    I think hoover the floor is an excellent example of successful advertising.

    Sorry Phillipa you cannot.  You get married in a "Register Office", where you have the Registrar of Births,Deaths,marriages. Registry Office, is completely different, registers land,title dees.  Yes, accuse me of being picky, I also cannot stand it when people say, they hoover the floor, instead of vacuuming!!
    I’m sorry @Nanny Beach but you are mistaken ... as I said earlier, a Register Office and a Registry Office are the same thing nd perform the same function. 
    It is down to the choice of the local authority which term is used. They are the same thing.

    My local health board is using some of the money from the Captain Tom donations they had, to expand staff support services for staff. This is mostly by offering well being appointments from a team of psychologists. That may help some, but with our usual mechanisms for re-setting, escapism and comforts having been taken away - this challenging time has exposed how we can’t all bounce back from stress so easily. Everyone needs breaks from the stresses of life, but particularly NHS front line staff need a break from dealing with the pinnacle of the pandemic challenges. I can’t believe some staff haven’t had any leave at all - that’s inhumane. Devotion to duty has limits.

    I know the Land Registry is completely  different,Dove, as you say must depend where you live,I got married in Surrey,and as steephill says, it is different.I was badly bullied on my last ward, so much so, it made me ill, there was no help then.  Some years later, we used to get these massive surveys to fill in about bullying far too late for me.

    Dove, going back to Weddings, where  live now in Sussex, the venues are also called Register Offices, so I will conceed we are both correct.I have only ever heard this not Registry, in regards to Weddings, in my neck of the woods.

    The vaccination centre near me are trialling walk-ins for people who qualify.
    Just for 7 days between 12.30 and 3.30.
    So I trotted off there today,40 mins in the queue and about 1 second for the jab itself!
    Very efficient and staff wonderful.
    Have to now make an appointment for the second jab in about May.
    I shall report back if I have any sort of reaction!(AstraZeneca)

    I got booked in for tomorrow at Derby Arena after a letter this morning. They seem to have a lot of space next week. I am 64 group 7.  Hubby had pfizer at local surgery yesterday. Bit achy but OK.
