Too many people with extrinsic/intrinsic allergies thesedays.
For example, when I little I can only remember one kid in the whole school who actually claimed to be genuinely asthmatic. He'd always be sat at the school reception, making histrionic wheezing noises, the school nurse rubbing his back, waiting for the ambulance to arrive - whilst us normal kids walked by, giving him pitying and disdainful looks.
And do you know who that boy grew-up to be...?
Because I have no idea, can't even remember his name.
My point is, bring back National Service!
