Earlier, Mrs G said to me she was going out in the car and wouldn't be long. Well, I know from past experience that " I won't be long" means anything from 1 hour to 4 hours. I think it is a woman thing when time is rather vague.

Isn;t that just similar to a bloke going to teh pub for "a swift half"
or a cyclist going out for a short ride??
 
Cheers . We talked to the Union rep that went in with her. As soon as Sam receives the official notification, the rep will begin the appeal.
TBH I am not feeling positive as they seemed to have ignored/dismissed all the mitigation, the initial incident, her autism, her remorse and apology plus her going out of her way to find counselling to help her manage her problems . ☹️
There was me thinking the NHS was a caring employer.

In theory they are - they can point to all the policies and all that

however, my wife's experience would suggest that some managers "havn;t got the email" and try to sweep stuff under the carpet
or deal with it themselves so they don;t look bad to their bosses

not made better by the fact - for many years - that if someone leaves or moves from their department then they are not replaced so the whole department just ends up with the work and one less person
and then the manager gets it in the neck when they start to fail
 
Now - you will (may) remember that the doc has told me I need to go on a gluten free diet

and I will have an appointment with a dietician

well - I now have a date for the appointment

17th April!!

FFS - I mean , I am a reasonably intelligent person (shut up at the back there!) and am reasonably able to work out the basics myself

but if I need to go on this diet the having some professional help and advise might be useful in less than 6 months time!

if some of the stuff on the WWW (reddit etc) is to be believed then if I ingest a single crumb of bread THEN I WILL DIE!!!
and some people would belive that sort of extreme carp

I will just avoid teh obvious stuff and see how it goes

Oh - and when I contacted the GP the response was that I am still under the hospital for this so I need ot go to them for help

I am not going to be happy in 6 months if I find I am doing it all wrong and have potentially caused damage because of the lack of advise!!!

anyway - I'll stop whinging now!

I have just spent two and half hours on a video call to an ex-girlfriend we were ten at the time, I have seen her once since then when she came onto one of my car sites in 1984, she said I was a bit stand offish then, no I was not she was a fluffy blond air stewardess and I was married. A really lovely catchup, though, talking about old school pals, It was the best evening I have had in a very long time.
