Last year I had to help give CPR for 25 minutes and use a defibrillator which luckily was close by on a friend. He’s made a full recovery. Doctor said survival rate is 10%, 50% with defib. I wonder if buying your own defibrillator (under £1,000) would be a good idea in your case?

I'm about to become 68 and yes I would. I never had to do national service, it ended way before I was born, but if I'd had to I wouldn't have whinged about it. I remember my father had quite happy memories of it

I was hit in February by a car doing 50mph (as, briefly, was I) which overtook me as I was turning right. Luckily a glancing blow - a foot the other way I’d be dead. I was back on my bike in a week. Thanks to Cycling UK the £5k compensation came today. I’m getting cameras

Just for clarity, they wouldn’t normally be expected to repay legal aid. This usually only happens in civil cases where there is a financial award, such as divorce. In fact it’s no longer available for divorce unless there is violence. Where interest is applied, it’s 8% per annum

That example would be assault and it’s a criminal offence, not a road traffic offence (ex magistrate here). Just because your assailant emerged from a car, rather than say a pedestrian, doesn’t mean it should be classed as a motoring offence. Criminal record is more serious

Report this to his insurance company - easily done online via a website that contacts his insurer who then contacts you. If no personal injury they’ll deal direct and the authorities never become involved. He’ll lose his no claims discount and get hit for the excess

You were on your own which must be awful. There were two of us (the other guy had taken a course) and another ran to get the defibrillator. Soon after I took a CPR course, I recommend anyone who has the opportunity to do so. So glad you had a positive outcome

Prison serves a number of purposes, all important. Rehabilitation, punishment, deterrent, and, key here, protecting the public. You can’t expect all of these to be met every time, but the one you can be certain of is protecting the public while the offender is in prison.

It wouldn't be ok, and that's not why. It has no connection to being trans. GPs see patients, they don't have time to write admin letters. The patient notified the surgery they are living outside the area - the surgery could be penalised for claiming for patients who live outside

For those saying pikelets are different, it kind of misses the point. Pikelets exist and are labelled as such in supermarkets and are thinner. However, when I was a child in Sheffield (I’m 65 now) my grandad would call what we know as crumpets, pikelets. It’s a regional thing

You’re making a good argument for a cyclist not using such an obviously inadequate cycle lane - much safer for the cyclist to occupy the main carriageway lane so the bus has to wait behind. NB cyclists are not obliged to use a cycle lane at all
