From the Guardian, Saturday colour magazine Saturday 5th April 2014
The guys from the bungee company visited me in hospital. They were very apologetic…
You can read the whole story on the Guardian web site but really, why bother? I think the 1½ sentence version has more impact.
I like the end of the second sentence, it rounds things off nicely “They were very apologetic….. and astounded I’d survived”. The bungee company guys were lucky they weren’t sued for their lack of common sense, lack of basic first aid training and for using an old and worn out rope that broke.
