Beware: Strokes Happen At Any Age

A PLYMOUTH doctor who had a severe stroke at 30 is backing a charity’s campaign to raise awareness that stroke can happen to anyone at any age.

Jimmy Hubbard’s stroke left him with a range of physical and emotional difficulties which ended his promising career as a hospital anaesthetist.

As he works to “get his life back”, Jimmy is sharing his story, as research by the Stroke Association to mark World Stroke Day on Sunday reveals that more than half of UK adults think strokes don’t affect young people – yet one in four happens someone of working age.

His stroke happened almost four years ago when he was working in Yeovil, having just returned from living in Australia.

CHRIS ROBINSON RECALLS A POST-WAR BOOM FOR PUBLIC TRANSPORT BY ROAD

ALTHOUGH horses had proved invaluable during the 1914-18 war, their presence on the public highways and byways of Britain was in terminal decline. What is more, although many survived the war, so too did a huge number of large army vehicles, many of which were deployed after the war as charabancs.
