EHealth Insider diary,

 

The diary has been struggling to come up with an IT angle to the following story, but it’s such a funny and touching tribute to the NHS that we’ve decided to run it even though there isn’t one.

The club needed a portable toilet for its event, and lashed one to a handy stone; specifically the one marking the spot where Nye’s ashes are buried. Adam Khan, a 25 year-old from Trefil, was outraged. "There was… this delightful outhouse clinging tenaciously to his commemorative stone like fresh dog muck sticking to shimmering galoshes," he told the website. No more. The loo has gone and the club has apologised.
