No worries you adorably chubby simpleton you :) x

Now if you excuse me, I have to get back to not visiting the dentist and having a more advanced sense of humour than you.

At least it doesn't cost 1000 for a ride in the WooWoo van

True enough. I'm definitely not saying its worse than the US, it's just so badly understaffed at the moment that any "non emergency" surgery will likely be a year or more waiting.

Don't get me wrong, I'm thankful it exists at all, but there's a reason doctors have just announced the longest strike in NHS history unfortunately. My wife is a doctor and frequently treats dying patients in the corridor, it's just a mess and a lot of people seem to think it's being deliberately underfunded to eventually make privatisation the only option.

That's one downside of public infrastructure. The government can only allocate a certain budget. There's a similar situation where I live but it's about a school.
