Charge for DSE Eye Test
Afternoon folks, I had a strange issue this week and wanted to let people know about it to avoid a hidden charge and to see what people think. I'm overdue my eye test, so booked one at my local Specsavers, where I've been previously. My previous employer just had me fill in a claim form, along with a receipt, to reclaim…

I am in my 20s and due to past problems my teeth are rotted away but I cant afford dental care?
I dont know where else to go for advice as i want to remain anonymous for obvious embarrassing reasons. I live in the Uk and as I was growing up I didnt go to the dentist much I guess my mum just never remembered to book appointments for me. I was about 10 when I had a bad accident and broke off the bottom halves of my 2…

From January 1st 2026 users will have to pay a subscription fee or lose access. It's a fairly small…

Over 700 people die each year from falling down stairs in the U.K.
A friend of mine's husband died a few weeks ago, he had fallen down the stairs, and was in his early 80s. He was perfectly fit when I last saw him, a few months ago, and I don't know the exact reason he fell (i.e. did he slip, lose his grip, lose his balance, etc.) and my friend wasn't there when it happened. An ex work…
