Today we've started reviewing care homes for the F-i-L. And I thought my life was full of problems. We've cynically decided that many of the care homes out there are converted prisons. They simply removed the bars and sold them for scrap metal. And those care homes that look comfortable cost a fortune.
Clitheroekid mentioned that Tesco & most UK companies of a similar ilk have a huge infrastructure. We need to gear up for our old age and quickly. But I'm not sure we should want to make a profit about getting old.
Sorry to gripe
