I think that GB has personal health problems from what I've read. He was always okay on newsgroups, but has turned a bit nasty recently. I don't know him, but I wish him all the best. |

It includes - and this is important - an estimated value of the deceased person's rest of life productivity, which must be quite difficult to estimate accurately. So that bit of the figure has to be taken with a few pinches of salt. It also includes "human costs" which means that a value is put on the distress and losses caused to bereaved relatives, friends, etc. I can see that in these touch-feely days, one would want to value such losses, but whether it ought to be done in money - and how that should be done anyway - is far from clear. Overall, it does not mean that £1,690,000 is the value of emergency services expended on dealing with the incident. The figure for "lost output" will be the biggest part of it. Most of it will be expended or incurred even if no emergency services are involved. |

The Paramedics will be on duty. The only costs are consumables. If I chose to drive to work tomorrow the costs are fuel and parking. I own a car so the fixed costs have to be paid whether I use it or not. Car tax, insurance, MOT and annual service are spent anyway. |

There's no reason to be ghastly to others just because my life has taken a turn for the worse. I'm hoping I'll go through a couple of major operations and emerge more or less okay. Or I'll die, which is second best but okay. It's the third possibility of surviving but broken that is so upsetting. I know that people do soldier on with terrible problems, and I admire them for having the courage, but I'm dreading that outcome. Definitely DNR. I don't know him, but I wish him all the best. Thanks. Appreciated. |

What's your excuse, Chiselman? I was being serious regarding a respected poster who I have read for many years. You are obviously too stupid to understand this. Now, just go **** off, you stupid lump of **** and don't come back. |
