Everyone should donate blood, if they are able, obviously ther are a few people who are not able to donate, so the rest of us should step up for them.! About 5 years ago, I needed an operation which then required me to receive four units of blood. Only 3 were available in the entire hospital, which meant I took a lot longer to recover. This is the easiest thing to donate, and costs you nothing, just an hour of your time, every three months. Can you think of a reason why you should not donate??

It's a real shame that they won't let us Brits donate. I used to give blood all the time in England and would love to feel that I could make a difference here too.
If somebody needed blood and the choice was using mine (with a very minimal risk of contracting Mad Cow) or going without, surely it's a no brainer? Or maybe they could have a Pommy blood bank so my English blood goes to other Brits now living in Oz!
