Indeed. I remember when our second had been born (in Queen Marys hospital, Sidcup) we were so impressed with the care we'd received, especially when compared to our first birthing experience in St Johns, Chelmsford, that we asked the nurses/midwives if there was anything that we could buy them as a thank you pressy. They asked for a toaster and kettle as they had been stolen from their staff room the week before (by Romanians who had given birth in the unit, they said)
