Boris Johnson has stated London is to celebrate St Georges day in style with lots of free events for the people,let us all get together and celebrate in style. Remember the 23rd of April is also Shakespeare's birthday.

Clearly a typo - GPs are now expected to record when they treat White Otters. Vets are furious about the lost business..........

Don't forget the bell ringing at the town hall at noon and the service at St James' cemetery prior to that.

Well howard, I hoped you treated their request with the contempt it deserves. Too many organisations are requesting far too much intrusive information and for one reasons only, to provide statistics to demonstrate fulfilling some idiotic pc agenda.

Stats, damned stats!!!!!!

barry
i tore it up.
what benefit does it give to me or my gp?
she will give a diagnosis based on what she sees sitting in front of her.
the biggest laugh i had recently was seeing another form asking for ethnic origin.
one of them was for irish traveller!!
there are people making a good living dreaming up new ethnic origins, the more boxes to be ticked, the more paperwork has to be completed.
incidentally, every few months i get a note with my prescription asking me to update their records.
the questions
Height.
weight.
waist measurement.
smoker or non smoker.
how many people get taller or shorter after their teenage years?

by the time you posted this I was out making flagpoles! question was answered in post 2 Guzzler.
With help of Chris P and georgette R we put up ten flags and there are more yet needing some fixings. If anyone has a longer ladder we could use it would be nice - Two or three positions were too high to reach with mine.
The flower baskets are out growing and before easter I hope the flower bed will be pruned and tidied with maybe another half dozen flags up.
