There is no competition in this issue, but if anyone would like to sponsor another one, please let me know. In the last issue we ran a caption competition using one of the stills taken from a video which was shown on Channel 6 of TLC TV.

The video showed two medics utilising a drag lift on an elderly gent. Usually a caption competition attracts funny answers, but these ones were more poignant, reflecting how you feel about the drag lift.

Each of the winners will receive one copy each of the Assisting People 2006 DVD as sold for £117.50. The winners entries are listed below.

“Sorry we gave you such injuries the last time we dropped you, lets try again!”

Lesley Wonnacott; Northern Devon healthcare trust

“I don't have the heart to tell them I can do it myself - how else would I get this much attention?”
Bronnie Thompson; Canterbury District Health Board, New Zealand

“I’ll pull the chair away, you do Elvis Presley impressions and we’ll make that bloke with the camera panic”

Eddie Cameron; Freelance trainer, London

(whispering in his ear) “If we drop you, hang on to the other dude.... he’s bigger than me.”

Sue Sutton; Freelance trainer, Birmingham
