The debate about home birth on the NHS made me smile.
I am 92 years old. I had (thankfully still have) two lovely daughters, one born in 1944, one in 1947. I had a local midwife in attendance - nothing "ferried from the hospital", just the midwife, who often came in afterwards as well.
When I asked how much I owed her, the answer was, "can you manage £5, dear?"
Those were the days.
