“Close calls caught on camera” bbc1.

today at lunchtime was a traumatic tale of Julius and his dog who both fell halfway down a cliff and had to be rescued by a coastguard rope team.

.........but.....the reason he ended up there was that he let the dog off the lead, it ran off after some sheep, putting them, and itself over the edge, then he slid down after it and got stuck.

Seems a totally avoidable event, caused by ignorance and a lack of responsibility, that put others in danger and would’ve cost a pretty penny too, given they had a helicopter hovering just off the coast.

what a cock......

oh, what’s that? He was crying?

oh well I suppose that’s fine..🙄

Planning committees - spent the best part of 18 months putting together an application for a bailiff cottage and some holiday accommodation on a fishing enterprise, managed to satisfy the case officer but it's then called in to committee by local pressure and end up losing the vote 8 to 6.
You will get it on appeal though . Officer rec positive vote only lost narrowly .

So how did the sheep finish up, did the stroker and his dog kill them and if so
1 is he paying for them, these blasted programs are useless as they do not address the really important stuff.
2 I s he paying for the helicopter rescue

Son's work dried up with the first lock down so he signed on for Universal Credit. Job centre got in touch with him last week saying they would like to get him back into self employment-great!

Told him today they can't help him as they are not allowed to help someone back into doing what they have done before!

Offered him self employed taxi driving-he pointed out he only has a 2 seater van!

Today's update from the job centre (after sending them a CV including his Degree in Animal Behaviour & Welfare and experience in training companion animals for people with special needs )

Early shift at a slaughterhouse.

Tell us once comes from the Registry Office-very good

But I fail to see how an NHS Hospital can fail to notify the patient's NHS GP of their death. First thing every hospital patient is asked is "Who's your GP?"
some times the information crosses and then sometimes the receptionist fails to log it on the system the tell us once thing is great but sometimes the recipients don't register the information straight away also there are communication problems with the doctors sometimes
