I qualified in 1979. I am a trifle tired of seeing some of my contemporaries mouthing off. Yes, my initial pay was £1/hrs for first 40 hours and the next 76 hours compulsory overtime 33p/hr. Desperately silly hours.

...but I had tuition fees paid and a grant for living expenses (my parents had to top up to advised level). We worked as a team "The Firm" , patients were in hospital long enough for us to learn much about natural history of disease & continuity of care 2/3

@TheRSC #JuliusCaesar Just seen the matinée. What a travesty. So much of Shakespeare's subtleties lost in over-woke production and casting. Sign language put big barrier up to majority who don't speak it. Dreadful.

@Deborah62655228 Sorry to hear of your illness and wishing you a speedy recovery. Peter S
@Deborah62655228 Delighted to see you are still in there battling for better services (TV news today). All the best. Peter S.
So sad to see #PrinceHarry whinging on front of #DailyTelegraph today. No loyalty whatever to his family or country.
If anyone knows Dr Peter Fellows, retired GP in Gloucestershire, please can you tell him his messenger account has been hacked?

@TVNaga01 were you giggling at the Union Flag? It is to be respected as a symbol of our nation. Apologies if I've misread the situation
@jkaffash Great that you got the last word with the PM and elicited praise for GPs from Prof Whitty and Uncle Boris. Keep up the good work

Due to the clear inability of our former American colonies to govern themselves, we should offer our services to sort them out. Let's start with Her Majesty as the apolitical head of state. It'd save all this fuss every 4 years

It's #DarwinAwards time for #GOP stalwarts in #MAGA delusional USA. Marching maskless together to #COVID19 doom. Is #CivilWar2 imminent?

@realDonaldTrump please don't think of moving to Scotland when you are dragged kicking and screaming from the #WhiteHouse Scotland needs no more narcissistic and untruthful politicians
@virginmedia trying to sort broadband problems. Eventually spoke to a human being but call broken from their side 3 times, now on hold for 34 minutes on 4th attempt. They call it customer SERVICE!!!

Can #CQC show evidence of lives saved by their inspection of GP practices and account for the wasted #GP HOURS of preparation and appointments lost and patients thereby suffering! #continuityofcare
Really helpful customer service from @McAfee today. A lady in the Philippines spent half an hour sorting my duplicate accounts and nothing was too much trouble for her.

So proud of my son Cllr @TimSwinyard for being a finalist in the Covid Hero category of the Councillor Awards 2020. Well done Tim
