I have no idea of the answer here :p But I got a free Bupa teddy bear at The Baby Show at Earls Court :p :D

I have to pay for mine. If it's not allowed, I'd like to know detailed reasons as to why. I could never afford to see a doctor or dentist if I didn't have insurance.

My grand-uncle had a heart attack about a week ago. They took him to a private hospital. But the hospital wouldn't even admit him before he paid up. They charged him R60 000.00. His son-in-law had to go back home to get the money. So it's really tough if you don't have insurance. He didn't. :(:(:(

You've mentioned you had teachers... If i may, who are they? 'Ulemaa of Ahnaaf?

You know Maulana Bham and some of the others?

[Hafsah]

i think its different in countries where there is no other alternative, whereas in the UK we do have the nhs

hmm...
