Trainee accountant? PWC, KPMG, EY, Deloittes, BDO usually recruit at offices all over the UK. Or banking or HMRC?

You're absolutely right, but I believe his key responsibility is adult social care (not that this makes things any better). It's okay though since we have a 19 year old in charge of children's services.

I think a few counties are in a similar position and are about to find out. Leicestershire has already appointed its cabinet including a 22yo in charge of adult social care and a 19yo in charge of childrens' services. 🤯

Guess what ... it had traces of blood but didn't stop them concluding that it might be indicative of a tumour. Full biopsy required £1200+

Experienced this a couple of weeks ago with Filbert (pictured below). During his annual health check, I asked the vet about a lump on the elbow of one of his front legs. They recommended a £230 test which, it transpires, often gets contaminated by blood in the sample ...

Wouldn't be surprised if his team started the rumour.

Visited his house and garden last Autumn. Incredible and much larger than I expected.
