I got a load you can have Teddy, I stopped using them after 6 months of daily negative results followed by a further 6 months of random negative results.

Plus now with prostate it could take ages to wet the strip!

Mike, very kind of you but its blood tests not urine tests I do. I guess you were testing for Ketosis. The new machines take a drum containing 17 strips which is much easier than trying to shove a test strip into the old machines. I guess I shall just have to claim I don't speak English..................

NHS seem to be cutting back on quite a few things, the chiropodist at my local medical centre has had to stop using his electric burr tool except for really difficult toe nails as he is no longer allowed to sterilise them between use, but must discard them after each patient instead of using them several days until worn (similar kit to a dentists drill or hobby/craft tool) .

He now has to use emery boards.

I think the same or similar ruling applies to barbers, they can only use disposable razors or if they want to use the "cut throat" type then they must use disposable blades, sterilisation not allowed. Are they going to apply the same rules to hairdressers scissors, clippers and combs?

What else will they force us to dispose of once we have used it once. the mind boggles
