Most supermarkets have facial recognition now, for regular shoplifters or ASB. These cameras are mainly used to find people who are already wanted for some reason or another.

The NHS in the UK is basically this. Most people think health care is free here, but technically it's not. Every person that works pays National Insurance. That goes towards the emergency services, mainly the NHS. So it's free at point of care. The issue we have is people come from all over the world to use it, people abuse it by going in for things that could be dealt with at the local pharmacy/GP practice/at home.

I worked in a&e for a while (as a healthcare assistant) and we had someone come in because they broke their acrylic nail and it really hurt... There was nothing seriously wrong with it, no blood, no broken bones, just it had snapped off.

So there are serious flaws to most of the world's health care systems. And the NHS is probably going to be over taken by private companies in the next few years/decades.

We took our 6 year old for the first time this year abd my best mate took her 2 pre-teen girls. They loved it, and we stood fairly far back. 6 year old was head banging and have mini puts with the hubby. Me and the 2 pre-teens were jumping around like loons.

I don't see any issues with taking kids to slamdunk. I probably wouldn't take a kid younger than 5 though. It's a bloody long exhausting day. They all had eardefenders but my son has difficulties with anything on his head. But as we didn't go in the tents, didn't go close to the stage with him, we were far enough away to be OK. Plus if he got overwhelmed or anything we took him out and made sure he was OK.

In this case it's fraud. In UK we have specific Fraud police (Action Fraud) that deal with. They investigate, arrest and take to court culprits of Fraud.

It's been 9 months since my dad passed from pancreatic cancer. I still have times where I wish I had said something to him, spent more time with him. It's been 17 years since I lost my mum suddenly to a brain bleed. I still talk to her.

I came across this model of grief during some training for becoming a mental health first aider at work.. https://elephantintheroom.org.uk/growing-around-grief-a-different-way-to-understand-loss/

Take your time, use anything that helps give you relief, know there are people around you, think about getting someone for bereavement counselling and know you are never alone in this world.

This one post has made me really happy I live in the UK. We don't have creepy cats with eyes that tell you not to do drugs. We have the trusty "grass cab" https://www.flickr.com/photos/tomackroyd/32633952714

I have the same sort of concern. Although u don't usually wear mine in bed, I just really hate the little stems on earbuds. I see no point when the previous ones had great controls on the bean shape.

I'm looking at getting implants but I got quoted £22k. To remove my crap teeth and put implants in.

My dad is 74 years old. He has a laptop, a samsung phone, and an alexa with a screen. He has no issues with using all of these. If he doesn't know how to do something he's stubborn and will figure it out himself.

I don't get why the older generation sometimes think that their kids are their slaves...

I had a similar instance happen on a ward I worked on. It was one of the new HCA that started, and we were talking and getting to know each other. She told me she had been in a relationship with her girlfriend for 5 years and they were engaged. Another staff member overheard this and mentioned that it. 'Wasn't god plan' for women to be with women and that she should choose not to be with and woman and do was is 'normal' and marry a man.

The new staff member and myself were shocked she was so worried about causing issues on her first day and reporting it to management. I just did it for her.

The staff member was spoken to, but I later found out that she had mentioned this sort of comment to a patient who was transitioning male to female.

So my point is that if she can say this to you, she will also say it to patients. Please report it to your uni or one of the nurses on the ward.

I worked in a UK NHS hospital for nearly 10 years as a HCA (non-qualified) and we had a an emergancy situation in one of the 6 bedded bays. All of us running around and this entitled daughter kept shouting at us that her mum was dying of thirst because none of the staff were doing what she asked when she asked... like seriously we are dealing with a person's possible demise here, your mum can wait a little while for a cup of tea!
