Those people who do not currently give blood and are able to should seriously consider doing so!
this is gonna hit supplies quite badly i think (eg my brother gives every 16 weeks and has a rare type but can no longer do so due to receiving a transfusion when i was 9!)
as fast driving people we should consider the fact that we may well need blood ourselves one day!
