Probably daft enough to assume the next batch is coming when promised, forgetting the old adage "a bird in the hand"... Given that time really does seem to be the essence here, I hope this isn’t the case. My bubble neighbour was given the date for her second dose when she had the first. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do I, but haven't heard anyone say that they have actually physically got more than 800,000 doses of the Pfizer vaccine in their hot little hands. And, sadly, they have form...🥴 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I recall correctly, we had 800,000 doses delivered, enough for 400,000 people. I’m wondering how all the 500,000 are going to get their second dose, unless we’ve had another delivery of vaccines that I haven’t heard about Didn't they tell you another delivery is due early Jan?. I would write to your MP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a post yesterday? someone mentioned the vials hold 6 doses and because some people weren't turning up for their booked appointments😲(unbelievable!!) part vials were having to be discarded, and after seeing the mass London exodus Saturday evening as well, only proves that the great British public also have to shoulder a lot of the blame for this ongoing pandemic.

Avril I thought it was 350000 a few days ago and 500,000 yesterday I think I’m going to have to take notes from each briefing, at least it would take my mind off Boris Johnson’s hair. I think he brushes his hair with a balloon before each appearance 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete14 Posted December 22, 2020 #11210 Share Posted December 22, 2020 Don’t forget that in 10 days time, they won’t be able to blame the EU for their own ‘inconsistencies’. Or will they? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The surgery has had to cancel everyone they had booked in for this week... "This has happened to several other practices. We are so sorry to all our patients, and are as upset and disappointed as you are. This is something completely beyond our control. As soon as we have our confirmed delivery date we will be in touch. Thanks for your understanding during this difficult time." The same message is appearing across this area too. There is no vaccine, and GPs are getting a lot of unfair flak for the fiasco.

Or at the least when you go to get a new set, having the EU flag on your number is no longer an option. I think the sticker was £0.99p on Ebay. Just fits over the other one. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got my current passport about 2 years ago, the photo page was no longer laminated. The laminated page gave the whole document a bit more sturdiness than the one replaced it. What I do need to do though is put some tape over the European Union embossing on the cover! 😲 Fortunately my BiL's grown up children have been able to get Irish passports, to make work and travel easier for them in the future.

Never had an EU flag on my car in the first place and having done a limited straw poll (looking across at the other driveways) neither does anyone else here.

I haven't had any type of flag on any number plate of a car I've owned in the last 5 or 6 years. Certainly my current car, 3 years old, doesn't have one.
