      Well done. I used to do this but the last time there were complications and they asked me to stop. For anyone wanting to start, it's very easy to do.

      Wouldn't have me ... something to do with childhood jaundice.... That was a mobile unit in the works canteen and during my first month of work after leaving school.

      Had a very good friend who made a century of donations. 

      I have twice been on the receiving end  of the blood transfer system. Just two "units " in total.

      On hold at #42 while undergoing some medical investigations. Mustn't B negative though, but I actually am....

      Well done, and I'm still hoping to go beyond the 50, having started a bit late in life really.

  3. Friday 13th - actually it's been a good day for me - was told my raised blood sugar level was a minor blip and I've not got diabetes :)

      You might get some puzzled looks if you said that to someone from Newport.

       

      There, the "SDR" means the Southern Distributor Road - a section of the A48 trunk road.

    4. Horsetan

      How about a T-gauge marshalling yard? Or possibly even Paddington Station and its approaches in T-gauge? Kings Cross or Waterloo, anyone?

      Classic cars, traction engines, fairground rides, guards van rides, chance to 'cab' a steam or diesel loco, model steam train rides, plus the normal train timetable. And lots of Cornish sunshine.... ( I blame 2manySpams)
