... that I had my NHS dental check-up today. :)
Back before the system got overloaded with billions of illegal immigrants sucking up the service capacity and before Covid you used to get a check-up EVERY 6 months as part of the NHS dentistry contract. During Covid it just stopped or went to 15 months, now it's every 9 months. The NHS check-up used to include descaling at every visit. NOW they want you to see their "Dental Hygienist", which is a "private service" that costs c. £45 per go. What they don't tell you is that the £45 is split equally between the Hygienist and the "practice". ;) Ker-Ching!!
My good friend who was a dentist in the UK for over 35 years informs me that there is NO CLINICAL EVIDENCE to support treatment by a "dental hygienist" having any positive outcome on your dental health.

---and all the profits go to shareholders instead of being ploughed back into repairs, maintenance and upgrades. The country's population has risen considerably since the infrastructure was installed and the demand for fresh water and waste water treatment has gone up. Lack of investment to meet demands. And of course, we the customers don't want to pay any more.

Thanks for that!!!
I'll just tell my dentist that either she, personally, gives me a "jetwash" as she calls it, Or I'll just rely on my own machine!!

Don't know how I'll break this to W who generates plaque like there is no tomorrow. :(:(

Because they have abstraction licences which limit how much water they can take from rivers and underground. Water level has dropped and rivers anorl. Yer may have had rain burrits not as much as normal. The locks will be fillling less than normal. To protect drinking water supply they will ask yer to limit usage in case it continues like this.
