Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Smooth. No Really.

It has been five years since Alan Milburn announced the construction of a £442m 'super' hospital, consolidating 4 existing hospitals into one.

Over the weekend, the new UCLH building opened its doors.

Whilst its an impressive building and all, and I am sure it will raise standards of healthcare, I have made two observations. First, would it have been such an inconvenience to incorporate an exit to Euston Square on the hospital side of the A501, the Euston Road. Secondly, whilst A&E for Ambulances is to the rear of the building at ground level the pedestrian entrance is from, yes you guessed it, the A501. Which is also a red route, so no stopping

Oh, and its up some steps (the entrance to the ramp is from the far end of the building due to the slope).

Check out the pics below. Note both the lady in white and lady in blue who are both on crutches.
