I am really getting hacked off with the way the media, in particular TV newsrooms, preface an article about the elderly... be it an item about dementia or care homes......with the same old library photo stock of a knarled,vein- marked hand grasping a stick??? It makes me so mad!
The same applies to library shots of care homes with 'old folks' (those two words should be banned from the Oxford Dictionary on the grounds of discrimination alone!) sitting in high-backed chairs placed around the walls of the communal lounge (God's waiting room) while the brain dead inhabitants watch daytime telly! What the hell is all that about? Do we actually do that in our owm homes?
If what's awaiting me I'd rather top myself. But I refuse to accept this is a true potrayal of the over -seventies today.
