O/T. Sunak...third time lucky, or Mission Impossible?

[Geoff Parkstone]

Apologies RS...certainly wasn’t meant to be ‘patronising’ and I’m not sure how you’d think that. It certainly wasn’t my intention.
Neither am I sure how you can say ‘most will be impacted a tiny bit’.
Would have thought that the impact of last month’s ‘mini budget’ would have disproved that myth...look, for example, at the effect that has, or will have, on mortgages.
I’m glad you think he’ll ‘do fine’ and hope you’re right, but for those reliant on services that are likely to be cut still further, for those already struggling with the cost of living crisis, for (perhaps younger) folk with mortgages, for those on benefits, and for those on hospital waiting lists I’d suggest you may be being a tad over optimistic.

P.S. You got a bad hip, GP? Don’t think you’ve mentioned it before.

Yup - arthritic and deteriorating. Probably need to visit sawbones in next 12 months, can only go a few hundred yards before pain cuts in... thanks for caring 😄

That’s okay. I’m sure most of the over sixties on here have a few ailments to moan about, we just don’t mention them at every opportunity.
Anyway, at least you can get something done about it, and if it’s any consolation...my late father had a hip replacement back in the seventies.
Made a new man of him and I imagine things have progressed hugely since then so your prognosis seems, hopefully, pretty good.
Hopefully too the waiting lists will diminish soon...then again maybe not... but I’d guess you could go ‘private’.
