Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better!
Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Even as a beneficiary I wonder really why the NHS, i.e the UK taxpayer, should be expected to pick up the tab when I rupture my ACL skiing out of control in Obergurgl.
The same reasons it picks up the tab for drunken idiots who fall in the high street and do their ACL, or for druggies who OD, or rugby players who incur spinal injuries.
Free universal healthcare for all is a central tenet of the NHS...and is flawed philosophy. It serves to encourage a lack of personal and social responsibility. But we all want and "love" the NHS, so it shall continue. I got destroyed on another forum for suggesting notional charging for primary healthcare (eg £12 for a GP appointment), or an excess charge (which could be covered by insurance) for accidents /injury. I won't repeat that here!!
You're probably wise to keep it out of this thread Dravot, but I believe there's mechanism for this when insurance is in place for example an accident between bicycle and car, the cost of emergency attendance for the cyclist can be recovered from the insured party without guilt being in place, but simply because that was the only insured party involved.
But, as you indicate, it's another whole topic and should be placed outside this thread.
