Glad to hear that you are still with us ON!
Was in an old ambulance once as a kid and knocked off my pushbike by a car coming out of a T-junction.
Had the air-ambulance team visit me when I keeled over at a client in pain from a bad back.
They were based in the building next door so no need for the helicopter, but the two doctors arrived in a rather smart Land Rover Defender.
Same feelings re getting out of the way of emergency vehicles and huge respect to the crews.
I once worked with Jane (Janie) Omorogbe (Gladiators) and she became an ambulance driver for a while before she became famous. Absolutely lovely girl.
I also had an ambulance take off my offside mirror in Surrey Quays when I first got a company car. I was right up on the pavement but it was a tight squeeze and thought, se la vie. He needed to get past more than I needed the mirror :-)
Weirdest one was being stopped by the police on a single carriageway A road in the south east and watched the air ambulance land in the field adjacent my car.
A car had hit the back of a bin lorry and pinned the dustbin lady to the back. All turned out ok in the end as the bins and metal work of the lorry had cushioned the impact.
