Twice this week, I have watched an elderly individual, fade into the busy life in which we all live. One man just needed Panadol for his wife but the shop assistant simply said it’s in ‘6’. But he struggled to navigate the supermarket and as I watched him go in the wrong direction, I left all my groceries and took him where he needed to go. Today, I watched an elderly man struggle in the heat, who had obviously had a fall with a huge scrape and blood on his leg. He walked past people in the cafe, while he slowly made his way to his car.

anyhow wotsa MOT test?.
Thank you all for your concerns.
Wally, I believe a didgeridoo blasting into hubbies ears may exacerbate his existing malaise.
Also you ask in your own peculier way, "Wotsa MOT test"? I am informed by himself that a MOT test is a Pommy Ministry Of Road Transport examination on old Crocks, to ensure their road worthiness. However in hubby's case, his tyres may be a bit flat but his accelerator is working well.
