Ok I am in a more cynical mood than normal (is that possible).
I tried to get a Doctors appointment for Friday.
This is a rough guide to the conversation with the interrogator (I mean receptionist)
ME.'Hi are there any appointments available after 1pm Friday'
Receptionist. 'Yes, but you can't book one and will have to ring after 12 on Friday'
ME 'Why'
Her 'Well we keep them spare in case anyone wants one'
ME 'Well I want one?'
HER 'That's ok, just ring after 12 Fri and see if any left, but it's first come tra la laaa etc.
ME 'Well I am getting in early so can I have one'
HER. 'No you will have to ring Fri after 12 it's the procedure(automaton voice)
I gave in. There was no way she could see the logic in booking the day before???? The great British NHS at it's best.
Second cynicism moment.
It has been announced now that 5 fruit and veg a day ain't as good as they said it was for you.
Now I have figured out what the Government are doing here.
When they have a surplus of an item then they tell you that it is good for you? Get it. So if the red wine vat is overflowing then they tell you it is good for you.
Now we have had a rotten winter and a lousy summer last year so fruit and veg is a little more scarce...get it!!!!
I had an headache today so opened a new bottle of aspirin. The first one I took was large round and woolly...bloody horrible.
