I’m angry. Angry at the struggle to get adequate health care for my husband after major cardiac surgery. Can’t fault the hospital care, just their expectation of what primary care can provide. The GP practice is doing its best, primary care just can’t provide what is needed from transport through to monitoring. So yes, I’m angry.

I know a lot of people who are very angry about the daily influx of hundreds of people on rubber dinghies. They are angry because people already living here are waiting for social housing, dental care, operations, school places etc. They find the daily news reports depressing as nobody seems to be sorting this out.

I know this will offend some people on here but it is true. It is the most talked about topic we hear from all our customers. Some say “don’t even start me on this. I am sick of it.”

There seem to be a lot of angry, shouty people around. I don’t know why. I’m not one of them, though I’m easily irritated by things such as poor use of English and bad manners.

Yes I think people have changed. We have noticed in particular that there are more angry drivers. In fact we think the standard of driving has gone down in the last couple of years. I think too that people are angry constantly hearing bad news - Ukraine, cost of living, fuel bills, stabbings, dying planet.....

I am not angry.
But I have noticed some people are short tempered/snippy.
Maybe they always were!

Is it just me that is finding that everyone is angry at the moment? Including myself I have to add shamefully. There are probably lots of reasons but I feel there has been a big shift since lockdown opened up. Wondered what your thoughts are?
