I've not read the report, but I did look at the photo of the vehicle - and it wasn't obvious that there *was* an ambulance sign on the bonnet or sides. There's also a certain degree of function creep in the use of the word "Ambulance". Is this a Fire Engine: http://www.ukemergency.co.uk/fire/dcp00999.jpg No, it's a fire chief's car. I don't think they are new - ISTR having a Matchbox model of one about 35 years ago. Roy |

Whereas it seems that *any* vehicle connected with the ambulance service seems to have "Ambulance" written on it, even when it doesn't have a primary patient-carrying function (any more than the fire chief's car has a primary fire fighting function). -- Roland Perry |
