Skink   10 #1 Posted December 10, 2021 Just idle curiosity really  I wonder if Christmas is different in A&E - are there more accidents related to gifts than alcohol over the festive period?  I am getting a Slackline for Christmas and hope not to end up n hospital, but guess there are other "dangerous" gifts Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Lots of drunks turn up and try and jump the queue. I did a short stint in A& E when I was a nurse, and one night a drunk flattened the nurse I was working with,  with one punch, who was trying to make him take his turn in the queue. Now they have security men on duty.( what is a Slackline ?) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Skink   10 #9 Posted December 11, 2021 Knew someone who worked in a kitchen equipment store  They reckoned there was an increase in customers cutting themselves when checking to see "how sharp the knives were" at Christmas . . .
