GordonD Posted March 1, 2022 Share Posted March 1, 2022 20 minutes ago, BFTD said: I've still not had my letter arrive. Wonder if I should read anything in to that. Mine came yesterday - but doesn't have to be completed until 20 March. Letter says the form can be filled in now but doesn't that defeat the purpose of the census itself, which is to provide a snapshot of the country on one particular day? If I fill it in now, then on the 20th I happen to be staying somewhere else, I should be included in the census for that address. So I'd appear twice! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I maybe haven't even got it, I'm not sure how to read the discussion I had with the optician yesterday, whether she thinks I have it or not. If this test confirms their suspicions I might have glaucoma I get referred on to hospital, as the specialist there is the only one who can actually confirm the diagnosis. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From memory, glaucoma is excessive eye fluid causing the eyeball to become over pressurised and a bit hard, when they should be a bit squidgy. Mostly it's eyedrops that are the treatment - they stopped putting leeches directly on the eyeball back in the 80s. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(The optician said the pressure behind my eyeballs was low (normal?), but we'll find out in the course of time.) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, i'm getting one for what looks like a camp spoof of the ipcress files and something about appkying for jobs in care. The latter is probably because of the wife using the search on my phone. Not saying that's definitely why you've a divorce ad, but.... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
