Serves you right for pissing in the sink.
General cockpunch in the vague direction of the kitchen sink manufacturing industry. All I want is something that will take a standard oven tray flat (480mm x 370mm), but it would appear I cannot have anything big enough unless I also want it to be able to double as a bathtub, or have it with an included draining board.
We’ve had this problem on the last two kitchens we’ve done. The solution the last time was to put in a huge trough in the laundry next to the kitchen. This time I have simply given up as there is nothing suitable for the task that is aesthetically acceptable.
Perhaps have a stonemason cut some polished stone slabs to a suitable dimension and glue the thing together yourself - some kind of industrial (visitor-attraction scale) aquarium adhesive should be both strong and flexible.
It’s certainly possible to bond Corian, as @edd9000 knows. Whether it could be thermoformed deep enough to form a sink by someone who knew what they were doing e.g. this lot https://www.counterproduction.co.uk/corian-fabricator/, who aren’t far from here, I don’t know.

From what I’ve seen, Corian products start at expensive and then go up into scary money territory. £5k for a bathtub for example, and that’s a mass produced product still, not a custom one off.

For stuff to be cheap it has to be mass-market. Modern houses, including their kitchens, are small. It’s like big speakers these days, I guess.

The majority of the medical staff in this sad & tragic event. Worth reading to the end, but very sobering.
Absolutely sickening.
Horrific
Poor cunt. I wonder how many more there have been, and will be…?
In 1990 I developed a headache that was literally (not figuratively) blinding, noise made me puke, I was covered in rashes, I couldn’t walk, speak coherently, or do much more than piss in a bottle and sleep.
After two days of it, my partner, who was an ex-nurse, called a GP out. He was a locum, didn’t examine me, and decided I had a migraine despite no previous history. He prescribed fuck-all and left.
Day two, different locum, exact same sequence of events. By this time I was delirious.
Day three, my own GP (a highly experience older lady), returns from holiday, spends about 15 seconds looking me over and calls-out a blue-light ambulance. I’m mostly unconscious by then.
I was admitted to Winchester General Hospital with suspected meningitis. There I was stripped naked and put into a backless hospital gown, laid on a bare metal trolley without the usual cushion and parked in an unused side corridor because no beds were free…
EDIT: should have said - this was done to bring my dangerously high temperature down quickly…
Three whole days later a cleaner noticed I’d been there three whole days and mentioned it to someone who actually listened to them…
By then I had meningitis and hypothermia and kidney-threatening dehydration…
Funnily-enough, a private-patients-only side room was suddenly available - in which I spent 3 weeks recovering.
My ghost would be tapping this out on a burning laptop in hell but for the fortunate fact that the meningitis was viral and not meningococcal, and that cleaner.
Cognitively and psychiatrically I have not been the same since, and was out of both my job and my relationship within a year.
I should have sued, but what’s the point of punishing my fellow taxpayer? Those truly responsible would have closed ranks as they always have, and always will. And TBH, I had my work more than cut-out rebuilding some kind of life, career, personality, etc.
Don’t get ill chaps.

So much this…
My Nan was IMHO killed by her consultant. She went to see her GP and was diagnosed with a twisted bowel.
In all she went into hospital 4 times to have an operation and each time it was cancelled because her consultant had prioritised a private job over hers. After 4 months she was taken to A&E by ambulance and given an emergency operation but died from septicaemia.
I looked into the consultant and it turned out he had 3 previous complaints to the GMC for dropping NHS patients over private, a death by negligence case that the GMC found in his favour and a current death by negligence case that was actively being investigated.
I let it go as my Dad didn’t want anything done as it would just cause emotional grief and wouldn’t bring her back. To this day if I ever meet that cunt I would clock him one without a thought, pause or regret.

This makes me so fucking angry. I worked for 5 years in operating theatres, and particular consultants routinely cancelled lists or parts of lists so they could fuck-off to their private hospital. Understandable when in 1987 they were struggling-by on upwards of £100K for their NHS post…
If patients were lucky the Registrar was left to finish, less lucky: Housman, worm food: cancelled outright. I used to rage about it, but the entire management were nurses and ex-nurses - brainwashed to suck medical cock and ask no questions, like good serfs…
Still, if the tories are in again, we’ll never make it to hospital in the first place…
