It's partly as people live longer, you're more likely to be alive for it to come about, and also in the past you'd just be classed as a lunatic and, if lucky, sent off to Hatton.

He turned really violent and would attack his wife. He had to be taken to a care home for her safety and very slowly went downhill and passed away.
Has all of this just happened over the last 20 years or so or was it always there without a diagnosis?
its horrible isn't it. Going through this at the moment, my Dad has advanced vascular dementia, you end up just waiting for them to die. There's zero quality of life and it just ends up becoming all consuming, I don't do anything now apart from visit my Dad or run around after my Mum, who frankly is more trouble than my Dad despite having nothing wrong with her.Yep....I travelled a 500 mile round trip every month for a few years just to watch my Dad slowly rot into double-incontinent wheel-chair bound vegetable trapped in a "care" home before he finally had the sweet release of death....
A big part of me still regrets not smothering him with his pillow to save his & our pain....... & half my Ma's house!
He had agressive frontal lobe Alzheimers diagnosed at 61. Fucking tragic.

In his more lucid times my Dad has more than once asked me to help him kill himself as he doesn't want to be stuck in a home, that's not a peasant conversation to have.
Makes you question if we're doing the right thing. Medicine is so advanced now we seem to be keeping people alive past the point their bodies can cope with it, I'm not sure I see much benefit to it. At least my Dad has visitors, He's been in there months now and its very rare I see anyone else visiting, so sad.
This is the difficult thing isn't it, and something we have to front up. I remember being glad when my Granddad died, but also being immensely guilty that I felt that way, because you're not supposed to, are you - society tells you it should be a sad time.and it was big relief when she passed
Tesco Clifford Bridge Road : yesterday 171.9. today 178.9.Petrol being at £1.80 when last week it was £1.71! 9p In a single week? Absolutely ridiculous

Just airports generallyAirports, waiting around. Stuck on a bus for half an hour from the plane to the gates that could have taken you 5 minutes to walk. No air, just pure germs.

Leaving at 5pm in morning to drive to Bristol and fly to Bordeaux. Hopefully not cancelled!Just airports generally
Yes, that Eat well for less seems entirely ignorant of the growth of Aldi / Lidl over the past 15 yearsTV programmes like this bullshit one called Eat well for less, or something.
Vital knowledge, I don’t know how we coped without it.
- Buy cheaper products, don’t always buy the big branded stuff.
- Eat more vegetables and less junk.

Like all of the diet programmes. Eat less and healthier and exercise more. Nuff said.Yeah. And that it’s a show dedicated entirely to common sense. Next there’ll be a show with some bloke going around a house switching off all the lights, reminding us to save on energy bills.
Love it when people act surprised that they don't need to buy the most expensive stuff as well.Yes, that Eat well for less seems entirely ignorant of the growth of Aldi / Lidl over the past 15 years
I know, i had a look at how much a packet of Kellogg's cereal is the other day, people must be off their rocker paying that.Love it when people act surprised that they don't need to buy the most expensive stuff as well.
Might get my wife to watch that one - she is oblivious to switching lights off - seriously considering having timer switches !Yeah. And that it’s a show dedicated entirely to common sense.

I disagree with you to some extent on this one. I admit, it doesn't make great viewing for many of us (who know better), but if it was to be watched by people who are genuinely struggling and don't know that there is a cheaper and healthier way to feed your family, i think it has some value.TV programmes like this bullshit one called Eat well for less, or something.

It's the stuff you just never ever use but can't face chucking out that's the thing and when you move you finally realise how weak you really are and still box it up.Moving house soon, the stress levels my wife manages to get her to is beyond me. Just sling our stuff in a few boxes and off we go I say, how hard can it be?
Like that outside a lot of primary schools around 3 pm. Parking is absolute nightmare. I bet a lot of them live 100 yards away.There's a dance or acting school (don't care which BTW) opened up near where I work. It's chaos up there when I try get home. There's nothing worse than pushy mums and dads in their 4x4's getting the spoilt little brats in and out of there. They're all blinkered and oblivious to anyone else using the roads at that time of night.
I like 1,500 feet away from a school, my neighbours and the family across the road load their kids into the car every morning, drive to the school, drop them off and come back homeLike that outside a lot of primary schools around 3 pm.
