What is hacking you off today?

That's an eye wateringly high cost!

Eye see what you did there

Specsavers referred me to Chelmsford private eye clinic on the NHS system, with the first visit for examination to the second visit for the actual operation was about 3 months, maybe that’s an option.

That's exactly the same time duration my partner was told at Southend Hosp a week ago, when she went for the pre examination

The disparity in NHS waiting times quoted is frightening.

Possibly due to a cancellation, but she got a call from them this morning offering an appt before Christmas!.

The eye unit at Southend is, imo, very good but very busy. They also take emergency referals and will do their best with "walk ins". The main issues with them are how surprisingly they get "no shows" and the phone system, like most of SUH is not much better than carrier pidgeon quality.

Good news Tony, the sooner it's done the sooner the sight improves, it's a no brainer.

Jaguar cars. What have they done? They've wiped out their history and identity, and ignored their usual target car buyers. Their new woke design team could spell the end of Jaguar. The minimalist interior, oh dear. And yes, that is a brass bar going down the middle of the car, and is also on the doors. No back window or mirrors by the way. That grey section next to the seat is stone. These E.V.s are expected to be priced at just under £100,000, but with usual add-ons, will be over £100,000. Good luck with that Jaguar.

Are you a snowflake about everything, or just things that upset your sensitive soul?

I've never been called a snowflake before, Lol. No, I just have an opinion on all sorts of topics. This is what forums are for, aren't they? So over 17,000 posts on this thread on what's hacking people off, and you've singled out one person? Others are posting on this thread almost every week, and you've not said a word.

Graham James (school in Corringham) issued an email yesterday saying they are having to close for the rest of the week due to water issues. Turns out they have no hot water from their taps due to their boiler not quite functioning correctly. Still has heating, just no hot water.

My KS1 children will therefore be learning some CASS regulations, liquidity management and a sprinkling of ETL developer coding for their home schooling.

They had to try something, they were dying as a company.

Bet the actual car looks nothing like that when it's actually released, concept cars rarely do.

I do dislike the new logo though, the mix of upper and lower case letters really irks me.

I would love to know what is specifically 'woke' about the new design. Perhaps someone could enlighten me.

That looks atrocious. As you say, it’s not a Jag, it’s something Parker would drive Lady Penelope around in.

To be fair, any 'wokeness' though I hate the phrase, is mainly being directed at the actual advert. I don't really see how a car design can be woke. I need to stop saying woke.

Woke.

Funny enough, it's amazing how the Land Rover car almost died, and then rose again to be seen as a more cool and sought after car.

If you read it again, I said their new woke design team could spell the end of Jaguar. Where did I say the design was woke? They called themselves that, celebrating and owning it, as they are targeting like minded people to buy their cars, and are going down a different route to the past.

Because you can't really be hacked off about a Jaguar car or Iceland hot cross buns. Or really believe Paris is scary and that people on here defend paedophiles.

define 'woke' here in the context of car design

I've never been a fan of their later interiors, always seemed a bit bland. The older jags oozed quality. The later ones looked like they're made out of old mondeo bits.
