^ Nope.
I lived in London during the 80's
Currently living back in the West
(after Thailand).
The Red Cross here says 'thanks, but no thanks'.
Previously I used to donate because I rode Motorbikes for my living, so understood the need.
The Farm Father (my future FinL) was in the Navy.
Had his lower leg blown off from an IUD while serving in Southern Thailand.
He gave so much blood over the years he had a medal/certificate from the Thai King/Princess for his contributions.
My Thai Partner gives here, but has to wait 3 months after returning to the West after living in Thailand.
