More dead cat distraction

[Ashtree]

Our roads are improving without the freeloading paddy trucker , and less artics full of dead Vietnamese

Looks to me like you have converted your roads into lorry parks. Keep calm and carry on.

We have lots of unskilled staff here, they just dont want to work, we can change that if we have the political will, takes years to train a doctor.
My surgeon is of Jordanian decent, his assistant also plus some from other non uk countries, plenty of british ones in the department I was in , all very highly skilled and dedicated, mine came back to see me on his day off after I developed sepsis to ensure the treatment was correct. A pretty high percentage of nurses were non uk again they wasnt any difference in their general abilities.

Why did you get Sepsis in the first place?

It wouldn't surprise me if he did, yet another backward step for a once great country.

They said I had a unusual bacteria in my abdominal cavity, apparently after the surgery I had its usual to put people on antibiotics which they did for me but they take swabs from various places and see what grows, the ones they put me on didnt work and it takes a while to discover that and by then it had got hold of me, I guess due to the scale of the operation the body struggles to fight bugs.
Could have been a bug I picked up from farming, they did say what it was but can't remember, he did say he had to look it up as he wasnt familiar with it, it must have been pretty aggressive as I lost 2 stone in about 10 days fighting it.
A lovely guy about 73 came in about three weeks after me with the cancer they thought I had, his was quite advanced so could only bypass the bile duct, he got sepsis too and passed away while I was in there on thursday having another ct scan.

Great to know you are on the mend. And back in fighting form!! Nature is a fickle mistress.

I hanker for the Light Programme. But the Tories hate the BBC, so doubt that will return. Takes me back to my infancy when I can vaguely recall some music programme she would listen too in the background with Forces requests. The days of military posts around the world and I can recall my Great Aunt showing me where these places were on her Atlas.

Yes from being able to outwork guys 20 years younger to being in ICU in ten days is very sobering, no.one knows when their time is up, I was and am extremely lucky to be here

I just found it bemusing all the fuss about the small boats crossing the channel, yet nearly 1million folk entered the UK in year to March 2022. S'pose keeps Farage in sm kind of employment.

They wonder why house prices & rents are so high in the UK, where an earth do they think these people will live, I’m afraid we older people have seen the best of this country & you have to feel sorry for our youngsters as it can only continue to get worse with the politicians we have, these days house building keeps the country afloat.

If you look very closely at what house building & moving houses supports it's a giant industry bigger than any other in the UK & no government can now afford to stop that juggernaught without collapsing the UK economy, it's a sad situation that successive governments starting with Blair & Brown have brought us to!

High house prices and rents are not unique to the UK.
