Did anyone else watch the program about our future King the other night. I found it very entertaining and loved his story about the butcher and the black pudding. I felt he came across as a very nice person who is kind and thoughtful and his wife and sons, clearly love him very much.

Framilode - I agree with you as well.

Re the Royal Family having their own personal supply of blood. I know the guy that used to be the personal pilot for the \King of Saudi Arabia. The King carried around with him the man that was going to be his personal heart transplant if needed. This man had a wonderful life and travelled everywhere with the King. However, he also knew, if necessary, his heart would be taken from him and used for the King.

Oh my goodness. Shocked!

How many countries have medical teams who would be willing to kill a healthy man so his heart could be given to another ?

Some countries will refuse to use a blood donor from Britain since the BSE crisis - Australia for one.

Yes Jalima that was the case here in France as well. Not sure if things have changed now.

Jalima1108 Thu 15-Nov-18 20:10:05

I think they may be the same in Australia sodapop
