You don’t always get a Paramedic come to your door though......could very well be an AAP (Band 4) or an EMT (Band 5).
 
Oh jeez Richard Madeley to interview Mick Lynch this morning. Both Madeley and the Tory fella on gmb desperately trying to paint Lynch as a liar and the grinch. This interview could be… interesting.
 
**** sorry was about half seven. Madeley just talked over him and mentioned World War One.
It was very embarrassing of Madeley...his co presenter had to step in and shut him up.
Lynch was very close to losing it in reply, but just about hung on in.
Madeley would not listen, and when Lynch actually gave an answer, he talked over him. Embarrassing

Found it……..Madley at his usual “Patridgeesque” best, while Mick Lynch acts as cool as he usually does.
I’m sure Andrew Haines will be ok this Christmas…..£590k a year buys an awful lot of presents.
