Googling for episode running order for "Digging for Britain" was a bit unfortunate...who put that vowel next to the "i"....My story and I'm sticking to it, but suspect there's been a few armchair archaeologists had a bit of an eye opener...

I guess it being filmed in the area it is, you’re familiar with the locations of these spots! Could have used you as an ‘extra’?!

If you subscribe to the post code lottery I hope you are aware they have donated £15 million to these two 'charities', friends of the earth and Greenpeace alongside some other questionable 'charities and causes'.

Perhaps BWFC could apply for acceptance as a charity? :)

What's wrong with those two charities?

Anyone know what the rough post op recovery is for a detached hernia? A work colleague has one and I’m covering extra hours til they return. Just wondering how many weeks it is likely to be!

I hope she does! 2 and 3/4 hours work and over half hour of that is a paid lunch break with a free meal!

I think they said six weeks when I had it done, but I was back to normal after about a fortnight. Just no heavy lifting etc...

Just had my Covid booster from a very nice (non medically trained!) soldier which I was surprised at, though I had read that the army would be helping out. Anyway, I digress, have many people had bad symptoms after their Covid boosters?! I was fine for the first two but lots of friends have been taken out by the booster it would seem. I need to know if I am going to be genuinely ill or whether I need to fake it for a day in bed whilst Mr GG charges round after the kids!
Me and wife have both ad two injections plus a booster and a flu-jab. Now she's bought a "lateral flow" test kit, whatever that is. Cotton buds up the nostrils etc. Anyway, both came out negative, so...onwards.. :)

Hernia or retina? 🤔

Depends a bit on the op and how it went and how bad it was. I’d say a month maybe 5 weeks would be normal. It’s one where for a few weeks after you usually have to lie face down for most of the time to allow the retina to full reattach and I doubt many jobs are compatible with this.
