SaligoBay Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 [quote user="missyesbut"]on my way home from work last night, the blood transfusion service was in my community hall so I walked in to do a good deed and give an arm's worth. !![/quote]Obviously not a Brit in France, then. British blood is still not accepted. They're not overly keen on gays either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the UK the standard is a pint. Very nearly an arm's worth, as a certain resident of Cheam once noted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted June 15, 2006 Share Posted June 15, 2006 >>>Very nearly an arm's worth, as a certain resident of Cheam once noted<<,<Cassis! I did feel like Mr Hancock once they'd finish with me. To be technical, yes, I reckon they had a pint out of me... Never had a pint taken so long to be pulled!... I know these things, I used to be a barmaid in my mis-guided youth!....>>>Obviously not a Brit in France, then. British blood is still not accepted<<<No, I am a Frenchie in UK. They were a bit bemused about it but needs must and I was OKed. I had to answer the stupid question about 'ethnic minority'A/ Are you white British B/ Are you white IrishC/ Any other white backgroundSo plumbed for C as I am white neither British nor Irish.... Actually the question is not that stupid as from some minorities they can detect certain blood types and illnesses like sickle cell disease which I think mostly black people can suffer from.Why ever not don't they accept British blood in France?... Weird.... They won't ask so many questions when they have an emergency! I remember a question about CJD on the form I had to fill in, so maybe that's why?....Never mind... I am a mad cow anyway...

Cassis Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 [quote user="missyesbut"]Well, on my way home from work last night, the blood transfusion service was in my community hall so I walked in to do a good deed and give an arm's worth. I was OKed by the nurse as fit to give... so... Came home to a chilled glass of Chablis to replenish.HAHAHAHA!!![/quote]Surely you should have had a pint of claret?

Missy Posted June 16, 2006 Share Posted June 16, 2006 [quote user="Cassis"]Surely you should have had a pint of claret?[/quote]It should have been just that I get terribly off the rail with it, sort of turn into Mrs Green Hulk. My OH calls claret the red infuriator... So I avoid it on marital grounds.... [:$] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
