All I had to do was provide my availability to respond as if it was a real major incident. My contribution is receiving a text and sending an email reply!

Yep, doesn't go to 70 until after all lanes have joined (round the bend if I remember correctly)

Well I took a very small part in it today from the comfort of my sofa, but there's quite a lot of my colleagues there at the moment.

This is significantly bigger than the Tower Hill exercise!

I'd like to be able to get a Big Mac meal at any time of day/night...

It sounds like your lifting technique may be incorrect then.

The CQC do regulate SJA though.

Couldn't agree more. One may not want to see their parents or siblings, but the family probably do want to see them. Sometimes you have to do things you may not entirely want to.

Happy christmas everyone. I'll be at work.

I'm not sure that's a good idea: there would be no quality control, no ability to recall faulty equipment, and no control of the competency of the person using specialist kit (plus, if something did happen, using unauthorised equipment would almost certainly invalidate the insurance!).

What I presume happened was that after a full clinical examination the paramedic decided that a GP referral was more appropriate than an A&E admission, and kindly took your friend home? Finding the correct location of the incident is the most important part of the call. Call takers therefore...

Absolutely. Clapham Junction a couple of years ago in the rush hour isn't something either the railway or the emergency services want to repeat. That is a myth.

You're over-thinking it. As long as the train stops at a station, it doesn't really matter which station (especially in London, and especially the difference between New Cross and London Bridge). Proximity to an A&E unit is irrelevant really, as the ambulance crew may either not be conveying the...

Or it wasn't anything to do with the police at all! --- old post above --- --- new post below --- That sounds to me like an issue with their driving. Organisational policy shouldn't stop them from driving safely, which surely includes using audible warnings in enough time to allow people to...

There are a surprising number of complaints about siren usage, but I wouldn't think it would be sensible for an organisation to tell their drivers not to use them!

I see people daily who either refuse to use their mirrors at all, or are just too thick to move out the way of an emergency vehicle, without either making the situation worse or carrying out a dangerous manoeuvre.

You'll still need a paramedic or doctor to declare the person deceased before the body parts can be moved or cleaned up.

Such a disorganised rabble that they have banks, oil supplies, heavy weapons and have orchestrated terrorist attacks in relatively secure countries. I don't think you're as good a military strategist as you think you are...

Goodness me, how inspired! Better go and tell the RAF that, must have been where we went wrong in Iraq.

If a driver can't deal with a lane hogger calmly, then they shouldn't be on the road. --- old post above --- --- new post below --- And this is why signs telling you to slow down on a motorway should be obeyed: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-34986092
