Thank you - just checked in a slightly larger Local while passing and SEL £1.65 or similar and scanning as that too . Shame as they had loads.

I forgot my credit card ... .

So may be a SEL reduction and store specific rather than a national system reduction (if that makes sense).

Am just sitting here with the French windows open as it is still quite warm and cannot help noticing the noise the birds are making whilst seeming to congregate.I think they must be getting ready to migrate although it seems a little early as it has been rather mild :)I think they must be Swallows as they are the only ones I know that migrate.

I think they need to have a so called "Sale" reduction on them previously and have gone to 20p this week.

The SEL for the Blue Ribands were suspicious to me as they had "Sale [STRIKE]£1[/STRIKE] 67p" but scanned 20p. The rocky roads had [STRIKE]£1.xx[/STRIKE] £1 but scanned that they did not have the word Sale anywhere on the SEL.

Am I making sense.

I think there is some sort of across the board reductions as the pickles had 20p SELs in two "Local" stores.

I popped into another bigger store earlier and these items were not 20p. But I am going to keep an eye out for 20p soup next week two big stores today had some varieties with "Sale" reductions.

I have just watched this too Karlie and felt the same way as you.We all moan and grumble from time to time about the NHS but I for one am truly grateful for everything my Family and I have been able to receive:Tand I think we should all take time to just think how lucky we are after listening to this elderly Gentleman:A

The problem is Nana, that there is a significant proportion of people who are not grateful.



You are right, we're very lucky to have the NHS.

I'm just going to inform you of the cruel/sad/disappointing stuff that I sometimes see. This may be a long post and I apologise in advance.

I go to work and I see 'ungrateful' people everyday. They 'whinge' about their care, long waiting times, uncomfortable beds, not enough pillows, operation delays, hospital food, delays in scans and several hundred other things. I see doctors, staff nurses, auxiliary nurses, sisters, porters, radiographers, bank nurses, locum doctors etc. get verbally abused (myself included) and sometimes physically abused. On one occasion, my colleague was strangled by a patient's relative after they had waited over 30 minutes for a doctor to attend them (not strangled to death, but to the extent where he couldn't breathe for about 10 seconds). I found him (by chance) on a set of stairs in the hospital; he was crying his eyes out.

People do not realise that from 5pm to 8am (15 hours of the day; Monday to Friday), the hospital is severely lacking in staff. Add to this the whole of Saturday and Sunday. People think that a hospital is a 24/7 working environment and it is, to some extent. But people don't realise that departments close down and that there are 'on-call teams' when doctors are on shift.

For example, pretty much all hospitals in the UK (big or small) have about 3 doctors on-call during the evenings/nights/weekends. A&E is the only department to be fully staffed 24/7. These 3 doctors on-call typically have to look after 300 - 500 inpatients (i.e those in beds and on wards). But what people don't realise is that Mr Jones on the Cardiology ward starts to have a heart attack at 11pm. At the same time, Mrs Campbell develops signs of stroke on Ward 12. Half an hour later, a nurse bleeps you to say that Mr Stokes is becoming more short of breath and is now coughing up blood. An hour later, Margaret on Ward 32 starts to vomit blood and is developing severe abdominal pain. 2 hours before you got a bleep but didn't have time to answer it, you get re-bleeped from the same number; turns out Betty had a fall from her bed and has now fractured her femur. You then get a call from the on-call radiologist to say someone's scan results weren't reviewed earlier in the day and that the patient's results show a severe pneumonia...are they on antibiotics? Nope. We are pushed to breaking point..and then you get abuse, jokes about being late on the seen, complaints of poor service, 'I called for you 2 hours ago', being strangled...the list goes on.

Even nursing staff are stretched (and that's every single hour of every week - they have so much 'mandatory' paperwork to fill in that they haven't got time to actually look after the patients). It's such a shame to see; they're job description says it all, they need to nurse patients. However, some big shot in the managerial side of the hospital decides to introduce new paperwork which takes an hour to complete. How are they supposed to look after their patients? Administer medication? Help feed them? Respond to their pain?

Granted, mistakes happen. We are only human. Some mistakes should never happen, but they do. But has anyone ever thought, why? Could it not be frustration within? Tiredness? Stretched resources? On average, every year one doctor is killed when driving home from a long shift. Verdict? Sleeping at the wheel.

I've lost count the number of journeys I've done driving home and not remembering a single thing about the drive home; almost sleeping with my eyes open.

Sorry about the above; this was not aimed at anyone in particular. Just my viewpoint/interesting facts about the hospital environment.

Needed to get that off my chest. :mad::o:rotfl::o:mad:

There's just a growing number of people who don't appreciate a thing that the NHS offers; 1st class healthcare.

How's your cat settling in viv ?

She was quite the first few days but she is now settling down and she is quite affectionate so I am very pleased. I have arranged with the vet for her to be neutered and to have her vaccinations etc and I am very pleased she is using her litter tray! Her name was tinsel I asked the Vet if I could change her name because she is now 10 months old he laughed and said yes it the tone of voice they respond to, so now her name is Roxy
