( Roy Thayer’s underwent an emergency lif...)Wily Old Man Undergoes A life Saving Operation With A Worthless Cheque,Health

Roy Thayer’s underwent an emergency life saving operation by writing a no good cheque for a private heart operation.//

It was reported that Roy, 77, was warned that the long wait in the NHS list might cost him his life, and he knew that there was no way he could afford to pay for the ￡6,500 surgery.
