    Actually where I use to give blood they were basically next to each other. Though I doubt you got a mince pie at Christmas plus a mug and odd red blood cell soft toy at the STI clinic....

      In some cases if you leave enough time e.g. ATWs mosquito bites you can give blood after a year.
      I think in my case it's the former due to the likelihood of anaemia.

      Though I bet people are squeamish about all sorts of non communicable diseases. I wouldn't want a transfusion only to discover I'd caught Brexitism.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

        Many other European countries ban donations from people who've lived in the UK. They pretend it's about vCJD, but it's actually Brexitism.

          Complimentary umbrella perhaps?

            Many europeans couldn't handle having proper British true blue blood flowing through their surrender-monkey veins. The same can be said for many homegrown spineless weasels.

              Well as the resident genetic mutant vampire, I shall say nothing other than carry on,

              The way you feel the day after a transfusion is great – much better for you than illegal drugs

              Thank you, to those that do give blood

                  As before

                  Although I have not had to have a transfusion for 6yrs - yay for prescription drugs!
