O/T Blood Donor - My Blood Comes Back to Yorkshire.

Excellent ELK. What a good thing to do.

This prompted me to check the prohibition on people who lived in the UK 1980-96 from giving blood in the USA. Apparently this was lifted last year so I'm going to look into starting. I also need to look at the problems associated with giving blood and taking blood thinners. You can do it but it depends on what the reason is for taking thinners in the first place, apparently.

There are still restrictions here in France regarding the mad cow episode.
I’ve given a pint per week for the last year to reduce the iron in my system. Mine is thrown straight into the bin.
Regarding the blood thinners. They use an anti coagulant in the bag they fill to stop it clotting.

Everyone should give if they can.

I must say that the French don’t give biscuits and a cup of tea.

You can have a full meal! I usually have a cheese sandwich a cup of coffee and some fruit.
However I have become quite fond of the charcuterie with pickles!

Apparently it’s custard creams or naked penguins in the uk!

The difference would blow your mind 😂
