  1. Fairly bizarre that they want to reduce blood tests?! Blood tests aren't associated with particularly high co2, and, they are very useful for identifying upcoming health issues e.g. a1c for type 2 diabetes/pre-diabetes, so that one is looking a bit counter productive.
  2. Presumably you mean 'Why would they want to do that?'
  3. Because parents who wish to immunise their children against measles, but don't want them having the triple vaccine jab, could go ahead and get them the measles jab.
  4. I expect that vaccine uptake would be higher if the single measles jab were available on the NHS.
  5. Do you have access to the actual official reasoning behind this company policy? If so, what is it?
  6. Yes- because you've just posted this on a public forum
  7. Though at many times of the day your chances of getting a taxi to turn up is far from adequate.
  8. None of the drugs obtainable legally in the UK are suitable for reliable euthanasia- in overdose they tend to leave you alive while destroying liver or kidney function. Barbiturates are viable, but, made illegal, in large part because so many people used them successfully for suicide.
  9. Here's a list with around 25 foodbanks for Sheffield- http://www.sheffieldfoodbank.org.uk/food-bank-list/
  10. TBH I'm more bothered by the smell of those who reek of chemicals and perfume.
  11. Prior to covid I would also have thought that right/left wing shouldn't have made much difference when it came to a pandemic and the associated compliance decisions. It perplexed me greatly why, whenever I found a source of info that seemed sane to me, that it was inevitably a source that was either right wing, or labelled as such. I honestly can't think of a single left wing source that challenged the measures, objected to the lockdowns- in fact the majority of left wing sources only called out for yet more measures, more restrictions, more censorship, etc. In hindsight, I can now see why the left are like that- watching the increasing woke hysteria with all the attendant demands for restrictions, and, especially censorship, also makes things a bit clearer. It was about compliance, and, any caring, was for a select group of the population, and damn the rest to hell. That is not 'caring'. Children died of cancer unable to see their parents. Buisnesses and lives ruined. As predicted by some, the NHS now further crippled by the fall out of the lockdowns in terms of horrific waiting lists..... and plenty more which I'll not mention as I don't want to take this thread off topic.
  12. I used to be quite averse to right wingers. But watching GB news during the insanity of the global covid over reaction did wonders for my mental health- was very good to be aware that there were people out there who could see that what the authorities were doing was not right. Disturbingly, all the left wingers seemed to offer was total compliance. Personally I don't much care about left wing vs right wing- there are clearly highly intelligent and moral people on both sides [and vice versa]. Prior to covid I never would have supported a Tory govt, but, I sure am glad left wingers weren't in charge during covid.
  13. Just to be clear- I wasn't advising to switch to Uber- City has issues.... Uber has different issues. I like to support City because if they go under, Uber has the monopoly and their prices will rise accordingly. What I was suggesting was to have both apps, so if a City driver doesn't pick up your job you can book an Uber i.e. it's a back up.
  14. I do- the solution is for these companies to stop making people jump through pointless hoops and provide a print option
  15. Doesn't seem 'fair' to me to make a person spend a significant part of their day traveling into town, messing around with parking/public transport, queueing etc, when the provision of a print option would enable them to have the printout in a matter of seconds.
  16. Well, you can, via wifi or bluetooth. Yet they have restricted it, and no one seems to be able to justify it. Why restrict something if it provides no benefit to anyone, and annoys some people?
  17. There are 2 types of people who buy the online tickets- those who don't want to print them out, and, those who do. If a print option is provided here's no bother to the first group- they won't be looking for a print option. No bother to the second group either, as they do want to print so having the option is good. Clearly the motivation is nothing to do with bothering people. The only thing that will/is causing bother, is the absence of the print option.
  18. None of which explains why there is not an option to print out the ticket You'd think that with technology 'evolving' so wonderfully that things would be improving rather than going backwards- a print option is not a difficult thing to provide, is it?
  19. You might want to contact Disability Sheffield- they are already aware of large numbers of disabled people being let down by City Taxis. The reality is that getting any kind of reliable service from City Taxis requires a lot of experience e.g. knowing when they are less likely to turn up- Friday afternoons are always bad due to it being Friday prayers; 3-30pm onwards on any week day, due to the rush hour conjestion etc. The City app is fairly bad, but using it at least lets you know when a driver has picked up your job, and allows you to track where they are- if you book by phone you'll have no idea of either of those things. Then have the Uber app to hand so if no City driver picks up your job you can then switch to Uber.
  20. There's no reason to assume that they will accept a screenshot. The fact that they've removed any option to print the ticket suggests it is quite likely that they will reject a screen grab. The question I'd like answered, is, why have they not included an option to print?!?
  21. There seems to be some doubt about Haye being vegan- https://www.thesun.co.uk/fabulous/20474746/vegan-cheat-like-david-haye/
  22. Some argue that due to the nature of gladiator combat i.e. edged weapons, that the prime function of the gladiators diet was to ensure a fairly high level of bodyfat, as this would help to prolong the fights. Which mma fighters are vegan? I understand Diaz isn't any longer vegan? Any long term vegans doing well in mma?
