Bird Flu Monitor > Waitrose - Scotland doesn't need you
[Foostie!!] A representative of Waitrose, part of the John Lewis Partnership, appears to have opened a gaping mouth and allowed a belly to rumble some nonsense about not sourcing any chicken or eggs from Scotland at this time. Well that was a damn fine PR stunt.

[LoopyLibrarian] Urgh! A Music War: So why do we GPs pull a face as though they actually go together like D 'n' V? (FYI that's diarrhoea and vomiting, folks.) After all, c hoose and book seems a sensible idea: the news that you have piles, say, is softened by your doctor giving you a choice of hospitals and booking your appointment there and then.

[Avianfluwatch.blogspot.com] Avian Flu Watch: "Each virus contains eight RNA molecules carrying information for the proteins in the virus," says Sir John Skehel. "In one of the samples, one of the proteins had mutated in a way that would allow it to move from bird to human cells more effectively." That has been seen before, in Hong Kong in 2003 and Vietnam last year, but two more genetic changes will probably have to take place before the virus becomes infectious among humans, says Sir John.
[Daelnet.co.uk] Daelnet - The internet gateway for the dales: Whilst i do agree with what you are saying in your article, are we as consumers not to blame also, my husband has just given up being a milkman this year after 15 years in the business, and whilst i cannot deny that supermarkets caused us to loose customers, i do not entirely blame them. We as consumers are far too focused on price and not able to see that paying a little bit more for a product is not necessarily a bad thing, when i was collecting milk money from an old gentleman customer one winter he asked me why our prices were more than the supermarket, a good question so i replied: you have to pay a little more to have it delivered to your doorstep, we have never yet missed a delivery even in appalling winter weather conditions(when i know the said gentleman would not get his car out of the garage to go and get supplies!)
