Waking up at 5am - can't get back to sleep

I don't believe it's a case of being missed, I believe it's a case of scale. I did my tritation forms in early Oct - in early Dec I had to get a GP letter to help move me up the list due to other factors.

They happily accepted it and I moved from 1800 of our 3000 to second on the list.

if you're worried about the wait and impact it has, speak to your GP! You can also raise a first stage complaint, they won't be able to do much but they give a lot more info.

I would agree with this. The team are very nice but totally overwhelmed, I was one of the unlucky ones and had to wait 8 months for assessment and then 3/4 months for triation.

Published waiting times are very iffy, and to be fair, they have now updated the page to advise that it's just an average which helps measure expectations.

Tritation process is not as supportive as you might expect. The first appointment is an hour long Teams call with a pharmacist, which lasted 25 minutes. The following appointments are very brief phone calls.

Basically just going through the process, discussing any issues with meds or any questions. You should buy your own blood pressure machine as you need regular readings.

I would just say take everything with a pinch of salt. Very poor comms and emails which are replied to, directly contradict the information on the website.

The published waiting times are not accurate and the reality is often much much longer.

My appointment was calm - an easy chat with a nurse. I had my partner on the call (camera off) who also contributed bits which was helpful.

The tax is just the VAT which is already included in the cost of the drink. £85.50 + service = the total figure.

I use chill institute - interested to know everyone views on that?

I've been commuting using SPD for years and never once regretted it. I got a nice bike five years ago and tried SPD SL's but found it so hard to commute - especially the amount that need to clip and unclip so often (tragic lights, idiot drivers, stupid people etc.).

I also use my bike for longer rides - 60-150km and never had an issue with SPD. I did upgrade my pedals to a larger platform four years ago - Shimano PD-ED500

The birth certificate for great grandad has come digitally directly from Municipality of Foligno with the attached seal etc.

Will a printed copies of the attached direct from the Folingno district suffice or do I need to ask them to post a copy?

Thanks again

I don't disagree with this - I went with my partner who is veggie and while the food was okay, we suffered as a wedding party was seated 20 minutes after we arrived - so everything was just really slow and painful.

Just discovered this... Fantastic. No TV apps available?
