I'll start. Sanitary protection and condoms.

Condoms are free.

TellMeItsNotTrue · 14/06/2017 11:21

Sanpro definitely

Dandandandandandandan · 14/06/2017 11:21

Chocolate.

MelinaMercury · 14/06/2017 11:22

You can get condoms for free as well as a long list of contraceptive measures.

WiFi in public spaces. So many cities manage it, why can't we?

I think reusable sanpro should be free, moon ups and washable pads then disposable stuff charged, help the environment and all that.

Same with nappies, reusables free or heavily discounted and disposables charged.

Suncream should be free it's so expensive in some places, I know you can get it from cheaper shops but if you can't get to them then you have the choice of paying £££, getting burnt or not going out.

Water fountains free to use in many more public spaces too.

No one should ever have to pay to use a toilet either.

Prescriptions (they are here in NI but should be extended throughout the UK).

Sirzy · 14/06/2017 11:29

Hospital car parking without doubt should be free.

TitsalinaBumSquash · 14/06/2017 11:29

Yes CF medication, it's a fucking joke that prescriptions aren't free for cf when things like diabetes etc it is. I hate to think of my sons medication charges when he's an adult. Angry

Visits to opticians. I put this off for 18 months because I'd only been 6 months before but was having problems with my eyesight. I mentioned it to my Gp but she wasn't that interested. It cost me £50 ( not including the now essential prescription sunglasses) and I was diagnosed with a serious eye condition.

YY to wine. GrinGrin

Also university training to education and HC professionals, providing they spend a certain number of years in the public sector after training.

notknownatthisaddress · 14/06/2017 11:31

Yup ST's, nappies, and uni education - but only if you have grade C and above in your A levels, no-one is allowed in with 5 grade E's, (or utter fails,) just because the uni wants to fill the places. Only free for good A level results.

Newjob12345 · 14/06/2017 11:32

Why should San pro be free?
Then you would have to make toilet roll free too which is ridiculous.
