"If You Want Blood, You've Got It"

I gave blood this morning for the first time in about 3 years. However, I'm sorry to report to all those Mail and Telegraph readers out there, that the experience of giving blood in Scotland is far, far more agreeable than it is in England.

How so, when the staff are every bit as professional, the procedures are identical and the facilities exactly the same? Well, the difference is in the quality of the refreshments afterwards. There's nothing wrong with orange juice and chocolate bourbons, but where's the Tunnocks teacakes and caramel logs that you get back home?

Very disappointing... I feel like someone's run off with my last wine gum... ;-)
