What is hacking you off today?

4 way traffic lights literally everywhere at the moment.

Really bad chest infection, cough and sore throat.

Pretty certain that **** of an MP Mr Francois was in the papers lauding the completion of the roadworks

Just googled it. 8 weeks apparently. I just hope that's not Rons definition of weeks

Beware of DVLA scamming scum, got this email this morning - clearly not from DVLA…

I have had a chest infection for several days. I phoned the doctors this morning bang on 8am and was 7th in the queue. When the call was answered I was told there would be no appointments until Tuesday morning.

I booked an appointment at Cross Pharmacy who can prescribe certain medications. After an examination the pharmacist agreed I needed stronger antibiotics and some steroids but that the cost of the prescription would be £27 - presumably because they are a private prescription.

The pharmacist was excellent and I am lucky that I have no problem paying £27 to essentially beat the queue but there are many people who would not be able to do this.

NHS prescription is 9.35 per item. So not massively different.
But your point on getting Dr's appointment is very valid

Drove past this today, seems like deja vu though. All lane closures reinstated but not a single worker on site.

There's a surprise??.

Temp lights down Ashingdon Road put back a month to 11th Feb for umpteen weeks, another set scheduled for 2 weeks from 20th Feb further up the road and yet another set already in operation by Sainsburys opposite Rochford station. Utterly effin‘ ridiculous!

I feel your frustration. From 80-84 i lived opp Ashingdon Rec ( had a great view to Canewdon! ), & back then the daily queue to the Anne Bolyyn started before Rochford station!. Current road works in that area are causing complete gridlock, i've been told.

All the conspiracy theorists on social media thinking they are detectives with the miss NB case. Zzzzzzz

True but I very much doubt she fell into a river and got swept away in water that would have barely come up to her knees.

There's a reason he is also known as Mr Kodak and that's the nicest of his many nicknames.

I was due to go and see a gig in Brighton in April

Travelodge for one night = £228 - sod that. I'll sell the tickets and go elsewhere.

 

[Supershrimper]

Drivers + Fog.

Unless people have super human vision they should put their lights on, even side lights would be a help. The number of cars I saw (at the last minute) on the road today with not lights on beggars belief.

The majority of the cars where silver / white as well so even more reason to try and at least display some kind of light.

Depends how bad the fog is. The highway code guideline is to use fog lights only if visibility is less than 100m.

Probably book the same place for a night next week for £38?. Sad thing is, even at that extortionate price, people will still book it.

Was definitely less than 100m. I was driving home last night from getting the coach back from Maidenhead and could only see as far as the distance between lampposts on the A13.

The fog was the same this morning (perhaps a little lighter). I also wasn't referring specifically to fog lights not being on. Most had no lights on at all.

 

[C'mon you Shrimpers]

Just had my Dupuytren's contracture op. Still groggy from the general anaesthetic. First world problems.
