    Trolleys measure only post-admittance, known as the team-to-ward stage. As you can see here in this study of 20,000 admittances in St James they are one of the least significant (although still significant) predictors of health outcomes.

    That's the point really. Its important, but its most definitely not the most important predictor of health outcomes as this study shows. Thats the problem - focusing on the least significant factor.
    Also the other thing about this is I think you have to give some benefit of the doubt that on twitter when people say 'trolleys' they probably mean it as a shorthand for something along the lines of "the manifold visible and invisible symptoms of resourcing issues which manifest themselves most obviously as overcrowding". Which is why nobody disagreed with the tweet saying spending 300M on the patient treatment scheme is a better idea than 300M on extra beds alone.

    Anyway I learned a bit from that particular hot-take so thanks!

        I'm perilously close to pulling the trigger on a new bike that I 100% don't need. £2100 down from £4500 - I'd be stupid not to right?

                Thats not really what happens.

                    It's a shitload of bike for the money tbf, although the styling is a bit dull in the pictures.

                        Nah I'd be out on the bike for the pure joy of pedalling myself around the countryside, having a motor would take the fun out of it. Obviously buying bikes with more and more absurd levels of engineering gone into them is a bit like giving yourself a motor but not quite the same.

                        I would consider looking into an e-bike at some stage for commuting but this one would be purely for taking out on long summertime rides. Actually trying to nail down a trip to cycle Paris to Nice for charity in September for a week at the moment, it would be like my dream holiday.

                          I thought it was a murky grey area in Ireland? You could have one but it doesn't mean it'll be followed.

                              afaik they are rarely used or needed, rules are followed and common sense applied in most situations.

                                If I was spending that much I'd be after one of the ultra light steel frames, had one out in Italy during the summer and it was amazing.

                                        Not even that old either, 69.

                                        Fierce smoker I believe so might be aligned to that.

                                          My folks live in Spain in a golf resort. It's kinda like a retirement community, mostly Brits and Irish.

                                          They were hosting a 70th birthday one evening in their apartment for a friend of theirs, an English lady.

                                          Where abouts are they? I have friends that have apartments in a Golf Resort as well.

                                                      How light do the steel ones get? This one I linked to is only around 7kg even with the electronic shifting.

                                                                                                            And that direct US intervention leads to more instability and violence, not less. The historical debt for this lies with Bush Junior and Blair.

I take your point in general though, I was more making the point that to do something of this magnitude, you would assume the US have done the due diligence on potential Iranian proxy retaliation, and the magnitude of it and said... release the hounds.

Not bad compared to global car sales in a given year of 80m, and bearing in mind most of those global car sales will be cheapass cars - so they'll have a decent few percent of the high end car market. If I was an adventurous sort I'd be shorting them as they tend to be priced on emotion which is quite fickle, but aside from that its a fascinating company.
