    Article in the paper today obviously following on from the programme. It appears IVF clinics in Nigeria implant multiple embyros at a time ( against UK that only implants 2 as a rule ) and they then encourage the women to go to US or UK as them and us have very good care for premature babies. And most do not pay their bills but we send millions to Nigeria in aid.
    My Mum was taken to hospital in Switzerland with heart problems and unfortunately my sis had not taken her ehic card and did not call me to ask for her NI number ( which is in my head ). My sister had to pay the bill but after 9 months the UK refunded it as Switzerland are part of the EHIC scheme.

    I saw that article rose, it makes me :mad: to think that we send them millions in aid yet their people are actively encouraged to come here for treatment and most do not pay the UK for this. There is definitely something badly wrong with our system.

    Got to be worth a try, you wont be in a worse position than before.

    When you find out, let us know!

    I'll try to buy a gift voucher and will let you know if it works. Almost bought an iTunes one today in S for £15 as it said 10% off. But they shouldn't have put the red promotional things in between the £15 ones as they didn't apply to them, sadly.

    Evening all. Hope the elite are well. Xx

    So proud of my dd2 she is home from Nottingham after 5 days away from her kids, she stood up for someone she believed in, and not only was he found not guilty after jury being out for 20 mins but judge said case should not have been brought and questions need to be asked. Sadly his accuser won't be charged even though she has done this, 7 times now as she has mental illness .

    I think we can roughly workout the background of this, and yes, it is shocking, peoples lives can be ruined by they sorts of things. 7 times, she should be locked up! (not necessarily in a prison)

    Your right they should. This lads lucky His partner stood by him with there little boy . but nearly ruined His life, as they have been through hell , and the cost involved as well. Just so glad he can put it behind him.

    Think this is correct that you can no longer use Sainsbury gift cards for your petrol purchases.

    I saw signs near the card machines in the S petrol station a few months ago saying this.
    You could definitely use S gift cards previous to this as I did it myself.
