New Alzheimers drug has been licensed.

There is a lot of evidence that diet and exercise have a big impact on dementia onset, as well as on a lot of other serious diseases like CHD etc. So, in a sense, the solution already is available, for those willing to change their eating and lifestyle. -
Presumably you mean 'Why would they want to do that?'

Because parents who wish to immunise their children against measles, but don't want them having the triple vaccine jab, could go ahead and get them the measles jab.

A bit of superglue would do it. -
I expect that vaccine uptake would be higher if the single measles jab were available on the NHS.

Do you have access to the actual official reasoning behind this company policy? If so, what is it?

Yes- because you've just posted this on a public forum

Though at many times of the day your chances of getting a taxi to turn up is far from adequate. -
None of the drugs obtainable legally in the UK are suitable for reliable euthanasia- in overdose they tend to leave you alive while destroying liver or kidney function. Barbiturates are viable, but, made illegal, in large part because so many people used them successfully for suicide.

It's Hard To Be A White Man In Your 60s
onewheeldave replied to melthebell's topic in Padders' Bar: General Discussions
Prior to covid I would also have thought that right/left wing shouldn't have made much difference when it came to a pandemic and the associated compliance decisions. It perplexed me greatly why, whenever I found a source of info that seemed sane to me, that it was inevitably a source that was either right wing, or labelled as such. I honestly can't think of a single left wing source that challenged the measures, objected to the lockdowns- in fact the majority of left wing sources only called out for yet more measures, more restrictions, more censorship, etc. In hindsight, I can now see why the left are like that- watching the increasing woke hysteria with all the attendant demands for restrictions, and, especially censorship, also makes things a bit clearer. It was about compliance, and, any caring, was for a select group of the population, and damn the rest to hell. That is not 'caring'. Children died of cancer unable to see their parents. Buisnesses and lives ruined. As predicted by some, the NHS now further crippled by the fall out of the lockdowns in terms of horrific waiting lists..... and plenty more which I'll not mention as I don't want to take this thread off topic. -
It's Hard To Be A White Man In Your 60s

I used to be quite averse to right wingers. But watching GB news during the insanity of the global covid over reaction did wonders for my mental health- was very good to be aware that there were people out there who could see that what the authorities were doing was not right. Disturbingly, all the left wingers seemed to offer was total compliance. Personally I don't much care about left wing vs right wing- there are clearly highly intelligent and moral people on both sides [and vice versa]. Prior to covid I never would have supported a Tory govt, but, I sure am glad left wingers weren't in charge during covid. -
Just to be clear- I wasn't advising to switch to Uber- City has issues.... Uber has different issues. I like to support City because if they go under, Uber has the monopoly and their prices will rise accordingly. What I was suggesting was to have both apps, so if a City driver doesn't pick up your job you can book an Uber i.e. it's a back up.

There are 2 types of people who buy the online tickets- those who don't want to print them out, and, those who do. If a print option is provided here's no bother to the first group- they won't be looking for a print option. No bother to the second group either, as they do want to print so having the option is good. Clearly the motivation is nothing to do with bothering people. The only thing that will/is causing bother, is the absence of the print option.

You might want to contact Disability Sheffield- they are already aware of large numbers of disabled people being let down by City Taxis. The reality is that getting any kind of reliable service from City Taxis requires a lot of experience e.g. knowing when they are less likely to turn up- Friday afternoons are always bad due to it being Friday prayers; 3-30pm onwards on any week day, due to the rush hour conjestion etc. The City app is fairly bad, but using it at least lets you know when a driver has picked up your job, and allows you to track where they are- if you book by phone you'll have no idea of either of those things. Then have the Uber app to hand so if no City driver picks up your job you can then switch to Uber.
