Going back to t'NHS blunders, I dislocated my collarbone from my shoulder, whilst racing, well, crashing, at Croft. Medical staff told me to go to hospital. I went to Darlington hospital, where they x rayed it, gave me t'x-rays, and told me to go to mi local hospital. I went to Chesterfield Royal, where they decided to leave it to see how it healed on its own. After about a year, mi collar bone was still sticking up, and mi reyt shoulder was about 9" below mi left un. They decided to fit a "Lars ligament", which attaches to mi collar bone and inside mi shoulder blade, and lifts mi shoulder back into its normal position-ish. I was laid in bed ont mornin of mi operation, wi our Gert sat beside me. A nurse, and t'anaesthetist had been to have a chat wi me. Another nurse came about 30 mins later, and drew an arrow on mi thigh, pointing to mi knee. I was somewhat bemused, and our Gert asked nurse what she was doing. Her reply was "so the surgeon knows where to operate". I could hardly talk for laughing, so our Gert asked if it was a new technique, where they go in through mi knee to fix mi shoulder!! T'nurse scurried off, then came back and drew an arrow pointing to mi shoulder.
Whatever their faults I have to admit that I love the looks of the Daytona's and the Sprints, particularly the RS which, for some reason, especially in Acidic Yellow looks like some sort of crouching was or hornet but with a cheerful look on it's fizzog.
