Did you have your newborns photo taken by the Bounty Lady?

and did you buy it? Was it responably priced? Nice photo etc.

How can they say the photos are for 'security reasons'?? It is a blatant lie. They have no rightful connection to the NHS other than giving them a cut of the money, hence why they are allowed.

And it doesn't matter how lovely the woman is....she is paid to be lovely - she is a sales rep. It makes my blood boil.

Nah. Said no and Bounty lady was perfectly pleasant and not pushy at all.

I signed up
to bounty ina post hormonal haze. And have had legal and general on the phone flogging home insurance three times now.

I hate the patronising 'congratulations on your little one,' from call centre-bot and all the fake 'how are you doing,'before trying to sell you lots of things you don't need.

I had forgotten the Bounty lady but you have all reminded me and brought on a bit of rage! I had a CS at 27 weeks, my son was extremely tiny and it was touch and go whether he would survive. So obviously he wasn't there to have his pic taken, but in hindsight I am outraged that this woman was allowed to come into the ward and speak to all the mums. Nothing personal, she was alright, and I was nice to her as had spent several days putting a brave face on things (and was drugged up to the eyeballs) but they should ask permission to visit IMHO.

Bounty women are an ourage as far as I am concerned. Have no idea why it is considered appropriate for sales reps to roam unhindered around NHS wards.
