Other Snippets

The Royal Bromfield and Harefield NHS trust has produced an 18 booklet for staff on how to dress. It seems some of the hospital administrators have too much time on their hands, or maybe they are overstaffed in that department.

Michelle Heaton former member of Liberty X has had to give up on her binge drink experiment as the ill health effects were too dangerous for her to continue. This should be given greater publicity. apparently she got skin problems, lethargy, stomach pains, liver damage, mood swings, all in three weeks. What sort of nation will we have in a few years. Its a good job the Government introduced 24 hour drinking to help the nations health.

Rail fares are going up by upto 15% in places. That will really encourage people to get out of cars and use the train. If the train companies want to make more money then put more coaches on the busy trains.

I see the New Years honours list is full of over paid self important people, especially the OBE's and above. I like Michael Parkinson, but lets face it he has been very well paid for what he does, yet he gets a Knighthood. My wife as an example as a Paramedic is working shifts, out in all weathers, dealing with badly injured people, drunks, drug addicts, gets abused on a regular basis, for a little pay, but people like her never get near the honours board. Something is wrong somewhere.

Finally this will be last blog post of 2007, so a Happy and Prosperous New Year to you all
