Luckily some very kind motorists stopped, called an ambulance, and called me. Despite being told it was a young lad with a head injury (his head was bleeding) and query spinal injury (thankfully there wasn't) the ambulance never came. When phoned again they said they had none to send.
He was very lucky, an off duty medic (think he was a trainee as he said he wasn't qualified to check for spinal injury) stopped and helped, then after around 50 minutes an ambulance response car was passing and we flagged it down. After being checked over he was happy no neck or spinal injury, and he took us to hospital, who I have to say were brilliant at checking him over, bandaging 2 particularly nasty grazes and glueing his head! He really was so lucky.
So sorry, Ladyshopper.
Disgusted that cuts to ambulance service left him in that position though.
Am currently listening to the boyzone concert that is taking place about a mile from where I live, and I can hear through my bedroom window!
So sorry Ladyshopper, that he got a bad deal.
Other side of the coin. My niece is emergency rapid response in London. She dealt with humongous stuff on 7/7. This is a transcript of a call she received yesterday. A lot of her shifts are taken up with calls like these.

Me: "good morning, I'm Sam pleased to meet you. How can we help you today?"
Patients friend: oh you took your time! We've been waiting hours for you lot to show up! 999 what a joke, could have got a bloody taxi quicker ...... She's over there finishing her cigarette . We think her drink was spiked"
I give up.
Thankfully, she doesn't give up in RL. I have lovely testaments to the people that she's saved. My very own special :A.
Good morning everyone .0 -

If anyone is doing any BM shops (they dont' seem too fashionable right now) then based on my BMs being exactly what I thought they would be the following must be comparing
SvA
jammie dodgers 90pv50p (plus 50p cb with st)
9 pack velvet £4.50v£3.75 (try me free but I should have done vT for extra 25p)
smiler pizza £2.25v£1.25 (£1 moc)
pepsi max 2l £1.98v£1 (30p st, 100 bonus points on nectar app)
That shop generated a BM and £3 off £20 till spit that I then used on
SvT
Innocent pots £3.89/2 for £6 v £1.95 (pearly barley, thai coconut, indian lentil)
both the £2 and £3.89 mocs scan at those valuesApparently, everybody knows that the bird is [strike]the word[/strike] a moorhen0 -
Never heard of ebico. Will check it out tomorrow. Thanks
Ebico are really good if you are a REALLY low user, as they dont charge a daily rate, just a higher rate per unit of use. If you are a slightly higher user, they can still be useful to switch to in the summer, then switch again just before you need the heating on via a cashback site.
