Correct, I often get knocked back for donations because my iron level is too low.

Is that right Twink?really, I'm O Negative and I thought my blood group was THE most common one of the lot!

Well, I'll go to the end of our road !
If I had known that before I let the District Nurse take 4 phials of my precious, rare blood I would have insisted on gold tops for the phials and special storage of my rare blood before testing it.

See Art, Just 6% of us ey? I bet that beats yours and I haven't even got a green card! No doubt, they will phone me personally if and when it goes into short supply.

Mmmm, I will have to suck it back in rather than put a plaster on next time I cut myself.

Take them.
A pint of Guinness contains only 0.3mg of iron, less than three per cent of daily adult needs.
