Posted on 12. Dec, 2011 by Shandy.
Very rarely do you end up speaking to complete strangers on the tube let alone having a spontaneous book club. However, this is exactly what happened to me last week.

Our NHS, our thoughts
Posted on 03. Nov, 2011 by chiantichiara.
It has been in the news almost since the day the coalition came into power, but despite the best and very vocal efforts of particular politicians, certain members of the Lords, particular factions of the larger professional bodies and the “Block the Bill” campaigners, the Health and Social Care Bill seems, finally, to be happening.
