air ambulance

A regular ambulance? Have you tried driving round Kensington recently? You can barely move. I have stood and watched ambulances at a standstill largely due to the fact the traffic is so chocca cars cannot move in any direction to let them through. Chances are a motorcycle paramedic arrived on the scene first and called the air ambulance (just a guess) based on his/her assessment of the casualty. If I was that injured cyclist I would be truly grateful to those guys in that Virgin machine. I have to say though, the crew were very very lucky in one respect, the traffic wardens in Kensington and Chelsea normally clamp any vehicle not parked properly within seconds of the driver getting out. And they'll probably get a congestion charge bill through the post within three days.
