Katie Price (AKA Jordan) was offering her services as a beautician at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary.
“Why would anyone with your wealth be waxing other people’s legs?” I asked her.
“I only earn £300,000 a year”, she replied as she called in her next client.
Meanwhile, led by a man in a grey cashmere scarf and his wife, a coach-load of Romanian pensioners waited outside the main hospital entrance. They were assisted by a young Scottish student, employed as their local guide. The student explained that the visitors were healthcare tourists. Each had paid a huge sum of money to come to Scotland for plastic surgery.
NHS Scotland was clearly pleased with this East European custom. A brass band played as the patients lined up to board the trolleys that would take them into theatre.
