The truth is, I would like to live (some of the time) in Berlin; Germany has more than I can hope to understand to understand about it. Now their health service has turned up trumps, absolute trumps, as well.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956830097495837473.post-24206463278783407902009-11-05T12:07:08.488+00:002009-11-05T12:07:08.488+00:00very nice post.

And you have given chapter and verse...S, you have. And you have given chapter and verse. I still hope to keep the very worst of New Labour from taking anything from my family though. And I thought it worth saying things about what has been going on for the last dozen years, as I understand it. <br /><br />What is being done in England is not happening on the continent. Countries are not in debt like England. The surveillance state is not present. The standard of living is much higher. The education and,to a lesser extent, health services are not failing. (I was in the Charite last Saturday evening - not my first choice of Saturday venues, but if I'm going to need any kind of emergency health treatment I would like to be carried to Berlin. At 7.15 pm in an apotheke near the Tiergarten it was explained that the medicines asked for in the prescription were not used in Germany and the chemist would prefer a doctor to prescribe a substitute; he wrote out instructions for the taxi driver on where to take me. The taxi delivered us to the door and the triage nurse repeated the chemist's opinion that a doctor was needed to prescribe a substitute. 'Wait, there.' So we did. Ten minutes later a charming chap arrived, shook hands, explained that because of dangerousness, insufficient testing, or obsolescence certain medicines were not offered in Germany; he had prescribed a satisfactory substitute. Yes we did need to get it now and take it as directed. The nearest 24 hour was at the Hauptbahnhof, here were directions too for the taxi. Of course there was no charge. Greetings to his colleagues in Florenz. Good evening. By 9.15 we were sitting down for dinner (delicious) in the dining room of the Einstein on the Unter den Linden, patient all medicked up, having gone from the hotel to the first chemist to the Charite to the second chemist, for a stroll past the Chancellery and the Reichstag, to dinner in under 2 hours. I'd not have liked to try the same thing in central London in German on a Saturday night.) This is just a small example of how England is in a bad place, put there by New Labour. The rest of Europe is not. But England, at the moment, could be the source of a nasty infection. If it wants to leave Europe, fine. If it wants to stay in, and effectively it must, it needs to clean up its OWN act, not be bitter towards other member states that function very well indeed.hatfield girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12673905475452420002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2956830097495837473.post-79352241273512647482009-11-03T19:32:31.023+00:002009-11-03T19:32:31.023+00:00We are, in effect, stuffed, and I think I've t...We are, in effect, stuffed, and I think I've told you so.
