In my early days as a punter, I used to apologise to the SPs I saw in the Parlours of Greater Manchester for my appearance. In particular, the fact that I not only have a hideous scar across my as the result of an operation to mitigate the effects of my congenital disability but I've also had four toes amputated.
I remember going through this little script with Melinda, a BBW whom I saw in the Parlours in Bury and Salford around 2005 or '06. "Oh that's not a problem", she replied. "I'm a nurse, and knew from seeing your back what your medical problem was."
I never thought to ask if she still worked as a nurse on the days she wasn't an SP.
