I forgot this bit:

I passed my test in 1976.

Ok.

Mind out, you'll be in Pounders database of test takers!

Wasn't the ex-troll, Medway Handyman's daughter a cycle
responder?

I don't know.

I don't suppose he will let us know now as he, along with "Judith",
has vanished from Usenet.

It would be difficult to trace them, because there are just too
many
bridges to check.
They could be under any one of them.

I must admit that it is a lot better not having to killfile so many
people though. At one time there was Judith, Mr Benn, Medwit,
Cheerless and Nuglet. I do not count Mr Pounder as he is a decent
bloke underneath his angry exterior.

Beyond the pale; threatening people with a chisel.

Which I have never done. It would be good if you apologised for your
ignorance.


Bull****.

All single responders have been fully trained to work on their own. Our
motorcycles carry the same life-saving equipment as ambulances,
including a defibrillator—a machine used to restart a patient’s heart
when they have had a cardiac arrest.

We currently have motorcycle responders in central London, Hackney,
Tower Hamlets and the City of London.

Cycle Responders:

Patients are also getting help more quickly through the Cycle
Response Unit which accesses pedestrianised areas of the capital which
ambulances cannot reach. The average response time is now five minutes
but can be as short as just 60 seconds.

The LAS is now extending the 100-strong "ambulance on a bike" team with
a new unit at Islington. The eight existing teams already cover areas
including City of London, Kensington, Canary Wharf and Heathrow Airport
and major outdoor events. Tom Lynch MBE, London's first cycling
paramedic and the scheme's founder, said more patients were receiving
care more quickly because the cycle paramedics free up ambulances for
emergency cases.

The former British BMX champion, now manager of the Cycle Response Unit,
said: "What started out as an idea to reach patients faster in central
London traffic is now attending thousands of 999 emergency calls a year.
The basic purpose of cycle responders remains the same: getting
life-saving care to patients as quickly as possible."

Each paramedic has an aluminium-frame Specialised Rockhopper bicycle
with bullet- and puncture-proof tyres, carrying the same essential
life-saving equipment as normal ambulances - apart from a stretcher.

Has the NHS moved over to bicycles instead of ambulances, then?

I hadn't heard that, but you've obviously got it from somewhere.

Where was it reported? A link will do.

Where has anyone claimed that?

Why don't you just type out a link which shows that there is some
substance in what you claim?

You said the NHS should use motorcycles rather than pedal cycles. Clearly you think you know better than the NHS.

Go ahead, make some pedantic little point to show you didn't actually say this.
