A DRUNKEN wedding guest has apologised to paramedics who had to `scrape' her off the pavement after a fall.

Sian Phillips, 34, tripped and knocked herself out while leaving a bar in Knutsford after a wedding.

She wrote to the M.E.N's sister paper the Macclesfield Express, outlining her regret at making a fool of herself.

Ms Phillips suffered bumps and `some spectacular bruises' in the fall.

She was discovered unconscious by an unidentified Good Samaritan who called an ambulance.

Now Ms Phillips, a hotel worker from Hereford, has thanked the mystery person and sent her apologies to the `poor ambulance crew'.

She said: "Had it not been for the Good Samaritan... I dread to think what could have happened.

"I also offer my sincere thanks and profuse apologies to the poor ambulance crew who came to scrape me off the pavement."

Once again we hear of drunken behaviour on our streets. The cost to our society is huge and the hosts of this wedding should bear the brunt of the cost. If this is not possible, how about some Astro Turf outside every bar to ensure injuries are only kept to grazes and thus not require an ambulance.

Our emergency crews ""ALL"" do a great job under some terrible conditions sometimes.They come under threats from drunks,children,adults,This is without all the other problems..we need to think,and protect them more ,and if anybody attacks or threatens them they need a five year minimum prison sentence..this goes for all emergency services...Well done for the letter thanking them.

I think it is appalling what goes on at weddings these days? did the Brride and Groom not seek to control the behaviour of their guest

I agree with Charlie.

The burden on the Ambulance Service and their brave crews is huge with the accountability of the 'victims' rarely being admitted like this lady.

I think the hosts should have been aware of the plight of their guest and should also thank the ambulance people for their kind act.

The Astro Turf idea is interesting - it could also provide a non slip surface in the winter months.
