    We live quite close to a hospital with A&E (and a helipad). If it took ten minutes, that would be because they were driving slowly. :) But, the local health board are proposing to close it. The replacement has not yet been decided - not the location nor anything else. Just that this is the...

    Companies House is another organisation that needs a shake up. One example. Say Old Groaner were a director of a company.
