  1. An age ago when my local service was redirected and services reduced I posed a question about customer service. A very vocal, and regular contributor to this forum, employee summed up the attitude of major providers by stating they are business and don’t do public service
  2. Back to the current, Truss and Quasi didn’t listen to ‘people ‘ or the markets re the U turn, they listened to Tory MPs spooked by the polls and fear of loosing jobs and influence withdrawing support
  3. Having worked in social housing my experience is that a minority of tenants take up the majority of housing officers’ time. Evicting anti social tenants requires a lot of evidence from a variety of sources to present to a court which can take months/years during which affected neighbours give up recording incidents as they perceive nothing is being done. If cases do reach court appointed lawyers will plead mitigating circumstances such as substance misuse etc and request another chance for the tenant. I now live in social housing, pay my rent on time, get on with my neighbours and, hopefully don’t cause them any aggravation. On the odd occasion I’ve needed to contact Housing Services I might have had a bit of a wait on the phone but their response has been good. In comparison to some friends in private rented accommodation I’ve received a far better service
  4. The energy crisis will solve the NHS crisis by killing off a number of the oldies who have exceeded their 3 score years +10 and now need NHS treatment and/or social care. Those that survive can go intoNightingale Hospitals re vamped as modern day workhouses. The resulting empty properties will be used to solve the housing crisis. Hopefully not a real policy but please don’t share with Liz Truss-she might think it’s a goer
  5. With so many Sheffield and Rotherham routes already deemed too unprofitable to maintain what’s going to happen if Grant Shapps’ proposed £2 maximum fare makes it into statute?
  6. The worlds’ gone mad-in winter trainers with no socks but come summer out come the socks to accompany the sandals, must be a man thing.
  7. Great—just got to get the other bus services sorted so we can get to the city centre to use it
  8. I’m resigned to getting old but not the other bit!
  9. Tuesday nights at Top Rank and. Sunday afternoons at Heartbeat finished when I started work at 15. Replaced by under age drinking at Crazy Daisy, Cavendish etc. and additional job working behind bar at Top Rank aged 16 to fund first girls holiday to Spain. Different world now when my 15 year old granddaughter has to be put on and met off the bus
  10. Quite right, particularly from Boris who has a tubby Worsel Gummidge has his style guru😀
  11. Genuinely don’t know what to do given this decision. Clinically extremely vulnerable and spent most of pandemic first year shielding and isolating. Had all vaccination, as did my family with those hesitant doing so to protect me. Now need surgery with a one year wait, perhaps extended due to staff shortages due to NHS vaccine mandate but now may get treatment earlier by non vaccinated staff. As an ex NHS worker who had to have a Hepatitis B vaccine and accept treatment for positive mandatory monthly Strep tests am I wrong to feel the NHS mandate of ‘do no harm’ is being compromised? Get treated and be harmed by unvaccinated staff or live with safely with debilitating condition?
  12. People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Pathetic attempt by Boris to deflect attention. Instead look at how many of the electorate view you and how international leaders, eg French spokesperson smirking over party gate. Man up and admit you’re a liability to the country, you’ve had your moment of fame, and given your assertion that you’re not earning enough as PM, take your sorry ass on the circuit and rake it in
  13. Having retired in 2019 I receive the new pension rate which is above pension credit qualification. I have a small NHS pension and lump sum which in, hindsight, I added to my meagre savings meaning I pay full rent and council tax. In hindsight I should have ignored previous government and parental advice to save
  14. I’m in my late 60s, female and 5ft 10 since aged 15. Always been tormented about it but came from a family of giants- mum same height and dad 6ft 3. Married 6 foot 3 man and spawned two sons 6 foot 4 and 6 foot 5. Common denominator -home cooked food with lots of veg, NHS and........genes.
  15. That’s the same setting as mine when it’s on and I feel positively balmy😀
