PMSL Alan. I gotta say that I loved the midwives with the sense of humour better than the ones who didn't really have much of one at all.

In regards to the itching...I would find it sooooo itchy at times as well. Try not to have your shower or bath too hot as this will make it worse...that I found hard cos I love a hot bath. I also used Bio Oil whenever I got out of the shower or bath as well as when it felt itchy and it worked really well.
