[Margaret Pilkington]

Many years ago when I was on night duty, the ward I was working on overlooked the old casualty department at BRI.......one Saturday they brought a big man into Cas with a broken nose and multiple cuts and bruises....It was well after the pubs had shut. After he was treated he swaggered out into the Casualty Yard, within minutes there was a screaming like you never heard before.....this little woman was waiting for him in the shadows and proceeded to finish off beating seven bells out of him......the police were called and the chap was admitted to one of the wards for his own safety. The racket woke up all my ladies.....and I spent the next half an hour making them tea and trying to find out what had gone on.
I hope my little story doesn't count as being off thread. It IS history...it happened about 30 years ago!
