an england remnant



I needed a band-aid the other day. I dug around looking for one, reached down into the bottom of the bag and fished out - a plaster!

"Band-aids" are "plasters" in the UK, and they are always blue because apparently it's the law or something. I don't know but I only ever saw blue ones. Health and safety.

  1. these are the same type in our first aid kit at work (added after your departure) - I like them because they are squashy.

  2. In the restaurant biz they have to be blue so you can see them if you drop them in food. Gross.
