minor things that make you fume

People who say they like Jazz, and then state that their favourite is Acker Bilk!

Was just reminded of this lol Probably only a certain age group would remember the reference.



Fume things? Builders Butts. Guy came round to sweep the chimney and within seconds could practically see what he had for breakfast. I mean he must feel a breeze. He could have been flirting mind you.

Just had to use the emergency vet for one of me dogs.
First question on the phone wasn’t ‘what’s wrong ?’
It was ‘have you got insurance ?’

MediVet by any chance? They took over a good vets in Prescot a few years back and went from being an excellent independent with experienced vets to freshly qualified young vets asking about insurance before symptoms and trying to upsell various scans and tests.

Going for a consult about having our dog put down today (increasingly severe Degenerative Myelopathy) and she's the last one I'll ever have. Partly 'cos it's crap letting go but also due to all the good vets being swallowed up by chains who prioritise flogging insurance and health plans for your pet as a priority over treatment.

I swear it the prevalence of insurance that allows vets fees to be so high. Which of course makes insurance almost compulsory.

We went with a company recommended by a vet who promised the same fee for life £20 a month. Of course that was just the life of the promise, not the dog's life. He had a skin condition that required regular medication. Of course there was a yearly excess imposed which just about covered the cost of the yearly medication.

The fee for life had just about doubled by the time the dog fell off his perch and we were paying 3 x £180 yearly excesses fir his three separate but related conditions. Only in the uk where people go doolally for pets could this protection racket exist. Of course if you don't haemmorage money the national mindset is you must be an uncaring monster. Utter scam.

For this reason we're never having pets in the UK again.

Treatment from about 2am until we had to pick her up and take her to our normal vet when it opened at 8am cost us £1200.
Treatment from 8am until we had to have her put to sleep at 2pm was another £1100.
When I looked at the medication given, it was just routine gear.
Absolute bloody racket it is.
And when your upset, feeling totally mugged off isn’t nice at all.

There are so many of these institutionalised racket all over the UK like a rash. Its about time we had a government willing to stamp some regulation on British "service" industry and business who routinely rip off the public.
