I've never been offered an NHS health check up.

I bet you could get the local vet to give you a checkup........a quick thermometer up the erh, I mean down the erh.....wherever is best 😀

Mammogram, cervical smear, bowel cancer etc?

Just checked my diary, face to face health check at the Surgery on the 20th of this month. Looking at my patient record on the NHS app I can see they have got me down for an over 75 check up next May.
It's interesting in that i can read a " blow by blow " account of what happened when I fell and broke my arm a few months ago, including the fact that " What Three Words " directed the Ambulance to the wrong location 😮

Mammogram, cervical smear, bowel cancer etc?

2 out of 3 but not a complete health check.

I don't think they do a 'complete' health check up but they do offer this:

There are also 11 NHS lifetime screening programs in England (is the rest of the UK the same?)

My car insurance is due next month and I have been researching on line for best quotes. They all promise you the best deal and how cheap they are: total rubbish I say. Once you have your details in, none of them come up to your expectations for price as they are all fairly expensive and some at least £100 a year more than others. I have come to the conclusion that competition is just a myth as they are all greedy b*****ds.

Normally they are very good.

You will be pushed to get much less than a 50% increase over last year quote due to labour and materials price inflation.

Is that new? Or an ancient rerun?

I remember having to sit through the dirge as a kid whilst my mum watched it.

How old is it? I can only just remember having to sit quietly while mum and dad watched it.
