Pick Me Up Help Please

Hi,

One of the answers for pick me up is BLOOD BANK and I was just wondering is it all one word or 2 words please? The puzzle its on usually is a 1 word answer and the dictionaries online seem to suggest its 2 words, so its got me a bit confused. The spell check on here is flagging it up as a mistake too and is suggesting its 2 words. Any thoughts?

Thanks as always.

Alison :)

    Hi Alison,

    Just typed bloodbank as one word into Google and in the search results it automatically seperates into two. And all the search results it comes up as two words. Cannot find any that display it as one word.

    Hi Merced5,

    Thanks so much for the help. I shall put it down as 2 words and put a link into this thread. I do agree with you personally. I just went on the Give Blood website and typed in bloodbank and they have it down as 2 words here on the 9th bullet point and I suppose they would probably know the correct way seeing as they deal with blood everyday!

    Thanks again for the help :)
