    Also disgraceful - we have sacrificed virgin steel production and intend replacing it with (so-called) green steel.

    Well, the truth is there’s no such thing as ‘green’ steel.

    Secondly, the Indians (yes even Tata) and the Chinese continue to open blast furnaces in their countries….. so much for reducing carbon emissions.

    Labour and the Tories should hang their heads in shame <cheers>

    Just dropped someone off at Morriston hospital and waiting for them. I can't believe how hard it is to park here !

    Massive carpark fully rammed with double parked motors everywhere !

    I got a space eventually right at the back but be out down the road if didn't.

    The amount of cars going round n round looking for a space warrants another carpark the size of a footy field or extend the multi storey back over the massive car park behind it .

    But then it'd cause to much chaos n more money down the black hole liebour keep bleeding about !

    I remember talking to Andrew Davies (former Sennedd Minister) about 7 or 8 years ago when he was the Chairman of the Swansea Bay University Health Board and he said that they had bought (or were buying?) a field opposite for the very purpose of providing more car parking spaces.

    Clearly, nothing has happened ….. :(

    Just had a letter from I think a local mp antonazi or something wanting me to come to a chat in surgery thingy near by. Is it that blue sometimes pink haired one that kips in westmonster ?

    Prob trying to justify expenses or a vote coming up ? But won't be going as with all of em it'll be a waste of my time !
    And not heard from any of them before, so don't even know who my local mp is cos all the same liers and grabbers so fk em !
    Maybe if reform are about ill chuck a vote to them when the time comes because they aint had a turn at fekin things up yet ! And who knows a big change with them in charge may even be possible especially if they do some of what Trumps doing in stopping huge waste and corruption with tax payers money, and keeping our noses out of foreign wars. just stop and reverse the invasion which will kill off what we once knew as our GB ! And more....

    A waste of space.

    The £28 @ month each private health insurance ad is about the same as I pay for dentist plan for 2 ! That is lucky if it gets used twice a year it's getting like America cough up or suffer ! Or hunt charities that may see you in under a year if youre lucky ?

    Yep - she’s my MP now as a result of the boundary changes.

    We used to have the World Hide and Seek Champion as our MP in Neath - Christina Rees the former Mrs Ron Davies

    Same down my way. When we moved our dentist was NHS. About 5 years later it went private so we had to pay to have dentist. So I know pay £44 a month for me and the wife. I’ve had my monies worth last year with root canal work plus a crown. But other than that it’s two check up and two hygienist visits per year.

    I pay £80/month - £49 in Neath for me, my wife and daughter, and £31 in Surrey for our son.

    I also have private medical insurance, arranged by the company I worked for. When I retired 11 years ago, I was paying just over £2.5kpa for my wife and yours truly.

    Now I’m over 65, I paid almost 4 times that last April.

    Not looking forward to the renewal premium for the coming year which I’m guessing will arrive during the first week in March…..

    I forgot, I also pay for my daughter that’s another £15 per month. I was paying for my son but at the age of 27 he can pay his own.
