LaraCroft 863 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 I can't agree on Top Gear ( although the Hamster is lovely ! ) or the Beatles - as I like Pink Floyd and Masterchef... I am proud to be British when I see the NHS. Now a lot will say I am biased, but I'm not - it isn't perfect - it tries hard, and is failed by the managers and the politicians - but nowhere else has the same sort of health care service we do. And a comedy sketch I saw a while ago - a couple having a shag on a train - no one says a word. The bloke lights a cigarette afterwards - and someone says " er, excuse me, but I think you will find this is the non smoking section".... classic ! sums us up totally.

Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 How sad People fall through the net/system - and it is often the ones who just quietly accept their lot in life, or don't know how to deal with the system, that get the bad deal. I visited an old guy a few months ago - nasty chest infection - and while I was there I could see he was really struggling. We talked about options, family, cares etc and his situation was just terrible. I noticed a book on spitfires on his table, and we got chatting about that - and turns out he was WW2 pilot. His wife had died, his son was estranged and he was too proud to ask for help, because he was embarrased at what he " had become". I spent the next day on the phone to various military people - some helpful, some not, and eventually spoke to a really helpful squadron liaison office, and 2 weeks later, they visited him, and he was entitled to free help with sorting benefits, and his finances, and they even arranged for him to attend the Burns night dinner at the local mess - military transport provided - I saw him there and he was a different person. To be fair, he then bored me silly with war stories..... ( joking, he was a top bloke) and now he knows that help is only a phone call away. Lara you are an absolute darling for doing that for him! I wish I had met a thoughtful girl like you Well done bab! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

NEWKID 27,143 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 OAP's are treated like shit in this country.... The ones who should get the most respect get none, I couldn't handle how they were spoken to whilst my wife was in hospital, they are talked to like silly children .. Shocking.. My wife who was very ill after her op, had to help one old lady ( Audrey) out of her bed, she was told by the nurse she had to prove she was ready to go home.. Now my wife is in touch with her and has helped her get home help ( she wasn't made aware of what she was entitled to and was paying heavily).... Audrey's over and as bright as a button, a very interesting old lady... My wife will stay in touch with her and we'll help where we can Lara.. You sound exactly how a nurse should be, your a credit to your profession .... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stigy79 5 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Something has to be done to get this man his medals back. Can we as a hunting community not have a whip round to raise the money to get this man, no sorry this HERO! his medals back? Would anyone know how to go about it? I don't earn much and don't get paid til the 25th but more than willing to donate some money if we can get medals back to this poor bloke. This country makes my blood boil! 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
