Sorry but it made me a bit angry - how arrogant. Although it's always something different if your own child is involved I guess but anyway.. Can't afford a cap? Well I always thought your child's safety and health should be more important than the 20 quid for a taxi to the nearest hospital and as far as I am concerned the benefit system in this country is quite good (too good) but maybe I'm wrong. They should have emphasised that we are talking about a toe here and that's ridiculous even if it's about a child that age. Everyone should have some painkillers at home (and hey, you get them for less than a pound at Boots) but maybe I am wrong about that as well. In my opinion your priority system worked quite well here for a change *g* It's just bad press and that's.. well, NOT nice is it :-)
