I want to go dnr now, and in the discussion with my gp she said I would need to get one of those to alert medical staff. Nope, not doing it. Thinking a tattoo on the wrist would be cheaper and a lot harder to ignore.
Heisenberg, is it all about choices? Like hi viz? Like vaxes? Letting someone else charge us for a service they profit from? Yes, I suppose it is. Same as getting a little bit of ink. Now I just have to decide on the font.

You'll need something very clear & easy to read, quite large-ish letters.

I just wish, whoever is in, they stop blaming the other lot. It is such a bad look.

It would be brilliant if all our politicians put aside their differences & worked together, taking a long term view & doing what's best for all of us. Rather than acting in the best interests of those who are wealthy, while making things worse for those who are not. Deliberately I suspect.
