So after 16 years, a new manager has decided the station cat must be evicted due to “infection control/allergy concerns” of which no complaints have been received. Please sign! He’s the sweetest and cheers up hardworking frontline staff no end #SaveDefib change.org/p/save-defib-t…

Hard to see from grainy footage, but isn’t that an EEAST truck, presumably on a transfer? I don’t think any LAS crews would ever drive down Regent’s St, even I know not to. Satnav issue really

Further inspired by some interesting chat in response to this - how important would you consider a manual in the big sick?

Anthony Marsh at the Covid Inquiry now, stating that ambulance staff and paramedics had the ability to upgrade their PPE as they felt fit, even when they were queuing for many hours at hospital… 🤔 This is contrary to my research findings in which crews a) did not have 1/2

This was a terrible situation for any ambulance staff to be in - knowing they could help but needing to put PPE on first and losing valuable time. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

I once attended the wife of a very famous actor on a private jet at Luton airport, oblivious to him behind me. She was fine, so we chatted whilst I did the paperwork. I asked her surname… “spelt like the actor?” - “yes he’s right behind you”

It’s brutal. My dad quit his job to help me. There is not a single family friendly shift on my rota, 6am starts, 3am finishes. Shift overruns etc. I would not be a paramedic if it wasn’t for my family stepping In.

Listening to a paramedic with a young baby on Radio 4 saying she will often be away from home for 15 hours a day when she returns to work because of 12 hr shifts, overruns and commute. Can't imagine how you work childcare roudn that.

My 4y/o playing with her duplo cars: “…and the baby is sick so we have to take them to the hospital….and the mummy has to drive because daddy had toooo much alcohol…”😬 They always find a way to make you look like a terrible parent, don’t they!

Watching the Olympic closing ceremony: the French still underestimate how long it takes someone to walk (or parkour) from A to B and overestimate how interesting it is to watch
