Sandwell Mrs C drives there as it's good driving! Smethwick too! She'll drive from harbourne, south to M5 or across to Westfield factory... But north is a no go! If anyone (every day for a week any time between 7am and 9pm) can go from Handswoth, to soho road, over snow hill fly over, onto A38 round to QE hospital and back via 5 ways round about (island if you're a brummie!) through lady wood, winson green and back over soho road to Handsworth and to the m6 without having to use the horn, emergency stop or sudden steering to avoid something I'll donate my Westfield to testicular cancer research! When I had my S2000 I filmed the driving and put it on YouTube! I filled up my YouTube allowance in a week!

In 2 days I will have been on the e-cigs for three months Not that I'm counting you understand ???

DougD, I've no idea if they count the consultants in the head count. Matt, It could be so much better if we handed over the running of the NHS to medical people. I've said that before and been shouted down on the grounds that "how would they get paid". You have what is called accounts departments to pay wages and deal with other financial matters. I know I go on (and on and on and on) about the French system but over here all decisions are based on medical need and not cost. If a doctor says you need something, no matter what the cost, you get it. Scanners are available as are the staff to operate them, If your doctor thinks that your condition requires urgent attention you are seen that or the next day. Even on non-urgent tests the longest I've waited is about 10 days. If the French can do it with about the same budget why can't we?

Got a standard IVA friendly boss to go on the standard Mountney wheel, wheel still in use though. If you want it I'm just down the road in Sale. Bob
