UPDATE.....
Just been in touch with John's Wife, Sandra.
He's doing well in Blackpool Victoria hospital, ( Might be able to see the illuminations... Lucky sod ;-0)) ) and waiting for some further tests to be carried out.
He's comfortable, and now behaving himself.
Apparently, in the back of the ambulance on the way to hospital, he was ringing people up to arrange other fittings and job cover!!! Typical.
He's likely to be in until at least the middle of next week.
She sends her (and his) thanks for all the good wishes, and all the comments on the thread.
I will try to pop in and visit him on Monday to see what size his boots are?
and report further.
I don't know, some people will do anything to get out of opening the door to the 'trick or treaters' h1d1ng2
Murt.
