i have copied government advice. It is to brand swap. That is not safe advice.
Please help! (grandchild being locked in bedroom)
Trying to get through prolonged/complicated grief
Hubby and I have just got back from Parliament Square celebrations (stayed longer than planned as the atmosphere was electric!) - We all made so many new friends (both leavers and remainers) - Hellllllo to the "Backing Singers"!
And Tenby Angels Helllooo - Hopefully we will see some new members joining GN. (I've warned them about the welcoming committee, don't worry). 
There is definitely a wonderfully, optimistic buzz in the UK!
I love this British wave of positivity.
Reminds me of the Berlin Wall coming down.
i have copied government advice. It is to brand swap. That is not safe advice.
New Zealand made thousands of people brand swap and have backtracked recently after 5 deaths www.rnz.co.nz/news/in-depth/405925/fifth-death-linked-to-epilepsy-brand-switch

So you are an expert because your sisters were nurses. Good for you.
Can you advise me on my problem , I’m seeing a lot of ‘bullsxxt’.
No, I'm not an expert by any means, but what I do know is that nurses aren't experts. They're trained to nurse, not be experts in medicines or diagnoses. As a diabetic, I do have some experience of being on the receiving end of cr*p advice form nurses.
form = from

I didn’t know this was a clinical setting, don’t be silly!

Please show where I have advocated brand swap.

You will have seen that I was asked if I had seen a Tonic Clinic seizure. Which I responded that I had when I was nursing, that was all.
If you can find where I have offered any medical advice on this thread, I would be pleased if you would show me.
Joelsnan twice (in response to my posts about epilepsy meds) you have said ‘what happens if people emigrate’ or if there is a ‘shortage of a particular brand’. And also a post along the lines of there are plenty of other medicine manufacturers in the world and they may well be cheaper.
If you were not suggesting brand swapping what were you saying?
Nezumi65
Are you for real?
I was asking genuine questions!
Some of you want to take a break. Just who do you think is benefitting from this pointless mud slinging?
Nezuni I think we’ve all gathered you have great concerns over the potential of brand swap. Stop repeating it please.
Growstuff forgive me, but with a history of heart disease through stress, just think about wha you’re doing to yourself.
Joelsnan you’ve wadded in and created an argument about nothing, it appears.
Deep breath, tomorrow’s another fresh day. Move on.

Which countries joelsnan?
As you evidently don’t believe my comment regarding deprivation and homelessness in others countries. I think it would be in both our interests if you research this yourself, then I don’t have to waste my time writing something you don’t believe and you don’t have to waste your time reading it.
And ananimous has achieved just what she wanted, throw firework into the crowd and watch them scatter
Throw a Divisive remark and sit back and watch the big ripples grow ,watch them tear into each other, an shred each other to pieces while she’s sitting back laughing.....let them do the work for you
You are all playing ananimous s game beautifully She’s on a high with not an ounce of decorum, just dancing in joy round the witches cauldron
she’s poking the smouldering fire
Silence would have worked so much better
Well I'm with ananimous
Happy Independence Day ??
I'm fed up off all the negative posts and insults from the Remainers or should that be Rejoiners lol in your dreams, we have left accept it.
@ ExperiencedNotOld - thank you. I have sat here for the last half hour or so wondering how to say the things you have said.
At the risk of speaking as I find, I agree with firecracker too.
dollymac, you can spend your life worrying or you can be optimistic, your choice entirely. Your worrying does not affect me but the worry might affect you and yours, we get back what we give out. Try and turn it around to have a happy life, like mine
Those who associate with the drunken thugs and nazi saluting view of the world who can shout as many f words at anyone you don’t like, you don’t speak for me and I wouldn’t want to work together with anyone of that ilk thank you very much. The ill spelt t shirt and the inability to articulate more that two words which don’t contain an obscenity embody the description “ thick racist”. It’s ugly. If you don’t mind agreeing with the likes of them, even secretly for fear of being challenged, then enjoy, but don’t expect anyone with half a brain cell of decency to agree with you.
I'm fed up off all the negative posts and insults from the Remainers...
Well, that's tough for you isn't it.
'Leaving' doesn't alter a thing. You'd love it if we'd all shut up so that you don't have to face up to the consequences of your choice. But some of us will be there to keep reminding you of them; however much you would prefer not to know.
If it was genuine then I apologise joelsnan - I should have only responded to ‘still no meds problems’ anamanious who was clearly shit stirring.
No I won’t shut up about the issues around medication or things like cancer treatment isotopes. The government doesn’t even seem to understand the issues. If I had any confidence that they are capable to negotiating a deal in 11 months then maybe I would feel more confident. No deal would be a disaster and would lead to deaths.
And I won’t shut up about the rise of the far right either. Unfortunately there seems to have been a lot of unpleasant racist and xenophobic incidents in London associated with Brexit celebrations - even if the media were out looking for them - they didn’t have to look very far.
Good morning, may I ask what exactly is the point of this thread?
There is no point to this thread!
No doubt we will have another one on Friday entitled ‘A week after Independence Day’!
unanimous is just a windup merchant!
Ah, OK thanks. I'm glad we have cleared that up. I'm off to refill my cafetiere.
I am waiting a while before celebrating or despairing. On 31st Jan we began the biggest change in policy this country has faced for decades. It will takes months for the snagging to be accomplished and years for the ultimate evidence of the direction the country's fortunes and ethos will take.
The pound was bound to rise - it goes up and down like a tart's drawers on the least provocation. The test is whether it stays up.
As the actress said to the bishop.
I just cannot comprehend how the OP can say that leaving the EU reminds me of the Berlin Wall coming down. As Callistemon said, it feels distinctly like a wall going UP.
I just feel tremendous sadness and loss.
And I hope we won't have Independence Day plus two, three, four threads...
I know I can just skip on by (and will on future if they pop up).
Also, I think those of us who are feeling pretty "down" about leaving the EU are not all pessimists as ananimous thinks. If anything, I'm a realist, often an optimist and comfortable with that. Some people who voted remain are definitely optimists (my daughter is one). These facts don't mean you stop thinking though! If you are an optimist but accidentally chop of your arm with a chain saw and it can't be sewn back on you would be very odd to think, "great, I can have a shiny new prosthetic arm", you will grieve the loss of the arm you once had. This doesn't mean you are a pessimist! Just think about it!
I see my post fell on deaf ears, carry on with the insults then who cares, we've left so all your ranting and raving won't make any difference.
I'm proud that I voted leave and proud to be English. ??
Why do remainers get so annoyed when leavers celebrate leaving the EU?
Some of them have been waiting years for this moment, of course they’re going to celebrate! Why shouldn’t they?
And all this ‘we’re not going away, we’re going to hold you to account’ crap, just makes these remainers sound so bitter & twisted I actually feel sorry for them. Have they really got nothing else to worry about?
And who are they going to keep reminding of their terrible decision?
