Is the clamp an 'official' council/highways/police one with sticky notice on the windscreen/window?
If just a clamp....... perhaps it is the valet companys wheeze to cover their anti social behaviour???

Today I came to a T junction with quite poor visibility so you have to crawl up to it and look both ways very carefully, which I did. To my left there was a young guy coming on a pushbike and he was riding in the the way many do, badly. He was swerving about down the middle of the road with no hands on the handlebars. It's so common it's almost the norm here so I didn't give it much thought and I sat to wait until he passed but then.... He raised a hand and gestured for me to pull out. That was very unexpected and I don't think any cyclist has ever done that for me before.

And the one thing, polite though his gesture seems, is to not rely on other road users instructions......if disaster happens "you" would be the one at fault.Today I came to a T junction with quite poor visibility so you have to crawl up to it and look both ways very carefully, which I did.

Oh yes. I'm well aware. He was the only traffic. He did have right of way and this is something that I and others do all the time but a young man on a bike? I honestly can't think of another time a cyclist has given way and let me out.

How much David, if you don’t mind me asking?Walking into my dentist to book an oral hygienist appointment, expecting it to be in a few weeks time to be told "it's you lucky day!".
And 30 min later teeth all sparkly
Not so cheering was the cost

Oddly enough, I only go to the dentist if I have a problem.
Dividing my bills by the number of years between visits comes to roughly £10 per annum. I do have a powered tooth bush, used twice a day, and use a mouthwash after each clean. Of course, mileage may vary...

Until recently my NHS dentist did the hygienist job as part of the annual check up but now he insist that I have to have a separate appointment with their hygienist (his wife) for which I paid £75. It is only expected to be annual like the check up.

I'm sure you are supposed to use mouthwash before the clean?

Floss, brush then Interdental brushes then leave as mouthwashes wash away the fluoride in the toothpaste, use mouthwash after meals, lunch/ diner.I was told "after" but who can tell?
It's like egg ends and we know where that went...

That's what I do and have been told by my dentist. I do a mouthwash before brushing etc as well though, just as a palate cleanser! lol Speaking of interdental brushes, brilliant things.

WCMUT? (Well yesterday actually).
I am stage 5 chronic kidney disease, due to go onto dialysis soon, but have beenn held off the transplant list due to potential complications with my liver. I also suffer heamatomachrosis, where my blood develops too much iron, and they thought that i potentially had cancer.
I received a letter from the hospital regarding the blood tests and ultra sound scans on my liver. Turns out my liver is functioning as it should, and there were no sign of the protiens that the cancer generates in my blood. I will have treatment the heamatomachrosis, but it now looks like I can go on the transplant list. Happy days....

£68. I've looked at dental surgeries here and, it's £68-75. £98 if it's more than routine. Plus the floss they try to sell...lol. I use the orange plastic/wire 'sticks' to get any bits out that don't move with a toothbrush. Dental care is expensive but necessary.A rather ouch laden £75, I leave it for a year rather than the recommended 6 months
This is in London/Hertfordshire - would be interesting to see what people are paying elsewhere?
