Well, that was exciting #BBBR14

As the train pulled into Finsbury Park everything was looking good. But then came the announcement. Train cancelled.
Due to engineering works only 1 track into Kings Cross was running.  And the signal box had put our train onto the wrong platform, we could not proceed.

We argued our case with an excellent member of staff (Jamie) and she initially tried to get us onto an empty train being moved into St Pancras.  To no avail.

At our request she spoke to TFL and they agreed we could take the bikes on the Victoria line into Kings Cross. Provided we removed our front wheels, so they were luggage :-).

So now we're on the earlier train (we volunteered to help out if others were delayed) and are heading to Brussels.

Dinner tonight and then we hit the road.  My third BBBR and do hope it's the best!

Good start to BBBR14!

Waiting at the station and met a fellow rider. So chatted all the way to Kings Cross. Ride has started :-)

Do you really want commercial organisations to have access to *your* medical records?

Received this leaflet recently? Thought it was innocuous?

Think again.

The opt out is so buried you probably didn't particularly notice it.  If you go here: 

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/nhs/10584402/Dont-mislead-us-about-our-NHS-medical-records.html

And then read this:

http://care-data.info/

Then maybe you'll take a different view to how your (only partially) anonymised medical data will travel.  I for one, don't want any commercial firm gaining access to my Medical data tagged by gender, DOB and Postcode.  That's enough to pin me down? How many people in your postcode share your age? Let alone your birthday?

I'm opting out, I think you should consider it carefully too.

Somewhere in here is a cat!
