I was born between the bridges which makes me a true Enniskillen person(Enniskillen.N.Ireland)Actually I was born in the Erne Hospital which is built between the bridges but sounds good anyway.

My daughter had her third daughter on her sitting room floor cos the midwife didn't get there in time,even my husband and I got there before the midwife and we lived 13 miles from them and was just in time to help my son-in-law deliver the baby,this was all due to the hospital not contacting the midwife until 2 hours after my son-in-law had phoned them.she is nearly 5 yrs old now. sue
