Sorry to hear about your daughter and hope you won't be too long in A&E.  I used to have what I thought of as a "season ticket" for our local hospital when my three were young and we built up a very freindly relationship with the staff over the years but it's no fun sitting around for hours.  At least at this time of day you will get in the queue before the drunks. On the subject of the Hearth tax etc , are there any Cuffs mentioned as my husband's family were in Somerset way back then? However, priority to your daughter, my enquiry can wait. Many thanks, Janet
