In the photo shown is a ‘paid carer’ with two disabled ladies. One in a wheelchair. My husband and I could only assume as they were in a restaurant that another person may have been ordering food! But we watched for some time and all we saw were two people being ignored whilst the ‘carer’ sat engrossed in her phone! Not noticing anything going on around her. Including us watching and photographing her. The lady on the left was visibly shaking and looking around as if she wanted attention . Is this what is called CARE! Unfortunately this was not the only similar case we saw today at Bluewater, in fact there seemed to be many , some wandering pushing wheelchairs, again always with a phone in hand and in one case a young lady with a protective helmet in a wheelchair crying loudly but being ignored by a blonde lady texting away happily but looking quite annoyed at her ‘cared for’ drawing attention from a few passers by. Does no one check on these carers. Have they no training ? Can anyone get such a job? It saddens me to see such abuse of the role they are being paid for. I am sure some people will say I am being judgmental and do not know the full facts but having watched so much of it, just in one day. There was certainly enough evidence for myself and my husband to come to a sad conclusion 😢 Maybe there needs to be more inspectors -

Netflix. I usually avoid series but after watching Champions I decided to watch this with another member of the original cast of Cheers in the title role . ‘A retired professor gets a new lease on life when a private investigator hires him to go undercover inside a San Francisco retirement home’ Ted Danson is superb and the storyline is not only about the disappearance of the jewellery . Sweet, touching, funny and informative Another series to follow. Just hope they don’t overdo it or rush to write it. This one is perfect -

Starring Woody Harrelson and a beautiful cast of young people with ‘intellectual challenges’ as I think Americans call them. It’s far fetched but funny 🤣 Woody in his role as their ‘coach’ after being forced to spend 90 days with them. He starts out as an arrogant man and gradually changes . It’s cute , the cast are all brilliant. It’s on Netflix now -

Out yesterday, we sat watching this with maybe 50 other pensioners. Most of which were probably expecting an interesting storyline and quite a lot of music. My personal experience was it was too long, boring and made Dylan look like an arrogant self centred git! After using the facilities I found my husband chatting to a man in the Foyer who had also just seen the film. His opinion - disappointed ☹️ Let’s see what the critics say https://youtu.be/FdV-Cs5o8mc?si=olXsjfx7aDZ7-zaO -
