FAIL

He's ninety years old, ex-army.

He's slipped on the ice coming out of his house, we are sent to the call as 'Fallen over, leg is at a funny angle'.

We get there, he's broken his leg all right. He's lovely, the family are lovely.

He has waited one and a half hours for an ambulance.

I am furious. He has been laying on the ice for that long without an ambulance. I've just come from the hospital - the police have been bringing in patients with possibly broken ankles because there are not enough...
