The problem with this whole hospital parking thing is that a great many of our hospitals are trusts or the parking is controlled by the council. I'm not sure how government could do anything about it but pay the trusts or the councils the money that they would lose, and it wouldn't help the other issue, and that's that when they were free you couldn't get a parking spot in many hospitals because commuters would use them as free parking while they were at work or shopping, so they were always full from 8:30-5:30.

The practical and sensible solution is to make sure there are enough bus routes. But I can tell you from experience that that won't work, because I worked in a hospital with an incredibly good bus service linked to every corner of the city, and people still couldn't bare to leave their precious cars at home.

Park up, go into the hospital, tell them who you're visiting/why you're there at reception and get your parking validated for the day.

Do you know how big even a average sized NHS hospital car park is or just how many people use them a day? Holy poo poo, you would be queuing for an hour for one of the big multi story car parks in Sheffield. That's without going into the fact that a lot of hospitals have automated receptions with one or two real people on the counters. Putting in more reception desks would mean re-renovating (at about 1 million a pop) all those lobby areas that just got converted into automated systems. The obvious come back would be to get it stamped on the wards, but then you would have people queuing on the wards at visiting time. Plus there would be the monumental cost of having everything linked up to some sort of internal parking validation system.

Cool then making the parking free for everyone is the best solution and still makes more sense than charging.

When I was in A&E a few weeks ago I got insanely lucky. I was seen within an hour, then when I had to be kept in for observation (until 3.30am before being turfed onto the streets but that's a different story) the waiting time just crept up and up. People who got there shortly after me were still there well into the night.

What is so wrong about fox hunts anyway?

Is it just some kind of tantrum to spite the rich / traditional people who like to do it?

Those big countryside fox hunts with all the dogs and all the people in their red coats and stuff, it's a staple of what it means to be British.

That country life stuff is probably the last thing Britain has going for it.

Yeah alright.

I have a feeling there's one big twist still left in this campaign. It's been pretty uneventful compared to the last few years of elections, and the fates have a nasty sense of humour - I think they've saved the best for last. My money's on Boris making a pass at Ivanka Trump.

May shagged Little D when she was in the US. Their hand holding was just the bittersweet end of a whirlwind romance.

People aren't really crammed together at pop concerts these days, plus the lobby is open for parents collecting children so you don't need to pay to get in there.

Whoever this guy was he was a nutter who had planned his poo poo really well, right down to killing the people Islamic extremists hate most, young women with the freedom to attend public gatherings. It remains to be seen if he was an Islamic extremist or somone who wanted everyone to think he was one.

Me and my girlfriend used to semi-regularly get pasties from a pastie place in cirencester when we started going out. They did some really nice, fat chips, too. Only two places do good chips, the place in ciren and the chippie near my mum's house. Everywhere else I go is either soggy, too thin, or not crisp enough.

The whole point of getting chips in places like that is that they're soggy as gently caress.
