No. As you say the government were supposed to stop all this nonsense . This is the first one I have had in about 12 months or more
I get them regularly often before 8 o'clock in the morning. Had one this afternoon but as soon as the answering machine cuts in they disconnect immediately. Sometimes from mobile numbers to try to catch you out. If it was anybody genuine they would leave a message on the machine.

Dave that wheel chair, that model is not easy to push around, if it's one from the Red Cross ask to change it to a big wheel one much better for crossing the roads if there is a kerb and much more comfortable ride.

The wheel chair is ours, brought for us by my Brother In Law.

On the subject of gritting, does England name it’s gritters and can you track them like you can in Scotland ?

Nope..........most of the time we're just grateful to see any gritter without worrying about being on first name terms!!

Had my blood draw and 5 hours later it was posted to a medical website run by the hospital and their 3 smaller clinics. You can sign up for the Patient Portal and see your lab work and written reports of your Dr visits. If you understand the medical acronyms comparing results is easy and since medical providers are so overtaxed here, a phone call re the results may take a day or more. In my case, dietary austerity paid off and my numbers are better than before for cholesterol and A1C which measures blood sugar for the last 3 months.
Today it's the old dog's turn with the vet and a little more grocery shopping for which Mrs 12 will come with.
Been watching the first episodes of an Acorn mystery show called Death Still about a Victorian photographer in Ireland who specializes in staged pictures of the dead for their surviving families. It is definitely different.
Politics here still rife with outlandish buffoonery and I will be happy to hear no more about the current POTUS unless it's about his bankruptcy or jail time.
As far as bogus phone calls, my phone has a screen call option which I use for any call from an unfamiliar number. Not one has chosen to leave a message, odious buttholes that they are.
Rant over. Be happy and healthy and don't let the buggers see you sweat.
You take it in turns, with your dog, to do the shopping, and it's going to bring a Mrs 12 home with it!

That's one clever doggie.
Thought Gavroche's dog was clever going to the post office.
