It's called the National Exercise Referral Scheme (NERS) and we have it in Wales.
It certainly does work, When the hospital physios first got me out of bed I could hardly even stand, now after a few treadmill sessions I'm up to 2 mph.
I couldn't do all the exercises that I was given though.

@Lily Rose What make did you buy, mine is Samsung?

That small one that I have works OK, but I don't have anything to project onto at the moment, the walls are big enough as my ceiling is 17 feet high, but it's not good on the magnolia that the landlord has painted them.

I had a search on the inter web. They seem to be 230V mains or have a built in battery charged by 230V mains or the power source isn't specified . Eventually I found one the has a 5V DC input . But really I have doubts about most of the adverts so the OP will have to decide what to buy
The one that I have is similar to this one, but it runs on 12v, the adaptor output is 12v @ 2 amps.
Power input is the DC socket on the end which the one in that advert also appears to have.

I'll have a look at mine when I get home, it runs off a power adaptor but I've never checked what voltage.

The Wey & Arun have one in store for future use, it came from the GKN factory in Birmingham.

The Borough of Waverley seem to be pretty sympathetic to the Wey & Arun canal restoration.

Ir is next door to a Lidl, which may be a preferred option for some.

I agree, I never visit crapdonalds, lots of people do like it, I only know because I'm doing drawings for the three industrial units along with it.

If anyone is interested in eating their rubbish, there is a new McDonalds being built next door to Circus Field basin on the GU Aylesbury arm.

I think that I would flatten both sides and lower temperature silver solder it from the back using a fine blow torch, probably with an active flux in the joint and fluxed rod. I am not sure it would be economic if one did not have the rod & flux in stock.
I suggested brazing as it's a similar material, I've done silver soldering.

I've got a cheapo Titan 1300W wet & dry vacuum cleaner that I bought from Screwfix a few years ago. It's very good and I see they're now on sale for £39 if anyone needs one.
The only problem I find with all these machines is that the bags never seem to fit properly and they fall off inside. I know you're supposed to use the foam filter and dust bag when vacuuming dry but does anyone know, is the bag just for the convenience of emptying or if you use it without a bag will dust just be blown back out?
Bugger too late I ordered a Vax on Wednsday.

Take it to an expert & get it brazed back together, I've haven't done brazing for years so I wouldn't be any good.

Indeed. It's the loss of physical strength that is the most shocking. I have to get the wife to open such as sauce bottle tops for me know 😩 and knackered just climbing the stairs etc etc 😞

Get the NHS to refer you to a physical fitness expert, you get 3 months cheap gym membership, I never thought that I'd enter such a place but it's working.

Now that you have seen the Grim Reaper off for the time being,
I did that last year, 8 days in ICU sepsis, kidney failure, 2 days unconscious in the ventilator & then 4 weeks on a surgical ward so I know Tim's ordeal.
PS the hospital was amazed that I recovered from sepsis, I the ICU night team come in to see me because they where surpised I was sitting up.
Like me, Tim will have a very long recovery time as ICU told me it'll take a year or more to get all my strength back.

I’m amazed they’ve sorted it so quickly. Somebody had their Weetabix this morning!
I don't think the haulage company would allow it to sit there too long, they'll be loosing money.

It's not a new type of narrowboat then?
