Nurse: You'll have to make an appointment to see someone.
Me: Ok.
Nurse: But before you can make an appointment you will have to fill in a travel questionnaire.
Me: Ok, that's fine. Where do I get this form from?
Nurse: You'll have to come in and get it.
Me: Er... What? Can't you just send it to me?
Nurse: (laughs) No, darling, this is the NHS, we've got no money to spend to send things.
Me: (pause) but... it doesn't cost anything to email it.
Nurse: No we don't use such things.
Apparently email was invented in 1971. Congratulations, NHS. You're only 40 years behind the times.
