Come back to the future
I thought at first they were policemen – two men in yellow dayglo standing outside the shopping centre with their serious looking loaded bikes. But as I got close it was clear that they were in fact St John Ambulance.
They’ve come a long way since the days of my youth when the ladies wore grey dresses & black hats & carried white canvas knapsacks.
And, although much of what I was taught is well out of date now (triangular bandages!), I learned a lot about how to cope in a crisis from my teenage training with them.
But how strange to see cycles make such a comeback in so many areas.
