I popped into town at lunchtime to run errands. One of those errands was going to be dropping off a repeat-prescription form at my GP's surgery, to replenish my dwindling stocks of gluten-free pasta.

Only, when I got to the surgery, I found it had vanished. The nameplates on the door had been replaced with blank plates, and there was no indication that a doctor's surgery had ever been there. No notice saying ‘we have moved to new premises’, or even ‘we have closed permanently’. Just a blank door and no explanation.

I'm somewhat surprised. I'd have expected a letter to all their patients, or something. I stood and gaped at the door for quite a while before wandering off looking confused.
