    Well as stated by myself last 10 years or so... Man who thinks the same as i do ho2 trash our health system is... Disgusting.
    Now people will disagree obviosuly.. But nhs is on its last legs... Sooner it goes the better..we dont need lefties stating how good it is cause they get use it for free and anytime they want cause they dont work... They all should need to pay... Maybe will be better then

    You think the solution is to kill the NHS are you insane in what world is that a rational course of action.

    In the name of god look at the USA that's the alternative, paying for healthcare where even the simplest thing could put you in debt for life where medicines cost three times the price that it costs anyone in Europe.

    A healthcare system where the minute you can't work they take away the insurance that is supposed to pay for the thing that means you can't work.

    How could anyone in the UK fall for the idea that paying privately for health care was anything but a way to impoverish yourself.

    Been living in the Philippines for 4 years. Get sick over here and the first thing you miss is the NHS. Unless you can afford private health care over here, some expats are paying $300 a month some can affard that, I have Phil-health which I get free, normaly it's about 17k pesos a year for expats and that only covers about half of hospital stay.

    Do you realise that you come over as an incredibly angry person.

    'Dole dossers society' really, from your postings on this site you sound like you make a tiny fraction above minimum wage how the hell are you going to afford health insurance in your non NHS world.

    I guess maybe pensioners should not get a pension either, much better if they just keep working until they die, how about we bring back debtors prison while we are at it and maybe the workhouse should be brought back too that would be better for those in that dole dossers society.

    Oh and maybe lets take the right to vote away from woman too or maybe lets go further and restrict the vote to the rich only.

    Sickening viewpoints in this day and age.

    I have to disagree with you there. I am a staunch supporter of our NHS..it is the jewel in the crown of the UK . My wife and i are lucky enough to have an NHS dentist..a Polish dental surgeon..who is the best dentist ive had in my 72 years. We both have to pay the NHS charges..and NO complaints there.

    In 2016 i had to have an operation. We had only got married the month before. A stent inserted into my abdominal aorta. This was carried out under general anaesthetic at Southampton General hospital. I was unconscious for several hours. The surgeon was an American lady.

    Cost to me...nothing. Cost in america? I dread to think.

    Thank goodness for the NHS, rather have them and not need them than need them and not have them :)

    Again not everyone will agree... Lifes unfair as a whole... But again... Thats life... Everyone as different viewpoints... I agree i am an angry sort of person.. But not everyone agrees what others say...i dont moan about it those.. Its there opinions..

    Again we all know its on its knees.. Why? People abuse it... Like everything..

    Pensions have nothing do with this those... Again you should earn a pension those... But then again.. Should also have a choice to pay in for one... Getting older and older before claiming... And most wont be able get it because they will die.. I

    They run them in the borehole. All of them. Then they run them along the length of the borehole taking readings at a fairly useful resolution. A lot of it is older technology and well established. They are either run on electric cable or wireline. Or other methods are used such as telemetry to send the data to the surface.

    The gamma ray sensor for example measures the natural gamma ray in the rock which is very useful.
