Nothing surprises me. My D was only saying not long ago that this country is becoming one of the dirtiest along with the people in it.
Because she's at such close quarters with the public she said that it was getting worse having noticed this lack of personal care and a general don't care attitude of people.
Even when she was an agency nurse in the mid 80's she'd witnessed slip-shod attitudes among staff and shoddy work, even in expensive nursing homes. Needless to say she didn't get on with many staff especially when she found one asleep while on nights in a high-dependency home ! That was a private one for those with MH problems in Warrington.
Sad, that because she'd found that many didn't pull their weight that she left after 7 years and took up something totally different, she was a good nurse and a hard worker.
