I was telephoned by one of your colleagues in the West Country this morning; it must have taken a bit of ingenuity to find my number. Anyway, I am glad they did - I was able to "stand down" the ambulance that my confused 82-year-old mother summoned to take her to the health centre because she had forgotten it was Saturday today, she thought that she had missed an appointment and panicked. Oh, yes, because she has had a number of small strokes, her speech is pretty well unintelligible - the ambulance personnel could only make out the words "flu jab". Rachel in SE7
