The PIP medical declared me fit

Having successfully been through this process with my bird I wonder how the people employed to do this live with themselves. Seen good friends with copd refused PIP when they couldn't walk 5 yards.

The stress of going through the medical is off the scale.

Good luck to anyone going through the process.

A bit like tory's,  you have to be economical with the truth.

No shame should be attached in claiming.

Anyone else find the wording of the BBC's headline a bit weird?

"Sir David Amess dies after stabbing"

 

It's more obviously odd if you use the same format for earlier assassinations:

"John Lennon dies after shooting"
"Airey Neave dies after explosion"

etc

It’s boss. Makes me chuckle every week. Nostalgic, nice, daft telly. Only host who never made me laugh was Wogan. All the rest though were ace. 

Les Dawson was hysterical on it. Love seeing old episodes with him presenting.

I’m struggling to see what’s weird here? What do you suggest they should have said?
