I think he means presented on-screen as "ü".

Never thought of that. Doh!
I used to get plenty of 
 on my repeat prescription form.
Changed pharmacist and no longer get the form - or the messages the surgery sometimes leaves on it. Now when is my medication review?

When the doctor stops writing scripts because you haven't done the review ???

Bit slow!

They still print them, even in this digital world. They just throw them away - sometimes they ask you if you want it.
What really bugs me is the sheer number of sticky labels they put on, all with (often multiple items of) personal information that needs to be destroyed before it goes in the bin.

Old pharmacist usually did. New pharmacist has a machine that dispenses some prescriptions - if it's working. Whoever makes up the prescription doesn't include the form. As for sticky labels - if only they were sticky. There's enough of them but the glue is useless.

Nottinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service has issued another urgent warning against garden fires as crews dealt with two large-scale field fires in the county.

The service said its control room had continued to receive reports of people lighting fires in their gardens on Thursday afternoon, August 13, despite repeated appeals during the prolonged spell of hot and dry weather.

Someone from the Wire has been in the Tardis and can predict the future. Wednesday afternoon, August 12 perhaps? Journalists!
