Shouting loudest means nothing

Presumably the people responsible for drumming. up new donors have decided their money is better spent elsewhere.

Thanks Richard & An Ankou... you've confirmed my original post.... nevertheless who are 'the blood people' An Ankou? Who come round without the need for asking?

Don't know anything about platelets so can't comment. Is there a shortage in the UK?

The way it happened with me, as a blood donor I got a letter telling me that my blood was suitable for platelet donation. This is of more use than the standard blood (especially so for cancer patients and post-op, if IIRC). So not a shortage, as such.

That's a sick reply from someone who's served their country

Anyway back at the ranch.....

Ultimately its the Établissement Français de Sang, but who puts up the signs "collecte de sang" + time and place, on a local basis, I don't know. I'm sure it's not question of "without the need for asking", as it's a regular thing and part of the village cycle of life (no pun intended).
Anyway Twogun, don't you think you, yourself, have done a good job of confirming your original post?

Why sick? The blood service have finite resources - some allocated for recruitment/retention. I'm not part of that decision making process but presumably they advertise where they think it's most effective.

That's the point my friend

I work with kids with support needs, mental health issues and autism.

I also brew beer.

Sorry. It's a point lost on me, but I have dedicated the day to our annual beer festival and pie-eating competition so, perhaps, I can be excused for being a bit more cretinous than usual. I'll take another look in the morning.

Did you win?

 

[Twogunrocky]

Dedication to anything requires a certain amount of retardation, so you can reply when you're aware of your surroundings once again

It was my festival so I had to maintain a modicum of decorum. So, no.
But then again, yes, as I've got the beer and the rest of the pie to tuck into at my leisure.

People get bent out of shape over nothing, and try to manipulate things to their advantage.... sad state of affairs.
