Simon and Garfunkel are coming to mind now, thanks
RR, I understand where your coming from with the "last two sentences"... Lol I have been known to do running repairs myself on buttons & tears...!
I feel good old fashioned victorian values should be applied here.
Come to think of it...?!
I have also been subject to a good "grilling" from an over protective dad in my youth, even though the relationship was purely "plutonic"....
Another occasion it was the mother who had consumed about 3 bottles of red one early evening while I waited on the front room for my date to get ready..
This "mother" after an emotional praising of her daughter, turned the mood even darker by crawling across the living room past the coffee table from her couch to my adjacent seat & proceeded to aggressively nibble on my ear...! There was absolutely no doubt about "Mrs Robinson's" intentions.. & she nearly got caught out by the daughter....
All good protective upbringing....!

Not a bright spark....I am confused lol!
Hahaha oh dear! Who was the one in the wrong....you or the ex haha And will doSorry, just a humorous reflection of my youth when meeting the family of the "date" went a bit weird...
Funny enough, I bumped into the girl's (by this time an ex.) mother at a pub gig about ten years later..
She was still drunk & nearly broke my keyboard stand when she fell over trying to get at me...!
Google the 1967 film "The Graduate". & you'll know what I mean...
It was complicated from memory.. She was insecure with the possibility of "biological clock" intervention & I had just got a place at a college in Surrey.. She gave me a hard time about it & I cut loose from the situation.. Neither of us were mature enough to have family & ethically, I can only guide my own life...!Hahaha oh dear!

No harm done then lol!It was complicated from memory.. She was insecure with the possibility of "biological clock" intervention & I had just got a place at a college in Surrey..

I can't stand that song Rude lol!! xNicola have a listen to the awesome Simon and Garfunkle and as for yester years protocal listen to a new band called Magic and Rude which is the title. Its from the young mans point of view to his future wifes father. Ps watch the video too . X gosh i do feel over the hill now lol
Yes finally someone who agrees and isn't being so negative lol!I don't think your partners idea is too bad. Its getting it to work will be the problem. Why wait for the government to do nothing when there is a great resource here. Why couldn't This site or its sponsors start a card. the card could be like a prepaid credit card say 2 or 3 quid, enough for a can or two. It could also be marked diabetic use only with what to do on the reverse. That may help reduce any confusion a hypo may create.
Maybe even a cover for your own prepaid credit card would be all that is needed. Again the cover cold have instructions printed on it.
You know the government wont do this but in theory its the right thing for someone or corporation to do.

Me i know lol but thats because i was asking if it was lol!Lol Hang on...?!! Who titled this topic "Stupid idea by my boyfriend"?
Granted, I feel the concept is flawed.. Think along the lines of garage "fuel cards".? Not all garages take them, which can be sometimes the only means of payment for an employee driving a company vehicle...
Shop staff training. Regarding educating any misconceptions about diabetes, & understanding the cards application.
Setting up the tills to take these cards by whatever means, so "stock control" is balanced.
Then there would be the issue of the reimbursement to the business concerned with this "hypo card" transaction & setting up these accounts.?

He posted just before you lol!Well I for one would like to welcome this young fellowmelad..!
I personally think this is a good idea! 1) people on low income would benefit from this a lot. 2) If you work, Could have a direct debit set up that adds a certain amount each month. 3) This could save lives! Most of you say it's a stupid idea but I bet 90% of diabetics would get it! Yeah the government would never go with it but as someone said a charity maybe? Please no hate, This is only a concept remember!
Peace.
