    Brexit, for once some facts.

    Over the past ten or more years, I have been encouraging people to file Yellow Card reports for all adverse events following medicines of all types. It is my non-scientific, non-statistically verified, feeling that we are not seeing more making such reports. I'm quite certain that in the past...

    Have to say, I'm more concerned by food and fuel than clothing and furniture! Today, a pot of some dessert which not very long ago was about 50p, last week was 70p, today up to 89p. Not in itself an important product. But the prices just happened to register.

    But the Covid vaccines have been given to many who might well have been missed in previous vaccination campaigns. And I have my doubts how many would previously have been asked "Have you recently had a vaccination?" after going into A&E (or ER) with a slip/fall injury. Now they might be asked...

    I am very suspicious of some of the claims - such as the 680% increase in multiple sclerosis. Typical first suspicious signs to diagnosis can be two years - or longer.

    That is dumb - you are suggesting she is capable of having ideas? She has said that Sunak led a coup. In which case, how come the tories could allow him not to be put in gaol? And he continues to have the Tory whip.

    I used to bake one loaf, then a second but, in order to reduce fuel usage, I bake both together which has forced some changes to approach. But £2.10 is more than I pay for two loaves - and mine are more than 400g (maybe 600?).

    Everything in the supermarkets has shot up! And, of course, though I make my own bread, and currently have plenty of flour, the cost of baking has also shot up.

    Petrol prices are really silly now. 170.9 to 189.9 within sensible area. Even Tesco is 175.9 at Milford Haven and 189.9 in Haverfordwest - in other times they are usually the same. 19p a litre is a big difference.

    From where it has reached right now, the best result would be if both contenders collapsed and withdrew. And there really had to be a GE. (Definitely not allowing it to be an excuse for Johnson to withdraw resignation.)

    I was also wondering what effect HS2 has on how much it would cost to buy the railways. I'm rather lost off with who is paying how much to whom, who owns what, etc.

    There was much questioning of the idea when it was first put forward. But I think someone pointed out they don't need to provide full standard GPS - the idea is that they only need to provide whatever is needed to enhance accuracy. (And also, possibly, do something useful to ensure independence...
