@Urban_Tribesman my mum would have been 100 next year
She remembered my granny having to save up half a crown (which was probably the equivalent of a few hundred quid now) to take her to the eye hospital so she could get a persistent infection that wouldn't go finally cured
She had a weakness and couldn't take bright light all her life
She was a nurse and thought the NHS was one of the best things that ever happened.

My Sister became a Nurse at age 16 (a Cadet Nurse as they were called then). That was in 1967. She’s 71 now, and still working as an NHS nurse. People like her, with their dedication to duty & caring for others is priceless but nursing salaries have dropped to a level 20.54% below the value they were when the Tories came to power in 2010.
