Re: An experiment in social engineering

Less, the reason I typed it in was I had to edit down to make it fit in the 'thread box'.Also I don't know how to cut and paste either(I'll read up your info).I never thought of mentioning the source ,just thought it interesting.Funnily enough, the only original bit of mine was the heading, which you say finds the originals on Google(now I know how Flashy did it!).
We visited an old relation of ours for several years in what was supposed to be one of the best care homes in Blackburn(aaa! the box opens up when you fill it) and I must say I would rather die young(well, not this young) and at home than in one of those places.

If the wandering posts I and Jambutty are known for are anything to go by, don't worry about size, it just doesn't matter.

Always mention the source if you aren't making it up as you go along.:)

It is interesting, you've seen the response.

Not so, I only showed the link to accyweb.

Lesson two obviously needs to be 'how to find what I think I've read before'.

I hope you visited regularly, my biggest regret when my Mum was in one was to follow my brothers advice, 'don't bother Less, whenever I turn up she says you just left. I should have gone.:(

Wait until you get older, life is something worth clinging to no matter how old we become.

Guards would check on them every 20 minutes to see if they were OK and bring their meals and snacks to their cells if needed.They would have free access to a library,medical centre,spiritual councelling, swimming pool,a good choice of free education,free legal aid.Free clothes, shoes,satellite TV,DVD,radio,phone calls.A board of directors to act on their complaints and the guards would have a strict code of conduct.
The prisoners would be totaly ignored,get cold food,lights off early,showers once a week, a tiny room and pay £500 pounds a week.Also they'd know they would never get out. Seems fair?

Or we could go the other way round ...call it the "BIG Society" and let people look after the old for free.. if yer park is looking untidy then clean it up and walk away..make home help non existent but ask the neighbours to look out for the old folk a few doors away.. all these things have been done for free in this county for decades.. but Cameron and the Tories want to make it officail.!... cutting costs? this is more of the them and us stuff we had under Thatcher... cuts cuts cuts.. no matter the cost
