I watched the Budget 2017 today hoping that the Chancellor would at least make my life a bit better. Over the next two weeks, I am working 20 days straight in the gig economy earning less than £10 per hour after expenses and tax thanks to the American invention called “Black Friday“. I have to…

Is Louth Hospital Closing? Of Course Not
Yes, you heard it first, Louth Hospital IS NOT CLOSING. (Well not at the moment anyway). Throughout Louth there is general apathy that Louth Hospital is going nowhere and its “business as usual” – even the leader of LCHS says so. He told Louth Town Council “nothing that he had seen”. Our local MP brands…
Delivering, Physio, Walking, Biking -now I am tired and dreaming of…
Delivering Following events of earlier this year, I never envisaged delivering parcels again but since then I have been busier than ever. Thanks to my immediate Field Manager, his manager and head office acknowledging what I was accused of didn’t happen – which for the record IS THE TRUTH. I was fitted up by certain…
Praise The Emergency Services Then Deny Them Extra Pay
So, recently Theresa May was praising the Emergency Services for their hard work. Labour suggests they should have a more than 1% pay increase – which is below inflation by the way. And what do the Tories do… Give £1.5bn to the DUP so there is no “magic money tree” to reward the Emergency Services…

That is called “Drivers Sunburn” and the Sunday Express has a brilliant article, and video here Whilst out yesterday, my car temperature reached a eye-popping…
What a varied week – beauty and the local hospital
Once again a rather random blog post but it summarises my week.. Beauty After previously meeting someone who used to live in the village where I grew up, she introduced me to a range of premium beauty products by Temple Spa. I tried some samples previously and can honestly say my skin improved all most…
Paracetamol and Flytipping-Both Involve Waste
An odd combination I know, but today’s topics deserve my opinion, as the first item will certainly cause controversy. Paracetamol – Well anything “Over The Counter” Really I read in the news today that in an effort to cut the costs of the NHS they are planning to reduce prescribing over the counter remedies, gluten…
Back at work out of necessity
As mentioned previously, I had an operation on my knee and was signed “off work” for 6 weeks to recover and enable my knee to heal properly. It’s just over 3 weeks and the bills are coming in, so I took the decision to start delivering parcels again, against the advice of my surgeon –…
