It's Only Fair, Isn't It?

[allenlondon]

Mrs A (70s, congestive heart failure, weak) has developed lumps in her side and abdomen.

Ok, says GP, we'll send you for an ultrasound scan. We get letter from local (private) clinic. She phones up, they say "Oh, next appointment is November 13th."

Next day she phones again and says she's a private self-funding patient, and asks when the next appointment is. "Tomorrow." Which is only fair, isn't it? People who've worked hard for their money should be able to get proper service.

My Jim Royle.

(And yes, before the intellectual skinheads roar their disapproval, we're going private. We don't spend it on booze/meat/gambling/holidays/cars/etc, so we'll buy her some time instead).

Allan, sometimes it’s best to leave this type of nasty post .

It would appear that Allan sees abandoning this thread as some sort of 'victory' for people he perceives as his enemies.

It doesn't, and they're not, but that's for him to realise - or not.

[anneasquith]

Why don’t you leave it Andy ?

[andy-hughes]

Anne - why don't you?

[anneasquith]

As you well know , I’ve hardly been on the post and certainly not trading insults. But I’ll stop now in case I get reported for ........ something .

Another beautiful day in the AB neighbourhood.

I haven't traded insults with anyone, perhaps you need to re-read what has been said, and by whom - paying attention to Allen's posts to me in particular - before drawing incorrect inferences.

[Mozz71]

Andy, Anne hasn't accused you on insulting anyone, and all she has been doing is trying to stop the infighting. Picking on her is beneath you, and not showing you in a good light.

[andy-hughes]

Mozz, I am not picking on anyone, in the same way I am not trading insults.

Anne's implication was clear, and I responded to it, that is not 'picking' and I think you know that.

Allan, Allan...who the *** is Allan?

[Mozz71]

Fair enough, do whatever the heck you want. Trying to talk rationally to you is as much good as trying to turn Theland into an atheist.I

Gone.

[Mamyalynne]

This is about as pathetic as it gets.

[andy-hughes]

Mamya, you are neither compelled to read, or to post if the thread does not meet your standards.

[Mamyalynne]

What an example to set to potential new members though.

Also gone.

[andy-hughes]

Personally I am not in the business of setting examples.

[Mamyalynne]

That's evident.

I wish Mrs A well, and hope she recovers.

// We don't spend it on booze/meat/gambling/holidays/cars/etc, so we'll buy her some time instead //

Time to do what?

Disgraceful behaviour/attitudes by a moderator on this thread - he should have this privilege stripped

[Jackdaw33]

If a-h was half as good at his moderator's job as he claims to be he would have consigned this thread to the dustbin over 100 posts ago.
