You can always tell Yorkshire folk. But you can't tell 'em much...

That's part of it. Another consideration is whether any proposed treatment would adversely affect any other ongoing medical problems and v.v. For instance, the impact of major bowel surgery on someone with significant heart and chest trouble.

Screening over 75s does have some benefits, but the drawbacks are greater than for younger folk so it's less worthwhile. Both the risk and severity of complications from the screening itself increase with age, and these can be severe, including bleeding and perforation of the colon. So current...

In your position, I'd get the Long Range. Two reasons:- 1. The more crucial it is that you use them, the more likely public chargers are to be broken. 2. Winter will decimate your range - as a former North Yorkshire resident whose work frequently took me around the North York Moors, I know...

Hello, Inverness resident here.... Which way round you do it really doesn't matter; I've driven the whole of it both ways piecemeal over years and it's equally good either way IMO. The important thing is to take it slowly and savour the scenery. Too many folk do the NC500 for the 500 rather...
