Private Medicine – the cost

Today, Françoise had a minor dermatological treatment, as the NHS are no longer proselytizing such interventions.  Dr Pimple Popper and the bad skin clinic on TV will show you some examples of conditions that are treated privately. After the NHS told Françoise that they could not help her she went for a private consultation which cost £175 for 30 minutes.  Shortly afterwards an operation time...

Why go to church?

This morning I rose early as is my wont and after a couple of coffees decided to tune in to Trans World Radio which is an international American-based evangelical station with an outreach station in the United Kingdom. At 8 o'clock this morning a group of English commentators were discussing the problem with 'noise' in society and how it distracts us from thinking and focusing our minds where...

Maybe it is because I was born in Yorkshire but I'm always on the lookout for a bargain and back in October I spotted in the Midsomer Journal a deal for a five-day holiday in Great Yarmouth which for non UK readers is about as east as you can get in the United Kingdom. The price for four nights/five days including...
