Well, the management answer would be lack of clinicians and drivers, which is true to a point, and there are reasons. But realistically they spunked a big chunk of our yearly budget on agency staff to look after sun burnt entitled Holibobs, so cut cars to save money over the quieter months. The truth is somewhere in the middle I suspect. The result is the same end of life patients waiting in distress plus many others often in pain not getting the care they need in a timely manner. I won’t go on because I could fill pages. Thank goodness I have choir and a bit of fun tonight so I can forget about it until next Friday. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boboneleg Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Got out this morning on Miss USA , I was looking forward to see how she would run after deleting the side stand switch. I rode up the A46 towards Stroud and gave it soome beans when it was clear, smooth acceleration all the way up to 80mph so all good there. Later I took it down the rough Fosseway section with the whoops and again it was fine, no coughing, bamging or cutting out. On reflection I think that switch had been going bad for over a year but I was mis-diagnosing it as a carb problem, anyway all good now My destination at Stroud was Capels Mill, a fascinating place and well worth a visit. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saul Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Went out to wash my car today, the Mrs walks past and said you can do mine as well. Ok I say then she proceeds to get in my van and go to work with all my car cleaning kit in it, never mind I can do a morning on the puter as my punishment 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
