Hilton Hotels #accessible? 88 yr old with arthritic knees in wheelchair. Booked accessible room in Doncaster. Lovely hotel, bathroom full of grab bars But this was the dressing table mirror view from my chair! Good for a giraffe? And the bed so low I had to call for help.

Another example of life cycles at 88 In 1960 went to the US and saw my first supermarket with brown paper bags for our shopping Back to UK in 1970s and only plastic bags Today Waitrose delivering in brown paper bags again!

How do we get the British back to eating good offal dishes like our traditional steak and kidney? Are we using the best food for dog meat? Four butchers today had no kidneys! Don’t often see tongue or lamb/beef hearts either.

Trump has already turned the US into a Dictatorship by just ignoring the law in the form of decisions made by judges in US courts! Is there anything ordinary US citizens can now do legally to stop him?

Why can’t we have a system in the UK which allows me to die in comfort and with dignity, where and when I wish, and without involving Medics or other people? It should be my choice! Why not?

Today my Nail technician (Polish mother, Moroccan Father) took me to the Turkish barbers next door who she had asked to trim my hair We waited until he had finished his prayers and rolled his mat. I am a 90 year old woman in a wheelchair! Multicultural caring Glasgow citizens!

grandmawilliams 80+ Like we have here in Canada, Joyce? We call it MAID, medical assistance in dying. It does involve medics in the planning stages, which I am fine with, and the time, manner, and place of your death is in your hands, your choice.

Why are we involving Doctors in our choice to die? Surely it is my life, my choice, my responsibility. We need a good DIY system, comfortable , reliable , dignified and NOT expect others to do it for us!

Vaccinations: why aren’t we 80 year olds campaigning? A whole generation of us lived through the pre vaccination polio era. We saw the awful results on our classmates. We saw Measles disappear in our lifetimes. Shouldn’t we be shouting to our granddaughters “Protect your kids“

Vaccinations! It must be the duty of my generation (80s) to campaign and warn. We who knew ,first hand, the dreadful effects of measles, polio, etc on their classic mates should be saying so to our grand daughters. Shout it “If you love your kids, grand kids, protect them”
