My day has turned out worse than 55Degree's. Dyed some favourite trousers to restore the colour. Dye left in the drum seal etc even after following Dylon's instructions. So I followed their advice to put a cup of bleach in with detergent and do another empty wash. Result, masses of foam in the washi...

Absolutely. I don't recall an instance before when an actual diagnosis resulted in payment - it would be things like doing tests or giving lifestyle health advice on specific issues for specific age groups.

Nearly every week our local paper has letters from English tourists thanking our local NHS services and Aberystwyth hospital for the care they, or their relatives, received when taken ill on holiday in Ceredigion.

I often get [politely] called 'bach' by Welsh people, particularly older men, here, which means 'little'.

It's nice, have never had a problem being called 'love', or 'hen', 'duck' or whatever but it does rile some people as they think it patronising.

Isn't that what used to be called 'gardening leave' ?

Inflation figures for Sept. The rate of consumer price index inflation fell to 1.2% in September from 1.5% in August. The rate of retail price index inflation fell to 2.3% from 2.4%.
