What is the BBC doing with Wimbledon sound on BBC1? BBC2 ok BBC 1 loud background noise constantly. #bbcsport

Congratulations @ERowland_Barts on your OBE - wow! Well deserved. Sadly, I can remember you as an SR at the Brompton. We anaesthetists (I was research reg at the time) joked that your ECG machine required trees to be put in at one end to produce the reams of ECG paper!

@DHSCgovuk Market forces…. I thought the Tories liked that sort of thing. (btw I hate the fact that my taxes are paying for these second rate comms from a government dept who should be bloody negotiating. Sort it out FFS)

Things have deteriorated so much that the average American now has the same healthy life expectancy (years lived in good health) as someone in Blackpool, the town with England’s lowest life expectancy (by far), synonymous with deep-rooted social decline https://t.co/jicW0G4Uz4

2) It’s actually worse than that chart made out, because at most points on the income distribution, Americans earn much more than Brits.

If we plot the same data by actual income instead of percentile, the US deficit is vast.

5 fewer years even among the comfortably-off.

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

NEW: I’m not sure people fully appreciate how dire the US life expectancy / mortality situation has got.

And some utterly damning charts.

1) at *every* point on the income distribution, Americans live shorter lives than the English.

#Easyjetlies at Gatwick

If you check-in a #bike box at #LGW it will be assumed that it weighs 31kg and so the EasyJet promise of pooled weight allowance is a #Lie. Charged xtra £36 - bike box weighed 23kg at oversize dropoff after.

[David Hunter @DrDavidHunter99]

Easyjet:
You can pool the total weight allowances for your sports equipment and hold luggage, as long as no single item weighs more than 32kg.
(For example: If you have a total weight allowance of 52kg you could bring hold luggage weighing 31kg and sports equipment weighing 21kg)

@mrjamesob Yes, the benefits of Brexit.

They need us more than we need them … we hold all the cards …

OMG - just had the most appalling PDI/handover of my life of my iXM50 at Partridge BMW. £114k for a filthy car and an app that doesn't work!

@BillFawcett Impressive - you should be proud @BillFawcett ! Strangely my daughter is also in Southampton as an ICU fellow from tomorrow having done her FY years there. Hope you are well; shouldn't you have retired by now?
