THAT'S WHY GOD GAVE US PLIERS:
I pulled out my own teeth (TREVOR KAVANAGH, 3/31/05, Daily Sun)
TONY Blair yesterday faced a woman who pulled out SEVEN of her teeth after failing to find an NHS dentist.Great-grandmother Valerie Halsworth, 64, removed them with her husband’s pliers.
She pulled out a seventh tooth over the weekend before meeting the PM in Coventry yesterday.
If more folks were like Ms Halsworth maybe National Health wouldn't be collapsing. Posted by Orrin Judd at March 31, 2005 7:57 PM
Stakhanov would envy her.
