What is hacking you off today?

[OldBlueLady]

Tried to call doctors today to get some advice on my leg as I've had nothing from the hospital - no advice on driving, no exercises, no physio arrangements. After waiting 23 minutes on hold and and 5th in the queue at the start, I was told I could have an appointment to see the doctor on 22nd June, or the nurse on 17th June, or I could phone in the morning at 8 am.

It's just plain ridiculous. I don't have time to spend an hour on hold at 8 am, and there's really no reason why I should have to wait nearly 4 weeks to see a doctor!

Why not pay to see a Physio privately and get them to advise on some exercises?

I know you shouldn't have to but you want to be on the mend ASAP.

Money, simply can't afford to. Ambulance work pays less than taxi work so money is very tight for us at the moment. I might ring around and see what sort of costs it'd be - but, as you say, I shouldn't have to.

Watching the Man City fans being interviewed. One lad, with his dad, had a Man City shirt on and on the back it said:

PORTO
21​

This huge wave of envy came over me and I thought Solihull Moors 21 just didn't have the same allure about it. Never mind we will have our day sooner or later.

The Welsley physio cost is initial £65 and £45 per session there after.

If not try Ben as he still has his practice running.

Electrics in the kitchen have gone again! And on a bank holiday weekend the usual electrician I used has given up the private work. And understandably no one else is answering.

Are you covered by your house insurance @Ricey? May be worth a quick look at the schedules.

Didn’t even think about that.

No expert but being in the kitchen will be a separate main!
How long has this been happening?
Do you have an appliance that's playing up?
Frustrating mate! I feel your pain

We had problems before when it kept tripping. The electrician split the breaker because there was too much power on one breaker. Now it’s split I’ve lost my oven, microwave (built in) and a few sockets. No appliances have been playing up and I’ve turned everything off and it’s still tripping the breaker.

If you isolate the oven and take that out do you have power to remaining (except microwave and sockets you said)?

Nope, I’ve switched everything off that runs off that breaker and it still trips.

Wish I could help mate but not a sparky!
Not that rich!?

Neither am I, I can normally fault find or change sockets and switches but anything else I leave to the professionals.

Also turns out no one seems to want my money. Happy to pay bank holiday prices, but no one is answering and one bloke said he was too busy.
