Local councils running out of money
Well it seems that the local councils are running out of funds to look after the elderly in the community and whos fault is that i wonder, yes the government they are saying,
So what does this mean for you and i i wonder.
Well if you dont work and have no savings well i think you will be fine, cant guarantee it though.
If you are super rich maybe you have no idea what i am on about and why should you.
Now if you are like me a worker with saving, have not bothered to claim for this and that and have my own house, well it seems i may by up sh-t creak with out a paddle.
We have all read and maybe heard of the horror stories about using your own savings and even selling your house to care for you in your old age, well its true .
So what is the alternatives .
Sell up and move to somewhere warm and live with in your means and dont leave anything to the kids.
Marry a very lady to look after you or try to kill you but you may die happy.
Just a thought, any other ideas boys and girls

I agree Steve anyone who has savings will (and do) have to use them to self fund services (I cant call it help) they may need to try and stay in their own homes in ill health and older age.
Around here the council do not even pretend to have help available at weekends.
One of my dreads is ending up in an so called "care home"

I've often said it's a better life in prison than to end a life alone and in a care home.

... whilst "guests of HM" can choose whether to spend time reading, watching television [or not] in the evenings, phoning their families, or ... ... whatever, there're still too MANY frail, elderly decent~living folk - who've sold their property to be [supposedly] looked after in these "care" homes - that, frequently don't have even the simple choice of [independently] going for a whenever nature calls.
