Not sure it's the lack of Dentists, more the British don't seem to care much for their dental hygiene.
Perhaps thats true. Though I can tell you that my ex dentist told me 4 years ago that I was now being switched to A) Monthly dentist subscription plus 60% increase in fees compared to NHS or B) No subscription but Double fees and appointment availability subject to availability & no guarantees. There has been ZERO NHS dentist availability for all *new patients for more than 5 years in Stoke on Trent; until last month when a new one opened up. *This means all children who reach 18, anyone who moves into the area & anyone whose dentist closes. As you would expect there was no reduction in N.I. contributions to compensate for this.
It absolutely is a lack of dentists, or more accurately NHS dentists. There are currently no dentists in Herefordshire and Worcestershire who are taking NHS patients meaning that in order to get any dentistry done Mrs Visor has to go private, as will I when I retire. Unfortunately not everyone can afford this or maybe they have other essentials to prioritise unless there is an issue that needs sorting.
t I was under a NHS dentist until they retired, the replacement was a poor provider, we switched as a family to private so our children could remain under NHS care. I've been private for around 5 years now, not on a subscription though I pay as and when treatment is required. I have a check up every 12 Months plus whatever treatment is required. As far as I'm aware my daughter and son are still treated within the NHS until such time as they move out the area.
today i have faffed around cleaning greasy bits on an e-bike in the pretence that i will put them back together and finish it today
Been to the Motorhome and Caravan show at the NEC, got some quotes for things i want doing to the van
Tried an 8 mile walk along the River Tees to see if my torn ligament was up to proper walking again. Answer would be no.... Here is a castle..
It was pretty good, i go every year There are two different shows each year, Motorhome and Caravan show in October, then here is the Caravan and Camping show in February I used to have a Caravan, but, now have a van, which I am doing a few bits to, but, it is not a full camper conversion
Fridge, water, gas hob, cupboards, bed, pop top roof My van is just a van, and will be staying as a van, but, i want a leisure battery, solar panel, electric hook up point, power sockets in the back, then getting it Insulated, sound proofed, and carpet lined Then, possibly having air suspension fitted
I’ve considered the leisure battery option with solar panels and inverter but really can’t justify the cost. Most of our trips include camp sites very often with hook up electricity. Times when off grid such as wild camping or festivals we use internal battery lamps for lighting and switch the fridge over to gas to keep the wine chilled.
We don't have EHU in/on the van at the moment, in do have an 1800w power bank with 200w solar panel to recharge if we need mains power, it also has 12V cigarette lighter socket, USB and USB-C sockets I am looking at solar to change a leisure battery, so i can fit some 12v power sockets in the rear of the van, and power some touch on/off interior lights, the solar panel, MPPT, 135Ah lithium leisure battery, and associated fitting kit, xamebin at just over £1800 fitted The air suspension is a wish list job, full 4 corner kit, with controllers, fitted, at £8500, whereas, i could simply fit some Progressive Springs on the rear, to stop the sag when fully loaded, at a cost of around £500
