tests figure because it includes 27,000 posted out tests that haven't actually been processed yet.

Who cares - in 2-3 days they will be.

The govt set a target of 100,000 tests a day - they've blown it out the water with 122,000 up from 80,000 yesterday and 50,000 or so the day before. That's incredible, yet all the media wish to focus on is whether they may or may not be the right side of an arbitrary line based on a target set 6-8 weeks ago when tests were in single figure thousands if that.

The media have run out of things to say so can only criticise, more and more people are seeing through them and have stopped listening

Not to the exclusion of so many other things. I don’t think they have the balance anywhere near right.
BBC home page is very near what you would expect from The Sun these days. Constantly searching to sensationalise rather than report. There is a big difference.

Ah, I see. Yes. I try to avoid BBC online as a magazine format because it's so annoying. If a particular story looks interesting on BBC Red Button, I look for the longer version online.

bbc .com is automatically changed to . co .uk now, so I wait to listen to World Service for world news. It's a different country there.

I think I heard on the radio it cost £385 million a day to run.
They have saved a little this week as one of my local trusts has made a friend redundant. Her and 6 others no longer needed to answer the phones and sort who goes to see which doctor/nusrse in a large town health centre They were rushed off their feet so no idea how its going to get done now.

Sadly typical NHS trust managers with no vision solution to things

Let’s get rid of the cheapest wages in the system to save some money. End result the much higher paid doctors and nurses then have their time taken up organising this instead of seeing patients and getting through the waiting list.

Unsurprisingly these turkeys never look to the layer upon layer of their management colleagues for a wage cost saving.

our local G Ps surgery manager was creating in out patients one day because he had been waiting twenty minutes , he had been involved in a car crash , with no visible injuries, i also was waiting patiently i called him over and asked if he thought his behaviour was appropriate, as when i phoned his practice i had to wait on the phone for thirty minutes to be answered and then to be told i had to wait three weeks for an appointment , as i have said many times british management is crap , when the steel industry was rationalised it ended up at shelton iron works there were six office staff for every one in the foundry ,its the ones that push the paper that have the power

Who would want to be any kind of manager in the NHS? I'm sure all the new ones go in positive they are going to change things. By Tuesday night they realise everything's complicated and a dozen people have already pulled their ideas to bits (even if they were good ideas) By Thursday they realise they're banging their head against a brick wall. After a weekend of thinking about it they realise there's nothing they can do but its a job and they need the money.
Monday morning they go back in with a new plan, do what it takes to keep their job, blame everyone else and take the money.

Don't blame them one bit.

Anyone with the ability to actually fix something as large as the NHS (there's probably not 100 people on the planet could do it) can make billions more elsewhere.

It is a serious problem. PPE, like most safety equipment, is made to fit men. It may come as a surprise, but womens bodies are shaped differently. If your PPE does not do up because you have breasts, it puts the female at risk. Goggles are too big for the average female, as are masks. Women have narrower noses and chins so have to do the mask up tightly to make it fit, making them rub.
Stab vests are only made for men. They do not fit around breasts. So woman having to wear them are told to take the side panels out to make them fit, and therefore putting themselves at risk.
Crash dummies are all male. There is now a requirement for one of the tests to use a "female" dummy ( a scaled down male dummy), but only in the passenger seat.
Even CPR mannequins are all male. Ever seen one with breasts?
Mobile phones have got so large, they are now too big for most female hands to comfortably fit round them. Speech recognition software is designed to recognise male voices.
When you see a blood test range for anything, that has been gathered from testing men.
So yes, it is a real problem. And it puts female lives at risk.

I thought men and women were equall

Only when it suits the women !

It would make an interesting thread.

sometimes, it's difficult to decide which is which, the transgender brigade, complicate it further !

 

[Kidds]

Tin hat on but I don't think men and women are equal, never have been and doubt they ever will be.
There are certainly many women I will never be the equal of no matter how I tried.

I think somebody once quoted this type of position as "like working up to your waist in treacle"
