@Tidemark, when I last did mine, I didn't need an appt, but had to go in within certain hrs as only one member of staff was trained to do it, and she worked part time.Honestly, it should be simpler. It is such a basic thing and there are millions of over 70s required to do regular updates.

What's your weather like 2026
It seems to be clouding over now but been sunny all morning. Did a bit of pruning then sat in the corner in the sun for 15 minutes, felt reasonable as there is no wind. 9c in the shade.
