According to Wiki 35% of the UK population have A+ blood... um...sorry. LOL. Not quite as common as O+ though (37%).
B+8% AB+3% O-7% A-7% B-2% AB-1%

Interesting!

I've just been catching up on my genetics and I don't think it's possible for me to have Rh- blood because both parents are Rh+ so I'm thinking I'll be happy with AB+ at 3% of the population LOL

I am B+ and have tried to give blood loads of times. Always end up having to be given oxygen because I pass out. Doctors have told me to give up

Mum is O, don't know what Dad was. He had blue eyes, Mum has brown - mine are hazel. Brother and sisters all have blue eyes. Dad always said I was the "coal man's"

Excuse any typos, using daughters laptop and half of the keys are missing. ???? !!!

So if I am an 0- am I common too?? Lol I hope you know I was told I was special too!!

~Summer Scribe~ Report 24 Oct 2008 00:49

I think O- isn't fairly common, but it's special because they can donate to any other blood group.

Is anyone else having issues with genes tree at the moment... god knows what it's doing but it has a husband and son married to each and his wife is his mother who is married to her daughter in law...miraculously the two women have a son (my 3xggranddad) PMSL and the more I try to straighten it out, the worse it gets LOL

ETA I just closed it and reopened it and it's fine now. Silly thing!

With a tree like that I wouldn't be worrying about your blood group, I'd be getting DNA tests :-)))))))

OMG... how can I be sure that what I'm finding out from the extracted info on IGI is right? I know I need to look at original parish records but when all it gives is "William Belcher 26 DEC 1714 West Hanney, Berkshire, England, Father: Will Belcher" How can I be sure that it's the same William Belcher that is the father of William Bap 1738 in West Hanney?

Because this is looking too good to be true! LOL

Back to blood groups (and don't you two (Susan with numbers and SueM) ever go to bed???

I last had notification of my blood group in 1961, but, unless someone has siphoned all mine off and replaced it I assume it is still the same! ARH neg. And neither of my kids knows what their is. and I don't know what my parents were either. Think OH is O+

And back to the original topic. yes the boards are slow, I wouldn't say sterile because there were some interesting threads yesterday, but definitely slow because of fewer people posting. shame, but they will recover. And there is impressive support on here still for those of our members who are missing through illness and any others who are on here and poorly.
It is still a good meeting place.

I am sterile now, lol, in more ways than one.

Bev, my advice, if asked for it, would be...... if you find the boards flat and uninteresting, or sterile... then liven it up! Put up threads which debate, make people laugh etc.

We have to make our own fun sometimes and not expect others to keep us amused and entertained.

Love

Daff xxxx

Morning Daff,
And i agree with you (of course!!!). If we sit back and let the boards die we have nobody to blame but ourselves. So let's get going with some more lively debates and some fun threads (I don't mean more A-Zs....please not).

Going out in a mo to fetch papers, then have a load of apple chutney to make (penalties of having an apple tree Lol!! But I will then try and put my words into action.
