Okay

 

A) The 'self-centred' reference was referring to another poster who suggested that a system be put in place to suit their particular preference on donating.

 

 

They have improved the system, and it now does not need my blood, if it is not improved, why change it.

If they want to save money, and make me wait, that is a very poor system. I have called in at around the time that I used to go, and I get turned away, it is not me refusing to give, it is them refusing to take it.

Then why not just book a slot in advance at the time you used to go?
