Q: How do elephants call their friends? A: They make a trunk call.

I enjoyed reading this so much and was laughing so loudly my wife asked me what was wrong

Q Why do elephants have flat feet A For stamping out burning ducks Q How do you know if you have an elephant in bed with you A Because he has an "E" embroidered on his pyjamas

As yet I have not seen any elephant jokes on here, so here is my effort to put that right. What do you do with a red elephant? Stop telling him rude jokes What do you do with a blue elephant? Tell him jokes to cheer him up What do you do with a white elephant? Stop telling him scary stories...

Have you checked the vets bills, just going to the vet costs £27, without the cost of any medication, a course of antibiotics for my dog cost another £87. At least with the NHS seeing your doctor is FREE! and if you have an exemption certificate prescriptions are also FREE!

I got a free one! not sure how or where or why! There are sometime giveaway ones on the main page. The main drawback with the giveaway ones is you then have to buy the test strips, etc

Just a thought. Wouldn't it be easier to administer the system if the information was printed on the prescription to indicate that you were a diabetic (or had one of the other conditions giving exemption) and therefor exempt from prescription charges. After all the doctor making the prescription...
