@BBCNews Unbelievable waste of money. The cars aren't selling because they are too expensive and no-one pays full RRP anyway. The discount will just enable the garages to put money in their pockets and put prices up.

This is about supporting Chinese Vehicle Manufacturing, not British!

@StuLittle1972 Stuart, the times I have been FPOS (chain of survival - CPR/DEFIB!) updated EOC/crew prior to arrival, supported on extraction, travelled with crew due to risk of pt going into Cardiac Arrest, extra pair of hands. Crews here respect the CFR's.
Your great, they need to learn.

@StuLittle1972 Stu... can you use these bew / additional skills as CFR .... eg "Enhanced CFR"

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@CFR_Nick @StuLittle1972 Yep... learnt my lesson on cat 1 and I arrived before triage completed... last triage question. "Any Covid in the house..." Always door step challenge 🚪and always level 2 PPE (mask, gloves, apron)😷. ... not a Cat1 ☹

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@BLIPS_LW Totally agree Lee, such a tragic incident. Great response by all and I hope all involved are getting supported.

@ResponderJames @Will_SWASFT @swasFT Well done James

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

Well Monday was a really busy night volunteering for @swasFT part of @devoncfr. Deployed to Cat 2@ 20:30, next 15 miles away for 3 calls. Result: 2 patients lifted, 1 referred, 3 🚑 not required... brilliant work from Hub Clinicians. 40 miles later at 04:30 to 🛌

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@CDResponder Well done... challenging times with long distances and waiting on crews to become available.

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@BethMatthewsz Archie says hello 👋 and sends a smile. (Well a brain freeze after doggie ice cream 🍦🤣).

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@hashem_sharifa Say Happy birthday to Jess and have a great day you two.

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@cfrcraig @swasFT @devoncfr Had to watch but booked on after game... straight off to Cat1 🤷🏻

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@stuart1109 What can I say... always willing to go the extra mile but 52 minutes to a Cat1... thought about borrowing a Powerboat 🚤🤪

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@EdHill0 @swasFT @RUHBath Crack on Ed, you will be great. Enjoy yourself. 👍

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@lives_of_riley @BodminResponder @swasFT Sorry can't help at the moment... Enjoying Cornwall too much at the moment... but back on responding at the weekend. 🤣

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@ResponderJames @swasFT Well done James on getting on the ECA course.

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@HonitonCFR Mike, never good to get a CAR1 ... but two in two days is a bit busy. Was that on Bristol Ambo shift or CFRing?

[Barry Catton @bazacat]

@cfrcraig Well done mate. It is always about being available and doing all you can. Great to have a welfare call.

[South Western Ambulance Service @swasFT]

Did you know only around 1 in 10 people survive a sudden cardiac arrest in the UK?

You can make a big difference by learning CPR today. ❤️
