Good morning - Damp and dismal here today. I just got back from a ride to the chemist (dropped a prescription off). A ride to see my brother this afternoon if the rain holds off.

Morning all. It seems to have flown by this week, feels like I've missed a couple of days 🤔 but thanks for reminding me it's Fish Friday, Waitrose here I come!
We've had a similar problem. What our case was that the delivery person wasn't actually a Yodel employee, but a contractor that had picked up the delivery. Then because they were running late, marked it as delivered and moved on. Took a few days of phone calls to get the Parcel delivered.I hate Yodelstayed in all day yesterday waiting for them only to get this - Sorry we missed you. We've left you a calling card NO you bloody didn't, so now I don't know if they will delivery it today or not as there is no update
and I'm going away tomorrow so said parcel will stay on door step until I get home

You’re lucky. Our surgery is under the control of the local health board and only have GPS attending on Monday, Tuesday and Friday if you’re in luck.Touch wood I am in good health as our Dr's surgery is worse than useless. For the first time in 5 years i had to go for a routine check up. Appointment was booked a month before, got there and low and behold there is no record of it. Receptionist said I could see the nurse in half an hour. 1 1/2 hours later I am still waiting. Went to reception only to be told that once again there was no record of the receptionist requesting the nurse see me. How could that happen when I am bloody well sitting there. Finally go to see the nurse after a mammoth 2 hours of waiting.
I will probably never have to go to the Dr's ever again thank God. They are all useless.
I tried to make an appointment to see a GP for my terminally infected, extremely painful sinusitis only to be told there were no doctors in the surgery that day.
My contact with a GP for a diagnosis was through a telephone consultation with a doctor 200 miles away in Cardiff!

Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
Crikey. Our local surgery was closed down due to the incompetency of the Dr's running it and everyone was transferred to Mach where there is even more incompetency as some of the same Dr's have also moved to the Mach surgery. I fear before long Mach Dr's will close as well. So many people have complained that there are notices in the surgery saying that anyone who complains will be struck off the register. How nice is that. Free speech is well and truly dead in Mach NHS.
WoW. Batten down the hatches. Nothing like that showing up on my area BBC forcast.

The doctors weren’t incompetent.
Two GPs left, two retired and replacements cannot be found.
Laters..........off to the Chippy in a mo.
I will pass on that one thank you.
A recent local case.
A woman complained about her surgery so they struck her off. She got it printed in the local Guardian. There was outrage. The surgery was forced to issue a letter of apology and reinstate her. PEOPLE POWER
