Hospital says sorry after patient's cock tale | Society | The Guardian

As she recovered in accident and emergency, the 64-year-old from Oswaldtwistle asked the ward sister for a glass of water.

"Right, cock, follow me," came the reply.

Offended at being so addressed, and by someone in a sister's uniform, the patient made an official complaint.

I remember that yerself, the womans pots for bluebells, she used to write letters to the Obs too

Perfectly normal pracise over here A-b, at least once per cheek, between young people three times is normal.

It's a nice custom. Means that all are relaxed and there is no "personal space" to invade -a bit like doggies sniffing each other I suppose!

Always liked being called "Chuck" or "Duck" myself.

Here it's usually "cara" or "caro" = dear.

You won't find me complaining, just grinning.

As like Mobertol, you may be introduced to someone for the 1st time and you are being kissed on each side of the face. I wonder how that woman would have gone on if she had been in either Italy or Spain where kissing on each face cheek is common practice.
