Supermarket shopping - proof you're a vulnerable person?
My partner has bad asthma; so bad in fact, she couldn't get enough breath to complete a spirometry test a couple of weeks ago. One can understand why she doesn't want to go anywhere public until COVID-19 is not such a threat. In addition to this she's also gluten intolerant. I'm now doing her shopping for her. Up until now…

Free dental treatment question
I remember many years ago my husband got free dental treatment as he was unemployed for a short time. He booked a series of appointments to have the work done but got a job before the work was completed. The dentist said he didn't have to pay as he was unemployed when he booked the work.

Temporary dental crown fix.
Eek - just woken up to find my crown in my mouth - good job I didn't swallow it ! It's one of my canines, and the supporting post is the original tooth rather than a metal implant. I don't imagine this will be classed as a dental emergency - so is there something I can buy from a chemist to stick it back on until we are…
