Sorry to hear that about your friend, bloody horrible situation.

In the end, you can get all the theory taught to you, but when push comes to shove, the adrenaline would probably take over in the situation.

Cheers mate. I never met him actually. I moved to Southport in 2014 and went to the nearest pub, The Anglers Arms. ( 3 minute walk from my unit. ) It's there that I met her and later all her family. It had happened just a few months before I met her. Kiwis, great bunch.

We became great friends. I moved away a few years ago and still keep in touch with her on occasion.

But yeah as you said, I imagine a lot would kick in real quick. Hope I never have to do it though.
