I can't either. May be if the 80 quid was going the other way(to
me), but then again, thanks, but no, thanks.
Come to think of it, why is the need for such "comprehensiveness"?
Most of us enter "snotty" and "tired all the time" most of the time.
Main morbidities and more are well catered for in IPCS, for example
(Armando: I've become a convert!).
Isn't it time we stood up for ourselves? Or is it a matter of few
million quid going into someone's pension fund (allegedly).
