"Queen! That IS torture in the name of privacy."
We heard that some blood banks play music to stop confidential conversations being overheard. It has some donors seeing red.
If you want to give blood - perhaps while listening to Queen - find out more HERE, HERE, HERE or HERE.
"I haven't hit anyone since, other than my children and then not often."
After a thief sent a note of apology to a shop he robbed in 2001, we offered you a place to say sorry. Read the heartfelt and the tongue-in-cheek HERE.
"A small certificate. Surely to God they could spare that?"
She's "a whiff off 90", but former Land Girl Jean Proctor is still ready to take on Hilary Benn to ensure that all Land Army women receive a token of official recognition... even if they've passed away. She won't stop.

I SO agree with the blood donor about the dreadful music. i too am a recent ex blood donor because of the loud music, accompanied by the staff singing along! why can't they have radio 4 on instead? it doesn't have to be music and whilst i want the staff to enjoy their work, it shouldn't be at the donors expense. i don't go to hear music or singing. surely our comfort should be paramount? AND i hate queen. i might change my mind if they played the clash.....

Surely as you mentioned, shouting over the top of loud music makes your conversations less confidential not more. I fear your listeners who don't like the music have been written off by the blood service as being Radio 4 listeners who therefore don't count.
Here in Australia I couldn't tell you whether they have music or not - I'm not allowed to give blood as I lived in the UK for more than 6 months in the early 90's and am therefore considered a risk due to Mad Cow Disease.

And why should she? Jean Proctor, that is...
Why on earth should she..?!
Can we get a PM Blog petition going on this..?
I'm not sure whether or not the "Brits" (like me) don't know/remember our history (recent or, long since past) or, don't wish to know, because of possible financial implications.
Whatever.
"We've" treated people who've served us, abysmaly!
War Widows, Disabled Service Personel (from all conflicts), Service Personnel from the Commonwealth (how many of us today know that, for example, there were Trinidadian Spitfire pilots in WWII?) and... DO NOT GET ME STARTED on the Ghurkas - thank God for Joanna Lumley...
A small certificate. It should be an Earth-sized plaque..!!!
