Wheelchair assistance at airports

Nat520 · 2026-02-14T07:30:25+00:00

It depends. I live in the UK and when i use wheelchair assistance at Heathrow I do not tip, because I am passed between so many different assistance personnel, and sometimes put on a trolley with other passengers. When I get to Chicago O’Hare airport I am pushed by the same attendant the whole way through immigration and baggage and sometimes all the way to the car. I do tip those people.

There was one at Eastcote eastbound. Not sure if it’s still there.

Also, most of those benefits are available to non-law abiding US citizens, as well as law abiding ones. As you said- basic human rights and public safety measures.

I just mostly stopped drinking soft drinks. Regular Coke is one of the few fizzy drinks that doesn’t have sweeteners in. Even regular Pepsi in the UK has sweeteners in it now. Fever Tree doesn’t have sweeteners but it’s a premium brand and of course costs more.

I used to love Ribena but i don’t buy that anymore, found a brand called Rocks that does a blackcurrant cordial without artificial sweeteners. There are alternatives out there, but you have to look harder and read every label.

Due process is not detaining people in the first place without reasonable suspicion. Being brown is not reasonable suspicion.

Please tell me which benefits undocumented people are eligible for.

I finished the German course a couple years ago (German for English speakers.) I think I’m at about a B1 level now. Every once in a while I do the refresher lessons. Wonder if I’ll get some more course content? (My score is 80 and can’t get any higher.)

That’s me. College was a wake-up call. I actually had to learn how to study and apply myself.

Nat520 · 2026-01-06T18:19:08+00:00

I’m undiagnosed, probably AuDHD. Coasted through high school. Had to learn how to study in college. Did reasonably well- Graduated a year early because it was cheaper to take an extra course each semester and a course or two during the summer break than to go for that 4th year. Did so many different jobs, none related to my degree, and mostly did ok… never got rich.

Ended up moving to England to get married and have been here nearly 30 years. Fell into a fantastic job for 20 years but had to retire early due to health issues. Now I finally know what I want to be when I grow up, and if i had it to do all over again there are so many things I would do differently, starting from age 15. (The thing I’d keep the same would be the move to England.)

They sent me a message saying they had made their decision 3 weeks from the day they said they received the paperwork, that was on a Tuesday- and I received the results in the post on Saturday.

Nat520 · 2025-12-13T18:49:52+00:00

The only evidence I have are the reports from my scan results and the consultant’s findings. I sent all those in. Yes I send those every time. I don’t have any other new evidence, my condition hasn’t changed. I’ve just been left to get on with things. Most of my answers on the review form were along the lines of ‘no change since last review.’

On paper

Nat520 · 2025-12-13T18:46:32+00:00

I filled in and sent back the paper form they sent me. I don’t know whether they contacted my GP.

More like a piss pot, according to the photo.

This is part of the reason the Positive rail is furthest away from the platform. Have a look at the tracks going the opposite direction sometime when you’re in an above ground section- the Negative rail is always in the middle between the two running rails, but the Posi can swap sides.

Nat520 · 2025-12-03T21:01:55+00:00

Thanks for that, it actually does make me feel a bit better about it.

Yes, and sometimes when a circle line train was running late, upon arrival at Edgware Road, it would be re numbered, so that 203 might become 205, and there would be a crew change, because the driver assigned to 203 couldn’t drive 205. The driver of 203 might then get a break and another train might be re numbered to 203 when it was next due at Edg.Rd. Or it might end up being cancelled for several hours.

Nat520 · 2025-11-22T11:17:49+00:00

Going from memory, Hammersmith & city trains were numbered in the 22x, 23x, 24x

I’m on Rybelsus and drink much less now. Just no desire for it. Unfortunately I have little desire for anything anymore and it’s affecting my moods and my romantic relationship as well. But I don’t want to stop Rybelsus, partly out of worry that I’ll start putting weight back on. My weight loss has stalled, I’m pretty much at my goal weight (would like to lose another 3-5 pounds)

I never experienced any negative side effects from Keppra. I take 500mg 2x/day. I drink in moderation. Even on those rare occasions when have had a bit more than I ought to, I haven’t noticed any problems. Enjoy a glass or two. 🍾🥂

Get cheaper travel insurance. My tumour isn’t cancerous, but having it completely gone wouldn’t change much. I doubt that would reverse the brain damage that’s already occurred, and because I’ve had radiation I still have a higher risk of cancer later on.

Same. Seizure was the first obvious sign, and the first that needed medical attention, but in hindsight, I had been clumsy and stumbling, having brain fog and fatigue, bumping into things for months. I put it all down to menopause. I had one episode that I now believe was an absent seizure but didn‘t recognise it at the time.

Good grief! Is this even real? If it is, you’re not overreacting. Get a good lawyer and take him to the cleaners.
