East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS) can't cope with the load being put upon it. EMAS has faced criticism for missing some response time targets.
Extract from here: www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23620394
"A surge in the use of private ambulances has been defended by East Midlands Ambulance Service (EMAS). In 2010/11, 12 emergency journeys were handled by private vehicles but this jumped to 246 in 2012/13, with the cost rising from £638,000 to £3.5m. Bosses at EMAS said private firms had to meet high standards and allowed the service to cope with peaks in demand. But Unison said it was vital that money was invested in the NHS rather than given to outside firms."
So enter the contractors... Amvale Medical Services.
This is is regular sight at the "Ibis Budget" (£38 per night). Amvale accommodate out of area crews here over night. The line up normally includes Paramedic cars also.
Other Ambulance contractors have been keeping costs to a minimum by camping... www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-23592852
A whistleblower said staff were camping because the £35 a day to cover food and board when working away from home was not enough to pay for a hotel room.
Meantime at EMAS headquarters, they have lost a disk containing 42,000 records of ambulance patients:

Of course this all a waste of time if there isn't enough capacity at the A&E department isn't it?
A brick is a block made of clay burnt in a kiln. It is one of the primary building materials known to mankind. Over time, bricks have appeared, gained prominence, lost importance and then come to the forefront again with various styles of architecture. Burnt bricks were used in ancient Indian, Babylon, Egypt and Roman civilizations. They are still being used as filler materials for framework structures as well as to construct load bearing structures. Down the ages, there have been various interesting historic and cultural references to bricks.
Brick kiln labourers form a large portion of workers in the informal sector in India. Workers, who are usually from the poorest sections of Indian society, are recruited against a loan by labour contractor or employer, which they have to repay by working for them. However, as they lose control over the debt and cannot leave until the employer decides when it’s paid off, they cannot realistically leave the ‘employment’. They are bonded labours.
The working and living conditions are sometimes extremely harsh. As workers usually live within the kiln, there are high levels of hazardous substances such as arsenic, burnt plastic and dust. Workers, including children, are frequently injured at work. The average working day consists of 15-16 hours and the great majority of children do not attend school or have any play time. The accommodation is usually overcrowded, commonly with several families living together in one single room, with outdoor toilets.
Kiln workers have little or no knowledge of their basic rights, entitlements and bonded labour prohibitions. Being from the most vulnerable segments of society and lacking organisation, bonded labourers remain “invisible” to the authorities.

“. . . one of the Navy’s most useful helpers in fighting the U-boats is a recently perfected Diesel engine called a ‘pancake’ because its cylinders are stacked one above the other. Combined with GM-developed controllable pitch propellers, this engine has made possible a new-type subchaser with more speed, wider range, increased maneuverability – and therefore greater effectiveness. . .” [From the ad copy]
This WWII-era ad highlights a significant leap in naval engineering. While General Motors’ marketing language focused on the "pancake" moniker, the combination of the GM 16-184A Diesel engine and controllable pitch propellers fundamentally changed the performance of subchasers (specifically the PC-461 and SC classes). The engine’s vertical design saved 80% in weight, allowing for more weaponry and fuel, and it occupied only one-third the space of traditional diesels. This allowed subchasers to be faster with more range without increasing the ship’s overall size.
The controllable pitch propeller was the "secret sauce" for effectiveness against U-boats. Unlike standard propellers, these allowed the ship to change direction (forward to reverse) or speed almost instantly by tilting the propeller blades rather than waiting for the engine to change RPMs. This allowed subchasers to stay directly over a submerged U-boat during depth charge runs, a task that required precise, slow-speed handling that older engines struggled to maintain.
By optimizing the power-to-weight ratio, these subchasers could reach speeds of approximately 20–22 knots, allowing them to outrun surfaced U-boats and close the distance quickly once a sonar contact was made. Because the engines were so efficient and light, the ships could carry enough fuel to escort convoys across vast stretches of the Atlantic, whereas previous smaller craft were often tethered to coastal operations. The ship’s compact size also enabled its mass production, the “splinter fleet” that patrolled the coasts.

The most thoroughly organized and well equipped tool trailer I've ever seen. Wish I could've lighted it properly and gotten better pics. The owner has been working on a house overhaul nearby.
I recall it being said about an auto mechanic that you can judge the quality of his work by his tools. I think the same would apply in a case like this.
