It’s The End For Windows 7

After a decade of support for the Windows 7, Microsoft has finally ended security updates for the operating system yesterday. This could mean that those who are still using the aforementioned operating system would be vulnerable to bugs, and further problems that will arise will no longer be fixed. Those who are part of companies which have paid for extended support, however, are good until 2023.

That doesn’t mean it’s the end for Windows 7 users, however. They can still get better protection through an upgrade loophole which Microsoft seems to not be particularly troubled about. The said loophole lets the person upgrade to Windows 10 free of charge, provided that he has a legitimate copy of Windows 7 or 8.1.

"As foreigners advanced, archers would shoot arrows at them through tiny slits in the castle walls that allowed them to see out without letting enemies see in."

Not quite right. It was the foreigners (The Normans) who built the castles.

I didn't know that Britain only consisted of England, that Tesco sold 24 cans of Stella for £4, that you can get housing benefit if you have savings over 16,000 and that you can buy a pint for around a pound.
Oh, because none of it is correct, that will be why.

e0cs0r is correct - the article is staggeringly incorrect.
If the writer of it is British then she lives in a totally different Britain to the rest of us (even allowing for the passage of time).

Also I've been to the doctors several times in the last few years (both for myself, with my wife and with our young son) and I don't remember ever having to wait for longer than about 15 minutes. Appointments are usually available the same day if my son is ill or it's something that can't wait. If it's something non vital then you are usually seen the following day. I appreciate anecdote does not = evidence but it's yet another time when an article does down our (free at the point of need) health service when it's pretty damned amazing!
