1st post, long time reader 1stly... apply for the job, as you should let fate decide if you are good enough for it 2ndly, whatever happens, keep blogging. It is always an intresting read 3rdly, thanks for the link to the "Ambulance Nut - Learning the Ropes" Blog, another one added to my must reads Keep up the stellar work, and you were great on the radio show (oh, on a side note, there was a Train Guard on the phone at one point, who said that they would go and help an injured person. I am a train driver, and I too would go help an injured person, but not if there was an attacker with a knife/gun etc standing over the injured party - I have been spat at, and punched enough in this job, not to get knifed too! My job has a high enough "risk of death" for me, thanks!)
