The NHS and Care sectors must work hand in hand!

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-37409363 When you watch this video clip from the BBC's brilliant Alison Holt, it makes clear how much we need to lobby politicians about social care and health care. The two go hand in hand when it comes to elderly and adult social care. With this in mind, perhaps we could keep asking the politicians, keep hassling them, keep pointing this out, keep on keeping on. Because when we do, we encourage them to address the issue rather than run away from it.

The biscuit debate

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-38223242 Are we starting to eat healthier? Or is this reported drop in traditional biscuit sales an indication that we are starting to eat other things? The sale of flavoured popcorn is up. There are brightly coloured doughnuts, different types of cake around and I have noticed the chocolate biscuit section in supermarkets is often more stocked and offer more choice than the traditional section. I for one, will continue to eat custard creams and jammie dodgers. Okay, they remind you of nostalgic times but at least I would rather eat a few of these instead of a greasy box of chicken wings with artificial content and chips made of something which resembled a potato many moons ago.
