In Germany they used to pay donors, not sure if they still do or not, but they'd come onto camp with their mobile vampire units to get some "Tommy" blood. We weren't allowed to be paid so we got bikkys & a brew instead, plus the chance to skive off for half an hour.
Then when mad cow disease kicked off in the UK they wouldn't come anywhere near us after that unless we'd not been to the UK for a year. Brought a whole new meaning to the question "Have you got any English in you ?".
