    He probably thought he could just walk it off or have a cup of Tea and Scones to feel better.

    He then calmly walked to the home of his neighbour Steve Francis, knocked on the door and said to him: "Please help, I've cut off my arm."

    Mr Francis, 49, said he "wasn't screaming" and appeared "as relaxed as can be" despite the blood pouring from his wound.

    No shouting and screaming - not even mild yelling and cussing. No undue haste...

    Note that he knocked his neighbours door, doesn't say which hand he used...

    Loved it.

    Now I want to be British when I grow up. Dignified, calm in a crisis.

    Hi

    I do agree that sums a British attitude.

    I had a very bad accident, and was waiting for 3 hours whilst they decided what to do. Then a doctor asked me and the nurse what painkillers i was on , when she said none , he turned to me and said "you must be in pain , why did you not complain ?" My elbow was in pieces . i could feel the loose bone floating about . I said to the doctor " i would not dream of telling you how to do your job*

    I soon got a morphine drip!

    Btw i agree about the Del boy clip

    Regards David
