    Why Do You Watch Last Of The Summer Wine?

    I grew up in the north, Northern Virginia (ha ha) (which is slightly south of Washington, DC.) And as I watched LOTSW, there was something so very familiar.

    Why Do You Watch Last Of The Summer Wine?

    Fivers

    So what happens if someone from across the pond, is in the middle of traveling to the UK and falls ill? Does National Health say "oops, you're out of luck" or is there some way to get treatment at a reasonable cost?
