My wife who is in the 50 to 65 group had a text about 6 weeks ago saying flu jabs were available. Phone to make an appointment and was told that the text was sent in error and they would update their website. A couple of days ago another text, but nothing new on the website. I called and was told jabs for her age group won't be starting until December but at least this time they gave her an appointment date and time.
Yes, allotmentboy, I am sure, our Deeds show, what we own, but not which fence is our responsibility, we were told by neighbours each side. I then rang Land Registry, who confirmed what they had said. I have a friend who was a gardener he told me, the fence was not ours although we had paid for it, I didn't think this could be true. Found online advice, which was from a solicitor in Bath. By this time neighbour has put all sorts on the fence, plus building right up against it. which is why I paid for an hour consullt with a solicitor. She said we had commited tresspass, must give him back the old fence, or we should put up a new one completely on our land leaving his in situ,told her that wasn't possible because of trees, buildings there was no room to do this. Plus the rotten posts/fence would have pushed our new fence down. We did ask in the beggining, is it OK if we replace this bit of fence,that was because we needed to do other stuff, and the fence needed replacing before this could be done .she said to make sure we kept pictures of the old fence, we have. You mean the pile of firewood inbetween us.She also said you cannot force someone to keep a structure in good condition.
My GPs surgery tries to get me to come in for diabetic blood tests every six months. I have lost count of the number of times I've told them I have bloods done at the hospital every three months and all of the results are sent to them by letter. Found out why last time, the nurse, who has to get these results for every diabetic patient, doesn't have clearance to even see if there are any letters about me on the system, she's certainly not allowed to read them.
So now, the consultant sends the results to my GP (like he's required to), the GP sends two paper copies to me, and I post one to the diabetes nurse. (The GPs office is next door but one to the nurse's room.)
This is the new 'joined-up' nhs computer system, an interlinked database that needs paper mail to transport information. I wonder how much that cost the taxpayer.
It probably depends on what ‘permissions’ your GP practice are giving their individual staff. Our practice’s IT system seems to cope with my regular blood and BP results  coming from a few different sources ... they seem to be regularly checked by the practice pharmacist who then alerts my GP if they’re out of their usual range.Â

The rat is still around. Trying to decide whether it's worth spending £15 on 5 sachets of Neosorexa or not. It doesn't seem to want to be guillotined in the special box I bought.
I’ve just had an email from a friend in the village asking if I could do a favour. Of course, what do you want? Niece’s birthday and I can’t get to the shops and I’m having problems with my Amazon online account. Could you buy her an Amazon gift card on my behalf? No problem, I’ll collect it this afternoon at the newsagents. What value? £100 ***Alarm bell*** and the birthday is today so could you send it electronically to ... ***warning Klaxon***
No niece, no birthday. Looking back, the friendly tone could not disguise the fact that there was no personal information such as the use of names to confirm this was genuine. But I was close to being duped.

There are plenty I wouldn't even allow near radio. Plus plenty of former politicians who I will not watch if they appear.
Of course, what do you want?
