    Yeah, I passed one of these “milestone” dates a while back and as a rub-it-in gesture they sent me a letter saying:

    Dear Sir, As you’re old now, please come in and have a checkup before you keel over and cause us to have to come get you.

    Ta,

    The Local Executive

    Ad walled, so didn’t read - you can just go to your GP and ask for a check up any time though, no need to wait for 40!

      Nice in theory, but I phoned my GP four years ago and I’m still on hold. I’m number 23,641 in the queue. My call is very important to them.

      Except that isn’t true for me.

      I have very rarely visited the doctors in my life as I am generally healthy, this year I went in for something and asked if I could book a general check up for things like blood pressure etc. You know, just to be sure as I never go in. They literally told me no.

      Cool, thanks for helping me be proactive and try and possibly save you guys time and money in the future!

        Oh, that’s a shame.

        Mine booked me in for blood tests and everything.
