Re: A week on an NHS Ward
I work in the NHS and have done so for the past 11 year, 14 including training. 14 years ago every wards ran on at least 4 nurses on days, 3 on nights. Now you’re lucky to have 3 on days and 2 on nights, for a ward of 30 patients. The austerity years and pay freezes, introducing tuition fees to nurs...

Re: Annual Burnley ice cream outrage
I was in Headingly last year supporting the Leeds marathon with the wife and kids. The kids wanted an ice cream from the van. It was £4.10p for a 99.
I went 1 minute down the road, bought 4 Sainsburys own cornettos for about 2 quid.
