My other half had to be taken to hospital today for an asthma attack (he's being kept in overnight). I cracked a joke with the EMT (nice friendly Scottish fellow from Paisley, didn't catch his name) about nicking blankets from hospitals whilst the nurses' backs were turned. He gave me a very funny look - as if to say, "how did you know about that??" I guess not all your collegues read your blog! Incidentally, should one of your collegues mention in passing a guy taken to Whipps Cross accompanied by two ladies with pink hair.... the younger one was me. ;-)
