Thoughts for the day

A mate of mine recently admitted to being addicted to brake fluid. When I quizzed him on it he reckoned he could stop any time…..

My son’s been asking me for a pet spider for his birthday, so I went to our local pet shop and they were £70!!!
Blow this, I thought, I can get one cheaper off the web.

Just heard there was an explosion at a pie factory in Huddersfield.
3.1415927 dead

I was driving this morning when I saw an RAC van parked up. The driver was sobbing uncontrollably and looked very miserable.
I thought to myself ‘that guy’s heading for a breakdown’.

Elderly persons homes consultation

City of York Council is currently carrying out a review of its Elderly Persons Homes in order to work out how best to cope with demand in the future.

Some of the options under consideration include building a new, larger care home on the Lowfields school site.

Letters and consultation questionnaires are being sent to our current residents of the Council’s homes, day/respite care users and their relatives.

There will also be various opportunities for the wider public to share their views on the proposals including a series of public meetings, one of which will be held in Westfield.

The dates/venues for the meetings are as follows:

• Thursday 1st September, 7.00-8.30pm – Gateway Centre, Acomb
• Monday 19th September, 2.00pm – as part of York Older People’s Assembly’s open meeting at the Friends Meeting House, Friargate.

The consultation period is due to end mid-October when the consultation feedback will be collated and form part of a report to Cabinet on 1st November.
