Perception of cold varies massively and of course at different ages and weights you feel it more or less.
Consider that you may be used to an excessive level of artificially created heat.

Lobbyist relationships don’t mean every single decision or report goes in their favour. It does mean that on matters of serious and sweeping reform their voices are heard however, and they should not be heard as they have a singular interest.

It is not, an 'independent' organisation accepting funds from GSK clearly highlights a particular openness to their business practices. No one pays for anything without expecting something back. I have worked in this industry, it is well known just how 'independent' these think tanks are.

It completely depends on what it is, but we shouldn’t accept the current situation. The NHS is being underfunded and wasting billions on useless upper management. The ‘foreigners’ are correct.

Generally Brits are much less on top of eachother, yes. The concept of being ‘good at texting’ isn’t one I’ve encountered. To me being good would mean being interesting and engaging, not just relentlessly spamming people with chat.

You would be surprised. Most people who have kids and a busy job don’t like overly needy friends that need constant reassurance. Good friends understand people get back to you when they can and don’t flood them with messages because they struggle with silence.
