Yes. But I was told that you are not given the tea and biscuit afterwards but something stronger, not sure whether that is true though.

I tried to donate blood here a couple of years ago and was flatly turned away due to being British...they won´t take our blood due to the "risk" of CJD...

Not even from vegetarians! I´ve been vegetarian since 1977 and they still wouldn´t have my blood! http://www.donantesmalaga.org/prensa/prensa44.htm

I could only read parts of the article as my Spanish is very basic but from what I read it refers to people resident in the UK during 1980 - 1986 - so surely anyone who has been a vegetarian all their life should be ok!

It apparently doesn´t matter what you´ve eaten during that time, it´s the very fact of having lived there....

I was a regular blood donor in the UK, but no go here due to mad cow disease, shame.
