Re: medical for renewing a driving licence

I think that Trev is right 1 month max, if you do it before that they renew your license sooner. If you are over 73 you will also need an Eye test you will get a referral from your PD although I believe some PDs do it themselves.

Re: Happy St George's Day

Saint George's Day is usually celebrated on 23 April, the traditionally accepted date of the saint's death in the Diocletianic Persecution. However Saint's days are not observed if they fall between Palm Sunday and the second Sunday of Easter, they will then be celebrated the following Monday.

Re: Happy St George's Day

Of course , this year, it is not St George's Day till Monday. Something to do with the timing of Easter, but if you are not celebrating it doesn't matter.

Ye are a factious crew,...

Re: LPG Heating

I believe that you have to use the Company that supplied the tank, and like Trev I think that they own it. I use Eko Gas [ used to be Blue Circle ] and Mario is in our area every Wednesday [ every second Wednesday in the Winter ] as for the rest of your questions I am afraid it very much depends on ...

Re: GESY payments somebody will know ?

According to one of the Pharmacies that we go to pointed out that if the medication that you get is not the generic one then there is a cost to pay even if you have reached your € 150 limit. My wife gets some pretty expensive medication so we have to pay a contribution, not the full cost. To be hone...

Re: Pool leak

Try the Bucket test if you have steps in the pool. Place a bucket on one of the steps fill it to the same level as the pool and if the pool goes down quicker than the bucket you have a leak. Probably one of the skimmers I too use Poolfix and have done for years.
