Did you say anything to the man with the people carrier? Is it taboo to point out innapropriate use of the service? I suppose people just panic. My friend, a mother of four, used to say her criterion for whether or not to call out a GP was to imagine that she had no 'phone, that it was pouring with rain and that the nearest 'phone box was a mile away. If she would have walked to the 'phone, that meant she should call a doctor. It seems that dialling 999 is actually a reflex! Still never mind ey, you're back. By the way, while you were away there was an absolutely crap set of programmes about LAS, well I only saw one, which was enough! Complete missed opportunity, badly filmed and full of drivel about patients after they had got better, sitting smugl in hospital. It could have been so good! We'll just have to wait for Jen to get her degree in Film Studies then she can make a better one. She and Claire are back from a good weekend at Reading Festival.
