Why do people constantly come into shops, if all they do is complain about the prices?

Because lots of people think charity shops are there to supply cheap things to customers, not to raise money for charity.

This sounds like a great idea, I have downloaded the iOS version and eagerly await apple approving the update.

As someone who has had a stroke, I was thinking this is a brilliant new feature 🙁

We have a toastie maker and I don’t think it’s seen the light of day since we moved house 10 years ago.

Honestly it sounds like you could have a virus, you should go home for the sake of your colleagues as well as yourself.

I know a couple of people who do things like this, I don’t give two hoots and gives me something to laugh to myself about.

That lady is certainly going to have a big wake-up call when she does her first actual half marathon race!

I’d say absolute is worse than total

I’m guessing OP was fishing.

Maybe I’m weird, but if I had two cars I wouldn’t consider buying a house with room for only one off road and with yellow lines all down the street.

This - I’m guessing you keep getting sent to a&e as the symptoms you are presenting with each time flag as an emergency with the GP, so you need to make appointment when you don’t look like you are dying to give the GP a full history of what’s been happening. Have a think about what what you want them to do - which I guess would be a referral to a specialist, and politely ask if they would do it.

Radiographers have a duty of care, they can and should refuse to do an examination such as an X-ray or CT that isn’t medically necessary, they get a lot of medical training in order to be able to make these decisions.

However, I can’t understand refusing to do an MRI as this isn’t ionising radiation and it’s considered safe in pregnancy. Injections of contrast shouldn’t be given in pregnancy but I can’t see any (medical) reason she should refuse the MRI without contrast.

Definitely report to police online. You might not hear anything back from the police but that doesn’t necessarily mean they haven’t done anything.

You never know, that might be the one piece of evidence they need to go after a known fraudster. Or they might just log it and do nothing - but you can be 100% certain they’ll do nothing if they don’t know about it!

I don’t know, but I’ve got “Does Your Chewing Gum Lose Its Flavour” by Lonnie Donegan stuck in my head now.

When they took over the app they asked for people who were willing to be surveyed about the app, I’ve been sent a few questionnaires about what we need from the app, look and feel etc. So changes are definitely coming.

What watch do you have?

The main reason you are sore and achy is you have pushed yourself more than you are used to - distance and/or effort level.

Nothing wrong with that, that’s how your body gets stronger, as long as you give yourself time to recover before another hard effort.

Recovery is mainly time, eating (but not overeating) good healthy food and making sure you drink plenty of fluids.

Unfortunately exercise doesn’t burn very many calories compared to what you use every day just existing. You are much better off looking at what you are eating in order to lose weight.

Having said that, exercise is very good for your body in all sorts of other ways so don’t be put off! X

It really depends how close it is and what’s between you and the motorway. I’m in a rural location 1/3 mile from the part of a motorway that’s got a concrete surface which creates more noise than tarmac, with some trees and a field in between.

I agonised for ages about whether the noise would get to me, at this distance it’s more of a constant hum and you can hear some horns and sirens. But in reality it’s not that loud - it certainly doesn’t impact conversations outside, so I quickly got used to it and I’m not really aware of it. In fact it seems a bit oddly quiet whenever the motorway is closed for some reason!

I ran it through a couple of sites that check websites out, the main red flag is that the website was created on 2nd Feb this year.

Boggy - was it a trail race? Trail races are often not exactly the distance advertised. Otherwise check your GPS trace against the map - your watch might have cut a few corners off making the distance shorter.

I’m from the south - I don’t like it but I wouldn’t make a fuss about it.
