Keith, it's a Samsung S7 but it's set on their Pro Mode so i could do a little more than just a snap

I agree with Keith, it's a very good photo of the cricket, the way phones have developed over the years is marvellous. I don't really take that many photos but I'm more inclined to have my phone with me charged up than I am my camera.

I know about your NHS, but I had no idea that even even surgery is completely free. Thanks for educating me.

Here in Wales even the Prescription Charges that the English have to pay are waived, amazingly our devolved Government has also abolished parking charges in Hospital car parks, which is actually an issue as where the hospitals are close to city centres this is abused, our local hospital have got around this issue by making all sites "Blue Badge disabled " and gated emergency parking only

Thanks that just reminded me that while I was away last week I had an email that my annual prescription prepayment had expired, I'm just renewing now £104 which seems a bargain (unless you are in Scotland or Wales and get everything free )

Nothing is free - it is paid out of our National Insurance of course, but we get operations totally free but the waiting list can be very long e.g. for a knee replacement but for major things like heart operations, it is pretty good.

I do not know what the English charge for prescription is per item but I know it would cost me a fortune - I'm on a basic 15 Medications per day (some more than once a day), and others as needed during exacerbations and I know that the one inhaler alone costs the NHS £60 + for 28 doses (one daily in my case).

Edit

It's officially £8.80 per item, so my collection yesterday would have cost me £132 - I know it's unlikely that I would be charged for everything at full price, but I think I'll stay in Wales

£8.80 per item or you can do as I do and pay £104 for the year for as much as you need.
