Yet another thing to remember

1946 saw the start of our infamous National Health Service. Everything free, from life saving operations, to a wig to place on your head for the wind to blow off. What an innovation within weeks hospitals were full [What’s new?] Dental surgeries were bursting at the seems, [What’s new?] and believe it or not people were queuing to get measured for a wig. In one instance we all had to have all our teeth out. Spectacles were a must. And varicose veins tended to be a rude words and had to be removed at all cost. Every thing is free so anything goes.
Is it any wonder the bubble’s burst and the whole thing has gone to pot?
