As one who doesn't like football it means nothing to me.
 
It is rather like knowing what the stopping distance is at various speeds it means very little because most people can not actually "measure" that distance.

Speckles, if you play or watch football its a bit more than the penalty box. I can relate to the conversion problem, I was teaching semanship and wanted a sign made "Think Metric" the girl in the graffics said how big did I want it? I said 2 foot squre will do.  Wounder why she gave me funny look!

Hi everyone, this is my first post so please be gentle. Currently doing a Certificate in Health Studies with the Open university. My objective is eventually to work as a Paramedic, obviously a long way to go but i need a goal.
Due to a medical condition I cant apply for my C1 license, hence its unlikely i'm going to be accepted by the NHS on a standard driving licence (so annoying i passed my test Nov 98) so thats why i've decided to do the OU course.
I've read all the usual first aid books so pretty up with basic first aid however have no certification to show. Is there somewhere that will offer more than basic first aid in Cornwall?
To be a little more precise i'm in Penzance in Cornwall and looking for some active rolls be it paid or voluteering, any suggestions?
Many thanks Paul.

Was she with the blue rinse brigade?
I've been out a few times on duty and seen an "experinced nurse" cleaning wounds with cotton wool.
You done everything correct and by the book, if she was such an experienced nurse then she would of known about infection control and the like!
As for the ambulance member, that was sheer rudeness on her part!!!

Ian, if you were confident with what you were doing then I would say you did the right thing. To be fair, how were you to know she was who she said she was? ID? You were there first, you seemed to have the situation under full control, great job in my opinion! (maybe place a coat or blanket under the casualty next time? Just a thought?)The Nurse reminds me of someone I once knew!! ]]> Wed, 27 Aug 2008 17:30:15 +0000 http://www.FirstAidCafe.co.uk/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5206&PID=40191#40191 Your Questions - First Aid : Electricity Arching http://www.FirstAidCafe.co.uk/Forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5526&PID=40190#40190 Author: speckles

Whilst it is all very well saying keep 18 metres away from an HV cable how many people can mentally work out 18m. After all most men don't know what 6 inches is. (well thats what Mrs Speckles tells me, and all her friends)

Have just thought of a use for Garry Glitter, get him to take a tape measure to the cable then the rest of us will know where to stand. (assuming he gets there)
