    Builders next door are cutting concrete blocks today. Non-stop disc cutter noise right outside my window for hours. :s  They've covered everything in dust, cars, windows, basically any flat surface within 20 metres or more, 
    This is one of the HSE's top risks at the moment so if they are really getting on your wick you should dob them in

    If the dust on the car is anything to go by that poor labourer must have solid lungs by now :|

    No online appointment system?   Maybe pop in and show your face.  Can't hide behind technology, or lack of it, when you're standing in front of them.
    In theory there is an online appointment system.  When I checked it today there were no appointments avaiable on it.  I'm currently listening as a slowly move down the phone queue from number 7.  Holding for 15 minutes so far.  If you call at the surgery you can hardly get through the door because of the queue of people trying to make appointments.
    They have a dedicated appointments desk there but I have only ever seen it staffed once.  Even then I couldn't make the appointment as my wife needs to see a specific doctor and their diary wasn't available!

    My Landrover is in for welding today. Apparently they're struggling to find where the holes stop so they can start putting the metal back. :#

    I feel a bit guilty if I use them for rubbish so they pile up and then I chuck them in the recycling bin. Stupid I know!
    We get some from people who make out they're a charity. There's a bit of small print on them which says that they make a donation to charity. Amount or percentage isn't mentioned.
