Blimey, I've been sussed.
I'm old, use Skype and watch mindless TV Programmes.
Well, there are oldies and oldies aren't there.
Some are pretty chipper and some would simply inject dribble and tea into the keyboard.
I know of quite a few mature users (over 80) who use their PC to get supermarket deliveries and a great-Aunt who bought me a pair of gloves for Christmas over tinternet (no, not from Ebay).
I used to visit someone in a Care Home for 2 years so I have 'experienced' the goings-on.
At that particular place (£700 per week fees) I doubt if many/any could have handled a PC and, yes, they had to suffer tedious TV or endless boredom. Most preferred a chat. But I daresay in some places it could provide entertainment and a means to talk to rellies.
Maybe some places do have it?
Right, I'd better go... the men in white coats are looking for me.
PS. Stan, I think looking at those page 3 girls has affected you ... it's traditionally "The Sun" which does that ... apparently... so I've been told... I wouldn't know
PPS. Jeremy, OT but get the Inspector's Reports on any Homes you are looking at. And when you are having a look around don't be shy about asking visitors and inmates what they think - but out of the gaze of the Guards. I've seen some horrible places, but got used to the smells after a while
And check out the small print re: fees and additional costs.
And remember that private 'service users' susidise the inmates paid for by the State.
