  1. Changing the running of a monster like the NHS is like turning a supertanker, very very slow. I don't like how it is now but what the hell was the government to supposed to do? Plow in loads more money that we don't have? They have to struggle through until this country gets it's head above water and then bolster the NHS coffers. You can't spend what we don't have.
  2. Think so. Agency staff don't seem to show the commitment and often don't show leaving the ward under staffed.
  3. I think you are right there. Spoken to a few long term staff there and they thought it was a better place under a conservative government. Less box ticking and more common sense. Lets face it the NHS will never have enough money. There is always some great new treatment to add to the vast range they already have. It all adds to the cost. Be nice if they could have the recommended staff to patient ratios though.
  4. And mine Richie. Sad that they have such a hard time on a regular basis. I have to remind Liz of the few good days she has had. Not sure how long she will be able to hack it if things in Derriford don't improve.
  5. As above. Not used one but Metabo kit is normally top notch. What are you cutting up with it Jon?
  6. Always good to have a super productive day whatever the job.
  7. Surely it's the fact that many people want to be doctors and nurses. If no one did the pay would go up to entice people in and vice versa. Think all employers pay as little as they can to get the staff the want, it's not complicated. My wife is a nurse and works ungodly hours for average pay but it's what she want's to do.
  8. I am going for Many Clouds to win. When is it on?
  9. Saw our first yesterday. Probably the earliest we have had them here. Fantastic little birds. Always enjoy watching them swoop down to get water from the pond.
  10. Never tried it but how about something like this [ame=http://www.amazon.co.uk/Acorn-5210A-Wildlife-Standard-Infrared/dp/B00873DB5S]Acorn 5210A Wildlife Trail Camera, Standard Infrared: Amazon.co.uk: Garden & Outdoors@@AMEPARAM@@http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/41bXjQcbz8L.@@AMEPARAM@@41bXjQcbz8L[/ame] Would be pretty hard for them to deny it if you have photographic evidence.
  11. Anyone got any beech, ash or sycamore or other quality hardwood available now or soon? Thanks Call Beau on 01822 852933
  12. So you reckon the Tomtom is still a good bit of kit TCD?
  13. Think an iphone is not exactly a cheap option. Phone signal in rural Devon is reguly nill so a sat driven option would be better IMO.
  14. Just need a simple GPS for the truck. The cry I used to hear was just buy a Tomtom but there are so many models these days I don't know where to start. Don't need anything fancy just a basic pic of where I am and where I am trying to get to. Thanks
  15. Too late on this one I am afraid. Taken it to Mark Woodhouse to get it sorted. Just chickened out of getting in there.
  16. I got Precariat "This is the poorest and most deprived class group. According to the Great British Class Survey results, lots of people in this group: " Don't feel poor or deprived
  17. Not sure thats true. Didn't the tories under John Major hang onto some of our gold reserves during the early nineties recession? It was Blair and Brown who sold the lot.
  18. Looks bias to me Came out UKIP which is never going to happen with tories last even though they may get my vote. It's sad but I am going to be voting for the party I dislike the least.
  19. Thanks for posting that. I was left with Lib Dems, Greens and some logo with a tree which I have no idea what party it was. Edit. Quick google search shows that the tree is the conservatives. Shows how closely I have been following politics
  20. Hose is pretty firmly stuck on the carb. Think it will snap before coming off. Just going to pay up and take it to pro to get it sorted.
  21. From what you say spud it's definitely the 50cc version. Edit. Yep definitely a great machine if I can get it back to full strength. Will try wisecobandit's sugestion as it will be closest I have been to having a drink for ages.
  22. Was sold to me as the more gutsy version 50cc I think with the silver brake cover. Any idea of the cost of a refurb as it sounds a bit beyond me fixing it?
  23. No it does have the decomp valve. Never replaced anything at the drive end other than the fuel filter and spark plug.
  24. Hard to see the fuel line. Does it need full removal for inspection? Had a quick look on youtube at a guy changing a fuel line and he used some quite specialist looking pliers. Is there another way to check it over?
  25. Thats what the is for.
