They'll take the promises and ignore the facts. Those who can't be excused on the grounds of feckless gullibility are the MPs who still profess support for The Convict. They know he's useless, amoral and a liar but put their own self-interest first. A shameful period in parliamentary history.

43.8% voted Conservative last GE. So the majority don't want them.

Sometimes I am embarrassed to be British, usually when a Brit is being an ars××××× in a shop or restaurant or some such place.
We've been in France for nearly 19 years, but I don't want to be a dual national. I am British and always will be.
France is my home, for now but I will never say I won't return to UK.
As I get older the thought of needing to go into a care establishment in France scares me.

]As I get older the thought of needing to go into a care establishment in France scares me. Crikey! The thought of needing to / having to go into a UK one scares me witless! We have several friends who have gone/ are going back 'for age/ health reasons'. I just don't see the logic...

We have several friends who have gone/ are going back 'for age/ health reasons'. I just don't see the logic... For me it would be language issues, and food. I'm sure it won't be better than French hospital food which I have experience of,so I'm pretty sure it's bad (for an English palette)

I hope that none of us ever have to spend any time in one of them, they serve a purpose but I personally would rather expire in service.
I found hospital food in France to be excellent and would expect that in an Ehpad to be very good, I can envisage inspections not finding any neglect or abuse that might go on in the worst places but any lapses in the food would be noticed by all and taken very seriously.

I suspect that it all boils down to money (like most things) and what type of care is needed. In France, if you've got enough to pay for care in a good establishment, life can be very pleasant. If you're there because of dementia, it's grim in either country. In the early stages, communication would be important, true, but finally, it wouldn't much matter as 1) you lose your comprehension and ability to make yourself understood and 2) most of the staff are not native speakers of either English or French. I'm with pcpa....best go out with a bang If my experiments with home-made fertiliser go wrong, that might be sooner rather than later

@ Houpla : Suicide bombing ? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toulouse_chemical_factory_explosion@ mom, on a more serious note every one of us has a different logic that is set out according to our birth, experience and belief. That will always present problems for humans until they are no more. on another tack. Embarrassment like all problems is/are in the mind.

One major ehad chain in France has just been had up for serious deficiencies in care with neglect, inadequate food cited.

As in the UK and other countries.
Sadly poor to bad conditions will appear wherever you go.
