Bridget and Mrs G... me too. I still can't help but giggle at the imagery, but feel cross that it was deemed ok to raise funds that way.... the mind boggles!

Bob, I don't think I actually watched a Carry On film right through... they always made me feel uncomfortable as a youngster, even though the innuendo went over my head... but some of the actors make my stomach churn even today, looking at anything with them in. Strangely enough, I didn't mind St Trinians, but I think the smut was more subtle, and so less obvious to innocents in that.

Ann, that made me chuckle too... what a clever little political dig, lol

Stray, lolol

OMG ! Iwhen I read this thread I had to look as I trained as a nurse at one of the more famous London hospitals...Thank God it wasn't this hospital.
However it made me chuckle but also made me angry....
Just wondered if anyone from the hospital had a "bit part"

Now I have started laughing....

LOL reminds me of the "Doctor" film where the nurses used a daffodil as a rectal thermometer

That made me laugh. I have a vision of all these patients hanging onto their drips and tottering down the corridor towards the "empty" ward to peer through the gaps in the curtains at the action!

Begars belief doesn't it? However I have to admit to a chuckle at the following sentence

"Although I cannot claim to have seen the final picture - as I understand, these things are no longer claimable on parliamentary expenses - it was a big-budget affair and generated substantial income for the hospital."

"But apart from cheering up a few of the in-patients, it cannot be said to be contributing to the objectives of the primary care trust."
