Paul talking about nurses in a hospital radio interview from 1983
What do you think of the British nurses? Â
Now I really do think they're angels. You know obviously you go over the top of it, but if you've been in hospital you know what I mean and if you've had someone near you be in hospital… Our daughter broke her leg last year and she was in traction for four months and they're marvellous you know. They do stuff they don't need to do - they're really great. I mean of  course my mum was one, so I'm biased, but no, I really do think they're incredible. In fact [mumbling] when… when the nurses were looking for a raise, I actually sent a telegram to Mrs Thatcher saying "You know now…come on look," you know. I was warning her that she might have another Ted Heath and the miners  situation on her hands, where the people of Britain believe it should be done. Like they believed it should have been done for the miners. There are certain cases that really are very deserving. So I think they're great and I'm not just saying that!

Could I ask you to send a message to all our nurses?
Oh yeah, easy! Well now girls… gather around your sets, plug your earphones in. I'd like to say a big thanks from all of us Joe Publix for the incredible job you do and we know you don't get paid enough and stuff, but it's a great thing you do for all of us and we all love you for it! Thank you very much.
