Firstly my PC woes. It was sorted with a clean internally, and is OK for the moment. The other thing, that can affect most people, the financial crippling Dentist. Try and find a NHS dentist in Lincolnshire that is not private, more chance of finding a Unicorn I reckon. My partner and I took the decision to go to her old dentist, and get a dental plan along with a checkup, now this is normal practice, and I expected a fairly substantial bill, I had to pay an initial £150 for a X Ray and checkup. Now we are both retired and on the UC benefit scheme, we have saving plus a small pensions (not a lot), but I did not expect a few dental visits resulting in nearly 3K, considering we both entitled to FREE dental treatment, which I have received in the past. Anyhow, my immediate thought was "oh well that the hi fi upgrades finished for a long time". Anyhow we are booked into a NHS dentist next month in Nottingham, so normal service may resume in a couple of months time , a new Dac/Pre, possibly a Ferrum Wandla on demo. And with Christmas coming up, maybe a couple of sub £100 power leads The new Amphion Argon 7LS speakers are now run in and sound very good

I have not had dentist for over forty years as no private or NHS Dentist will accept me as a patient . The main cause of this is that I an allergy to all current used locals and they all say it is too expensive to get an alternative for one patient . Result is I have not seen it been seen by any dentist for thirty years and in truth I have not had any issues or missed it . I feel truly sorry that this supposed NHS service is currently not available to huge parts of the UK in particular for any like me who has paid NI for over forty years and can get a Doctors appointment , hospital referral or a Dentist . All of the above goes away if I pay to see any of them privately ,sadly I do not have the money to do that . Hope things improve for you and your Wife .

the lack of NHS dentists is a disgrace , the rise in mouth cancer is pretty big because of this . very sad and many many can no longer find a NHS dentist
