It's seven am, the start of my shift, and I'm 'single', at the moment there is no-one for me to work with. However I've phoned our resource centre and I've been told that I'll be working with a mate of mine who is coming in for a bit of overtime.

I think I'll drive the ambulance today - after spending nearly a year away from the 'Truck', I could probably do with some practice.

An ambulance is a bit wider than a Vauxhall Astra, so if you are driving (or walking) in Newham today, be wary of the ambulance weaving it's way down the road occasionally clipping the wing mirrors of parked cars...
