We're lucky here phone in the morning usually get an appointment then same day or within 24 hours , had to go last week funnily enough phoned at 9am & got an appointment at 11.15am.

Same here

Can't get hold of a quack for love or money.

And, months after you ask for an appointment you end up with a doctor who is hard (almost impossible) to understand.

I tend to pay privately if terminally sick with man flu, or pox.

Since my health challenge of 2023 I have had no issue in getting a face to face appointment, of which I have had quite a few

Indeed. 
The only way they got you was if they outran you in a chase and then it was a fair cop*.
If you outran them, they just thought " we will get you next time".
It was good sport enjoyed by all who took part - apart from those who died trying, but that was the risk, if you decided to take it.
The world was a simpler and better place then. 

* It was sometimes a bit more complicated in Belfast, where they had random Police roadblocks.
Thats how I got caught riding a Norton Commando when I was sixteen.
 Cop pointed at me to pull into the nearside. I briefly though about just gunning it, but the machine gun he was pointing at me made me se sense, so I complied. 

Yep. Very wise.

I was given a good kicking in the cells a number of times. This was before CCTV or recorded interviews.

It was something we all knew would happen if we got caught being a naughty boy.

Ah, before PACE Act 1984 then

Definitely. Opti is probably talking about the 1950's, Lizzie.

    Yes Steve, I am old but he is really old!!

Wipe it off with a rag and forget about it. Anymore involved and you may regret it.

The alternative is to replace everything... Because that's the only outcome from scrubbing.

Right, thanks DG.   I will take your advice

A damp rag will suffice.

Thanks DG

But what is safe to soak the rag in to remove the grime please?

Water. It gets wet under there every time you drive in the rain. 

Yes, but water usually requires something to eat into grime and crud, which my shocks are covered in, let alone the signs of rust.  So maybe washing up liquid added can help and not do any damage?    I was also thinking this morning of white spirit which could be safe and not damage anything??

Been on meds since for Vertigo Steve

Did that happen after a viral infection, such as a sniffle?

I'd never really heard of it until Mrs TB got it, then it turns out its really common!

One of my neighbours I was talking to yesterday has got it as well his started with a ear infection & sniffles so could possibly start from a viral infection, mine started Christmas eve probably because of my sugar  levels going  out of sync as I'm Type 2 Diabetic,so apparently that can start it off as well, I'd given it a month and I had improved slightly but saw my GP & she prescribed the tablets which have been brilliant I've suffered no side effects thankfully I think you can even buy them over the counter.
