57

I have been getting to work early most mornings this week ,because schools are on holiday and the numerous 4 x 4s are not taking all the little 'Tarquins' the 100 yards to school!

I never go to the premises early though, choosing to park up for a few minutes on a road nearby and have my breakfast (fried egg, bacon, sausage, beans, toast, all done in the microwave plugged into the ciggie lighter socket)

This morning was slightly different as staggering towards my car was a young chap clutching his chest and in obvious pain. There is a doctors surgery nearby so I watched with interest as he made it to the car park and then collapsed!!!

I shot out of my car, spilling my toast and beans onto the road and made it to this chaps side just as the Doctors receptionist got to him. ( I still remember my first aid and understand now that you have to do chest compressions to the rhythm of the song Nellie The Elephant??)
I offered to ring an ambulance, but at that point, running from the surgery came a doctor carrying his medical bag. The chap on the ground, looked up and could have set eyes on any one of us, but no.....the first thing he saw, was an undertaker looming over him!!!

I don't know if he made it or not, as I was then running late.

Hope the poor chap made it and his last memory was not of a bald headed funeral guy covered in beans and toast!!!
