I have to confess that I’m not heavily into the Internet and definitely not blog sites, Twitter, Facebook or anything else sociable (grumpy woman syndrome). There are two blogs I do highly enjoy and that’s one by our friend Mrs Fink and the “Adventures if Shouty Grandad” which has me chuckling away every time, and the other one is my very own Mr Fogg and his various “Victor Meldrew” moments.

So when I spotted a book at the airport on what so far seemed to be based on a rubbish TV Series called Sirens (pitched as Green Wing meets Friends, 30 Something’s and all that), I initially passed straight by.

So imagine my surprise when after picking the book up it’s actually the published blog of an ambulance driver in the London Ambulance Service. It’s fab, funny, witty, has Mr Fogg type rants and stories equalling those of Shouty Grandad. Its also rather moving, poignant, inspiring and very very human.

It also tells you a lot about society now, the real pressures on the NHS and how inept our society seems to have become when people honestly think it’s ok to call an ambulance for a broken finger, stubbed toe etc.

A truly good read and I’m addicted.

Hmmm, I wonder if our travel stories would make a good book……
