I used to donate regularly, marked it in my small book, and turned up like clockwork. But sadly I was in englandshire in the Eighties, and now I'm not even allowed to donate for research.

@uc @vicgrinberg in Oz, they give you a card and a keyring, with your blood group on it. I still carry mine.

In Germany you get a meal after donating at some travelling centres.

@uc @vicgrinberg same in Oz. They put on a big spread. All you can eat. I was doing keto at the time and had to bring my own.

@skribe @uc they also give you a keyring in the NL with your blood type! Mine broke after several years, but they gave me a new one. And car stickers - I got one for each of my two bikes 😂

No keyring given out here. But the cake is usually good. That's the bit I miss most.
