One Month on...

A brief rant - 3 things that bugged me this morning.

1. Why can't my doctors surgery allow me to collect a repeat prescription on Saturday mornings? Our surgery doubles as the local NHS Direct Walk-in Centre. It is staffed lit and heated but because the surgery reception is not open I cannot collect my prescription, that repeats every 2 months, losing me an hours work time every time.

2. Not many years ago I took several pictures of a lorry with it's front off-side wheel stuck firmly in Boots of Westgate Street's cellar. http://people.bath.ac.uk/mnsngc/20030730/Lorry_in_a_Hole.htm . These pictures were subsequently published in the then daily Bath Evening Chronicle. Needless to say the grating that failed was replaced by a steel sheet and tarmac patching. Despite the cost of constantly repairing and patching the situation is allowed to persist and yet again my morning walk up to the bus stop in the High Street was disturbed by lorries driving down our pavements with the distinctive crunch as yet more slabs crack.

3. Why do people who board the bus to the University insist on clustering at the front preventing full access to the rear. It misleads the driver into thinking his bus is full and deprives following passengers of a timely arrival at their destination. I thinks it's ignorant and selfish.

Whoops!!!!! There goes my Blood Pressure again!!!!
