Feckin eedjits. I cannot imagine what goes through an adult's head to turn their backs on another adult - unless they're a murderer, convicted paedophile, was criminal etc. I can only surmise that these are young adults in a "creative" field, rather than fellow physios? I do hope so. It's workplace bullying. And insanely immature. As for spitting at someone on the street - WTF?
I am someone who avoids Edinburgh during August (if you're a tourist, pleeease buy an online ticket or have the correct change ready before getting on the bus!) and I am not able to get back this year but after reading that article I'd be back in a shot with tickets for every remaining evening if I could.
I'm sorry Elaine that you're experiencing this rubbish. Years and years ago we chatted on some threads about the importance of pelvic floor strength post pregnancy and how the French healthcare system provides French mothers with a much better service in this area. You've been in my radar since (I'd never 'met' anybody else who knew how important it was, so you stuck out!). I love what you've achieved and love how you've gone about achieving it.
Go and have a big Alandas ice cream and a stiff drink later. Don't let the feckers get to you, or at least don't forget we're behind you.
