@historyinmemes But if you make it easier to kill people, well then it is easier to kill surely?

@sainsburys @sainsburys I'm sure you're aware that ingestion is potentially fatal. I'm not sure you've really taken this information as seriously as it deserves.

[Jacob Brown @drjakebrown]

Dear @sainsburys I just found a button-battery in a spoonful of your own-brand muesli. This is rather concerning, what is the best way to report it please? Your "contact us" page directed me here.

In 1150, two small children with green skin allegedly appeared on the outskirts of the English village of Woolpit.

There, the young boy and girl were found crawling out of a pit meant for catching wolves.

According to at least two historical accounts, they were clad in strange clothing, appeared to speak only gibberish, and seemed repulsed by most food.

Eventually, they discovered some green beans growing outside and gobbled them up, and after they gradually started to eat the other food that the villagers offered them, they began to lose their greenish hue.

Though the boy later died of a mysterious illness, the girl lived long enough to learn how to speak English — and told the villagers that she and the boy had come from a distant land called St. Martin where the sun didn't shine and the people lived in perpetual twilight.

Junior doctors, who are members of the BMA & HSCA, are striking from 7am today until 11:59pm on Wednesday 28 February. We anticipate our hospitals will be very busy & are asking people to help us help you, by choosing the right service for your needs. ▶️https://t.co/UiHLTQklvs

[Hampshire Hospitals @HHFTnhs]

Due to sustained pressures at our Basingstoke & Winchester hospitals, we have declared a critical incident. This decision has not been taken lightly; however, beds across both hospitals are full & attendance at our emergency departments is extremely high.

[Hampshire Hospitals @HHFTnhs]

It's important that we all know how we can take simple steps to take care of ourselves and loved ones at home, and medicine can play a role in that!

Here is some advice from Jacob, one of our emergency department consultants ⬇️
