      Nope government closed loads down.

      I use to try and use them as well as it was much easier than seeing a doctor.

        Another reason not to bother registering with them. Gonna die sometime anyway so ignorance is bliss, if not also painful.
        Maybe tomorrow, I'll want to settle down. Until tomorrow, I'll just keep moving on.

            Oh ffs.

            That was a decent quick in and out service. No doubt too efficient for the govermin, and the doctors weren't getting paid enough as the nurses could handle all the easier stuff.

              They used to start at 7 am so I could pop in on the way to work. Once they saw me in the Lycra they knew I was worth saving.

              They are very handy, stopped the abuse of A&E. Many were in town centres so they could have had a police presence and treated the drunks at the weekend.
              Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.

                Sadly true, we have one nearby which is clinging on, if you need to see a doc on a weekend it is priceless, but under threat of closure.
