A question I have about the high blood pressure figure, and perhaps it also applies to diabetes, is whether those are untreated/badly managed conditions or untreated/managed? IE If you take blood pressure medication, the idea is that you end up not having high blood pressure.

I have a friend who works for Openreach and he says that the Communication Workers Union is considering a plan to request that telephone engineers only do jobs that entail working outside only.
Tesco are to suspend their plastic bag free policy, leave shopping outside and will no longer require customers to sign the electronic device thing that they have.

The engineers could be careful what they touch, and the person could be in another room. Many people need the phone line.
