this will have to be my technique as well, as I can't drive, the buses won't be running, blagging a lift will be more or less impossible due to people drinking, taxis charge extra at Christmas and the fare to the hospital is well in excess of £10 at normal times, and I'm stuck on benefits... Will the ambo peeps take "Tom Reynolds told me to do it" as an excuse, if I give them food, tea, and some goodies to take back with them?
