Okay, prepare yourself for an urban-legend-style connection.

My Mum used to work with a woman whose Mum is the Practice Manager (chief non-medical honcho) of the second-nearest surgery to us. She contracted swine flu. In a minor way, but she passed the £20 test. Apparently this is what medical staff (semi-seriously) use to categorise their patients. You think you have flu. You're gazng out into the garden/ yard/ back wall. You see £20 fluttering in the breeze. If you go and get it, it's not flu.

I've not heard of anyone else with it - despite my parents' ridiculous paper trumpeting 350 deaths a day!!! (potentially). But I admit I know very few people anyway. My CPN is ill, but that's the thrid time she's been off sick since April.
