I was a blood donor for more than twenty years in the UK but they won't take blood from UK citizens here in the Netherlands because of 'Mad Cow Disease'. Christina

Bec, the stickers make all the difference don't they! I have encouraged my boys to become donors, with their 17th birthday cards the got application forms to become donors, but it's exactly what they would have expected with me as their mother! I also point out that it is a Blood Bank, what right do you have to expect to made a withdrawal if you can't be bothered to make any deposits! I can be a little harsh...... Suex

Sue - I understand that but on average out of every 20 of my friends only 2 of them 'cannot' give blood. In fact most of my friends are healthy and young (19 - 35). The rest of them simply don't want and don't care. Yet it's probably these people who'll be more than happy to accept a transfusion. Each to their own and obviously it's up to the individual, I just find it sad and at times frustrating. Ultimately it's 40 minutes 4 times a year... AND you get free biscuits/crisps/squash/tea/coffee/stickers! lol xxx

There really are a lot of people who can't give blood these days, the regulations have become so much more strict, in the light of more and more transmisible diseases being found. Then there are the people for whom giving blood would be hazardous to themselves. Then those who take medication, which when transfused to someone could do them harm. And then those poor people who really do have a bad reaction to the process of giving blood. They are all valid reasons for not donating. At work, all the bright young things toodle off to give blood on the appointed day, come back and want to know why I don't give, and although it's not really a big deal, I am no longer required as as donor, mainly because of the medicationI I take. But why should I have to explain it to them? So please don't be harsh on people who don't give, there could be a million good reasons. Suex
