Almost dead? The GP will see you now | GPs
I sympathize with Simon Hattenstone (I tried using the new GP online booking system? I did – and it was almost as miserable as my chest infection on December 10). I completed the online form, requesting a physical appointment with a GP, I received an email offering a phone call with a pharmacist. I called reception to explain that I needed to see a GP and she told me she couldn’t make an appointment – everything had to go through an online form. It seems you have to be almost dead before you can see a GP.

Regarding the wild beaver spotted in Norfolk (“No one knows where it came from”: first wild beaver spotted in Norfolk in 500 years, on December 7), it obviously comes from Ambridge – which explains why there hasn’t been much media coverage on the beavers since their release. Please let Rex and Kirsty know where he is – they will be frantic with worry.

If there is to be an invasion of San Serriffe (Letters, December 10), it will begin with an aerial bombardment.
