    A letter to my MP

    I take then that you don't have any like for like data, pre and post privatisation.

    A letter to my MP

    What example have you given? The numbers you just made up in a hypothetical example? The ONLY way you can prove your point is to post a link to data comparing survival rates for the SAME area pre and post privatisation, where the budget has remained unchanged. You can not compare England and...

    A letter to my MP

    ...because your reference point of a better outcome, comes from healthcare systems that costs more ...based on the link you posted. Or do you have some otherwise undisclosed data that shows a privatised service in the UK has been saving more people for the same money?

    A letter to my MP

    Erm, now I’m not sure whether you’re joking or not? ...because your premise of outcomes for a given expenditure is not based on the same expenditure and is therefore, at best, flawed ...even the article you linked to relates the poorer outcomes in the UK, to the UK spending less on healthcare...

    Lifetime cost. I don’t know how old you are, but get a quote for full cover, including drugs, aftercare, cancer cover including chemo, and so on, but put your age a 70, and add a pre-existing condition, say a heart attack or prostate cancer, and I think you’ll find things very different.

    A letter to my MP

    Nice idea, however completely flawed. I don’t know if you have any experience of outsourcing, but it works on the principal of economy of scale. The NHS is the 5th largest organisation on the planet, so if anyone, like Richard Branson for instance, tells you that breaking up services to be...

    A letter to my MP

    So, quick question, for a given service with equal funding provided by a NHS trust or a profit making private healthcare company, which spends more money on treating patients?

    Couple of WYeast Activator

    Indeed, they’re local to me and have a sales counter so no problem ...BUT I’ve just found out they’re closing the sale counter and there’s no click and collect, so they’ve lost my business and I now have no LHBS :thumbd:

    disheartened

    Maybe if you list your process those that know a lot more than me might be able to help. ...so recipe, mash temp/time, boil time, hop additions, pitch temp, OG, how long in FV, FG, conditioning time, etc... ...also, is this all from the same batch of grain?

    ...will do. I’ve got a couple of jars, one for starters and one to bump up the OG of a RIS I’m planning.

    ESB v3

    Mmm... very interesting reading. My ESB clone finished a few days ago and I’ve just racked it into a secondary FV for a weeks cold conditioning before bottling...FG = 1.011 (the recipe/instructions reckoned 1.014). I mashed at 65 but always loose a bit and add some heat to bring it back up...

    How to build a stir plate for less than ten quid

    If batteries are a bit of a bind, and you don’t have a 12v charger, these fans will also run off a 9v charger...

    How to scrat apples?

    If building something is out of the question, I have seen vids of people using a garden shredder.

    Need a name for my new micropub/brewery

    To encourage more female patrons you could always call it ‘The Lady Garden’ ?

    Need a name for my new micropub/brewery

    Why not just call it ‘Pub’ but use a poncy font, and maybe an umlaut over the ü, and maybe all caps ...so ‘PÜB’.
