Is this a demonstration of you being a mad cow? [smiley=icon_eek.gif] Look pretty mad to me! Where's Stevey, anyway? He'd enjoy this.

This is the Coffee House where crazy people talk about crazy things [smilie=Stupid_grin.gif] . But, yes, it's a great shame that NZ doesn't want our blood and that they haven't got some system to test the blood for any unwanted nasties. Such a waste. They've lost me as well, as I left the UK in '98 so I can't donate either. Was a regular contributor in the UK and no one complained then.

It's their loss and the situation will only get worse as more and more Brit immigrants come into the country [smilie=Yes.gif] .

Back to topic, mostly because I missed out on all the jolliness as it happened...

Even here in the States, at least at our blood bank, they ask if a person has spent more than 6 months since 1992 (?) in the UK. They have other disqualifying stuff, too. I wonder if you vowed that you had been a vegetarian all that time, or even hadn't eaten beef, if they would take you. I'm not sure if they have a blood test for bovine encephalitis, or even Creutzfeld-Jacob disease (the human equivalent), but perhaps its cost is too prohibitive to use as a screening test. That, or it requires dissecting your brain, which would limit your usefulness as a repeat donor ::)

A step in the right direction?

EU to lift British beef ban
Friday March 3, 04:46 PM

BRUSSELS (Reuters) - A 10-year European Union ban on British beef due to mad cow disease looks set to be lifted next week, an EU official said on Friday.

"The feeling we have is that the ban will be lifted at the vote (by EU veterinary experts) next week," the official said.

Italy may try to block the deal, blaming upcoming elections there as a reason not to vote on the issue, the official added. However, the vote will be by qualified majority and the executive European Commission is confident that Britain can answer any outstanding concerns other member states may have.

The beef export ban was imposed on Britain at the peak of the 1990s mad cow scare. British beef exports to the European Union were halted in 1996 as the brain-wasting disease, known formally as bovine spongiform encephalopathy (BSE), spread through the country.
