DESCRIPTION:
That good idea led to three, unbroken decades of round the clock emergency work. He joined Birmingham's Metropolitan Ambulance Service in 1977 for little more reason than it seemed a good idea at the time. He is the holder of the Queen's Medal for Long and Exemplary Service. . Les has two children and still lives in Birmingham with his wife, Marie-Madeleine. His father's subsequent career moves led Les and his family on a whistle-stop tour of England
At the age of twenty-three, Les Pringle decided to escape from office life, broaden his horizons and become an ambulance driver. Little did he realize how broad those horizons would turn out to be, as told in this heartwarming, true story of life on the frontline in 1970s Britain.
