Yes the blood service have been sued (more than once) for people needing dental work or from suffering other facial damage because they have had a delayed "dead faint" and crashed to the floor an hour or more after donating, hence the reason for asking what your job is. Thanks @wild edges I will look at that site.
I’m the same type as my maternal granny O neg. I wanted to donate as she did for her whole life until ‘they stopped me because I’m too old’ as she described it, but ‘they’ stopped me sooner than that 🙄Â

Somebody asked recently about interesting things recently learned. Here’s one. When the Viennese researcher Karl Landsteiner first identified, at the time, three blood groups - A, B and O - the third non clumping group he called number 0 and not letter O.
I am O- too but have never been able to give blood because, as a baby and toddler, I had malaria more than once. Blood technology has evolved so I could give blood now but only in the UK.  Neither France nor Belgium accept British blood if it lived in the UK in the mad cow period.
You're sharing an office and your wife is burning scented candles ... hmmm 🤔
It's for atmosphere while she's doing online therapy sessions  What kind of atmosphere you get from a smell like someone found a dead cat on fire and tried putting it out by weeing on it I don't know.
Have you had Covid ... a friend who had it back in March now has a strangely distorted sense of smell.Â

I used to give A+ pints. Then I became diabetic and phoned the blood service to see if I could still donate. The young lady on the phone told me that I should stop taking insulin immediately, and she'd put me down to donate in three months time.
I thought for a moment, then just said thank you and put the phone down. 😇

Absolutely brilliant description of how I feel about all scented candles and similar devices to fire strange smells into the room. They all have that horrible cloying scent (stink) about them and actually make me feel ill if I'm around them too long. My sister-in-law has a movement activated one in her downstairs loo (I deliberately avoided saying motion activated because I know you lot) and the bugger fires at you when you go in and again when you prepare to depart.
We never ever burn candles of any sort ... OH says they affect his chest ... even plain ones. I suspect it may be the paraffin wax and that good quality beeswax ones would be fine, but why spend that much money and then find out I’m wrong and have OH wheezing all night. We don’t do smelly sprays in the house either.Â

Those plug in things are hideous beyond reason. I had to rent a house for a while, and there was a very strong 'damp, neglected' smell as the house had been empty for a while, so I got one. Vile. I don't mind the odd candle, but only for a short while. I find all perfume overwhelming, yet I have quite a poor sense of smell. Must be certain things.  "(I deliberately avoided saying motion activated because I know you lot) " ...but you didÂ
It's a place where beautiful isn't enough of a word....

Both my dad and daughters had transfusions in the late 90s so I felt obliged to replenish the stocks that my family had drawn from.
