I went with Kirk to donate blood to the Red Cross. I knew that we used to not be allowed to donate because we lived in England, but I thought it was a 10 year no-donate or something, so I decided to try.
Before you donate, they want you to read a binder full of information about donating, then have an interview with a staff person. I skimmed through the manual and saw nothing about England, so I went in for the interview. It turns out there is a page that discusses people who have lived in the UK for over a month, but it was labelled something else like CCBI or some other non-identifying acronym. Anyway, the interviewer was a bit cross with me and printed me up a rejection letter. She had me sign it and told me never to come back.
So, immediate Groneman Family, don't try to donate blood.
