Best footballer of all time? 10 letters
Er.. Lionel Messi? No that’s 11. Um..
Diego Maradona? Nope. That’s 13
George Best. Has to be.
Bingo!
Football fan Irene?
I got into it when Ray was small. Ray knew all the players, so I made sure I did too
Didn’t need a Dad with Mum around
How’s the pain in your leg now? On a scale of 1-10?
6?
or 10, if it gets things moving a bit
Come on now…
I’m serious! You’ve been on the list for a hip replacement for 18 months nearly, and now with this fall… We’ve been out here how long? 8 hours?
Not Iain’s fault
No but… we need to see a real doctor. No offence. How much longer are we talking?
It depends on other priorities
Queue jumpers? I’ve seen enough of those already
You don’t want to be sat out here either, do you? You need to be back on the road. Doing the job you signed up for.

Oi - you on the phone!
Sorry?
My mum’s been queueing for hours and you’re making personal calls!
I’m on my break - let me find a colleague
Passing the buck? Sounds about right
Excuse me. What’s this about?
Irene McKenna
Ambulance 3… She’ll go to orthopedics as soon as possible but I’ve spoken to the site team and unfortunately there’s still no bed-
And you think that’s good enough?
No actually I don’t. But I don’t have a magic wand.
So how much longer will she have to wait?
And if this is the first time you’ve experienced this then you’re lucky… because this is how it is now and we’re all working flat out
Right
