Opinion: Maintaining happy status quo between generations of car DIYers
Opinion Motoring editor Andy Russell still has his box of basic tools and bits from 40 years ago for fixing issues on his car. Picture: Andy Russell Andy russell A special find while spring cleaning the garage brought back happy car maintenance memories for motoring editor Andy Russell. Regular readers may recall I recently gave the garage a spring clean, tidying the trash and clearing the clutter. It still looks pristine although I’m having trouble finding things that are no longer where I usually leave them! What I did find though was a small metal box, stamped with W and D and a broad arrow signifying War Department, which was key to launching me on the road to freedom.

OPINION: Are there enough beds in our NHS?
Opinion Generic stock photo of a nurse on a ward. Photo: Rui Vieira/PA Wire Archant It’s been another tumultuous week for the region’s mental health trust, as over the border in Suffolk there was an announcement that inpatient beds would be closed on Lark ward, at Ipswich Hospital. There is a lot of talk in health at the moment about keeping people out of hospital, in the community. This isn’t only in mental health care - in an interview with the boss of Norfolk’s new drug and alcohol service published in this newspaper today, she points towards more community care. And over recent years hospitals have reduced their bed numbers as research showed patients recovered better at home with the right care and support in place. But then what happens when someone does need a bed and there are none available? We’ve seen this happen with tragic consequences in the past, and just last week a stroke patient from Northrepps was asked to move to a day room so … [Read more...] about OPINION: Are there enough beds in our NHS?
