General Discussion / Why is the NHS failing ?
Last post by muddy - May 02, 2026, 09:30:29 AM
Once the envy of the world the NHS is failing .
Successive governments have poured lots of money into the NHS .
So why is it failing ? 
It works very well in Spain and other countries in Europe why not the U.K. ?

 I don't even have an ironing board...
If something has to be ironed I lay a folded sheet down on the landing.. Get out the iron and give the item a quick going over.. Sorted..

I doubt it.
I expect they are all earnest clean living human beings who are trying to change the world and therefore will take precautions .

I find it excellent for identifying wild plants. Much nicer to know they aren't just weeds  :grin:

That's exactly it and why many wild flowers appear in clumps then maybe not seen again for miles. Others aren't so picky of course.

Or maybe catching something unpleasant if the cruise lived up to your advertising material.

And now more from the chief Greenshirt

The UK government must ACT NOW and:
" Condemn the Israeli Navy's illegal actions against the Flotilla "

It's not illegal look up the laws of the seas man or stick to boob whispering ( he got that wrong too )

"Demand the safety and release of all British Citizens involved in this mission"

They are not in capitivity they were all landed on a Greek beach probaby catching a few rays after their PR stunt

Lavender is another plant  that doesnt grow well in my garden ..
I think a plant has to like where it's at .
When you find that place it grows well .

I downloaded your plant app Klondike, will give it a go.  :check:

I got my Lavender yesterday, 4 big pots of nice healthy plants, fair chuffed with them, just got to get them in the ground and watered in.
Also bought 4 Solar Lights, stuck them into the trough planters and they do the job well, this was later last night.
