More critically, was looking forward to coffee and biscuits but was directed through a door.... and out of the building! No refreshments because of social distancing

I remember that the advert was that you got a lot more chocolate on your biscuit but it's decidedly thin now.

I fainted, the only time, but have donated ever since. So 33 years on, another notch on the post. Biscuits available, no hot drinks and you were restricted to the donation chair, no mingling allowed.
