Forgot to mention Shirley from Save the Whittington campaign. She has done a fantastic job.

And what about those who don't work, Miss Cara? For whatever reason. Some of us have our heroic moments too. Like playing the recorder at the Whittington, as a group of us did yesterday lunchtime...STOP LAUGHING, AT THE BACK THERE! There are several heroes at the Whittington, of course. Shirley, and others in the campaign have done a splendid job, but the real heroes are the staff, including Sutent, if he (?) is one of them (??)

Sutent

Checksi I have worked at the Whittington this year but have now moved on. Staff are not heroes we get paid to do a job and are very lucky to work in the NHS. Its a shame its coming to an end. <div><br></div><div>Thank you for playing the recorder. Its so nice to have generous volunteers in hospital lifting spirits with music. Checkski I nominate you as a hero. </div><div><br></div>

Misscarai - definition of hero here is one who in their job or life has made things brighter in SG for others. Chang

krappyrubsnif

On that basis I nominate the Sandilands family who have been keeping the lights on here for a hundred years

@Sutent Re para 1. I wouldn't put it like that. You are working with a vast number of sick and distressed people. Ex- and ongoing patients are profoundly grateful for the care they receive. It doesn't have to be like that - just read some of the horrific stories of cruelty to Alzheimer sufferers in some care homes. So -yes - for me - hospital workers - all of them - are heroic. Re para 2. Come off it! We were only there for half an hour, excruciating the masses, all 10 of them, with jinglebellian fare. I believe we raised £15 for the Whittington Social Fund. Heroic, or what? Thanks all the same, Sutent!

Sutent

Checksi the point is that you got off your ass and did something very kind. To me that is heroic

miss annie

That comes under the heading of making things brighter for others I'd say. Well done you! Thanks for the nomination Chang, honoured and flattered. My vote is for Paola for her bravery in opening a new restaurant on Fonthill Rd and the talent and flair to make it the roaring success it clearly is - packed every night!

Misscara I think your missing the point. Lots of people do those jobs but some go out of their way to be extra kind or be extra helpful or even smile. I have written many letters to companies/shops/industries if I come across these people to reinforce their good work. Unfortunately we only hear when things are done badly or go wrong. <div><br></div><div>Chang this is an excellent idea. Why don't we give the winner a prize? Am sure there are lots of goodies from Concept we could give them. <br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div>

In my eyes there is no difference between a shop worker who is kind or a scientist who spends his whole life night and day trying to discover something that will change the world or the kind nurse who is sympathetic to the patient on xmas day. All these people are heroes as they are contributing something to society in their own little way and should be praised.

No we are not all heroes. You may think you are. I certainly am not. We will nominate those heroes that deserve this prestigious award.

ChangN4N6

Missivara it's not 'service' of the have-a-nice-day variety (which u know from the crazy conga days of Chapter One you really are good at), but its a bit of flair kindness and individuality eg the guy who announces the Victoria line trains with pride and concern if a child gets pushed or beard pinched. If you get one of his mates it's just flat. So not heroic. He, however is a potential SG Hero. Chang
