Four Slices Of Ham, A Toilet Roll And Can You Look At This Rash...
Supermarkets and other private firms are being invited to bid to run GP surgeries as part of a drive to improve access to care in deprived areas.
However...
I wouldn't want to be stood in the middle of Tesco's discussing my many and various embarrassing complaints. Can you imagine it? Take your trousers off, oh just put them on top of the beans.
Surely the bit that is difficult to find in these situations is the doctor and not the surgery. My old GP practised out of a portacabin for ten years until he had a surgery built.
Sorry if this isn't up to the usual standard but I am suffering from the dreaded man flu; just nipping to Asda.

That's why there's Asda and Tesco silly.

Yes, but it makes life extremely bland. I thought variety was the spice of life, not conformity.

Their 'Basics' range is as cheap as anyone else's. 70p for 36 Weetabix type thingies.

since when was Sainsburys cheap?
revrobuk (20-03-2007 21:41:40)
I know that, that is my point. People won't pay the premium to use local shops. They'd rather go to Sainsburys and get a better range of stuff at a cheaper price. God forbid I should sound thatcherite but that's the market for you.

The shops go because they are forced out of business by the agressive pricing of the supermarkets, who use their buying power to undercut the smaller shopkeeper to a degree they cannot hope to match.
revrobuk (20-03-2007 19:07:24)
But the shops only go because people don't use them.
