Here’s my payslip as a first year doctor in 2005, next to a first year doctor colleague’s in 2023. 18 years later, their take home salary is less than mine was. I lived for free in hospital accommodation and had a fraction of their student loan.

What’s the UK government’s plastic policy? Dump it on other countries! Less than 10% of our plastic recycling is actually recycled in the UK.
The rest is sent overseas where it’s often burned or dumped, fuelling health and wildlife emergencies.
RT to expose. #Wasteminster 1/5

❗️Don't let it go to waste!❗️
Thank you so much for your support so far, however our fight isn't over yet! ❌With another national lockdown, and a large amount of stock, we have reduced ALL PRICES of the Cornish Blue down to cost to try to avoid doing so. 🏷
Spread the word!

One of my previous #upcycle projects was to recover vintage double decker bus seats in factory waste neoprene.
Worked on more noeprene yesterday... forgotten how smelly the glue is!
What was your most surprising project?
