It's awful to say but it's almost a relief when they do go for their own sake and for everyone who has to look after and worry about them (but you shouldn't say that last part out loud)
To see someone you knew so well when they were so independent and capable of everything deteriorate to the point of being as helpless as a baby but harder to look after is pretty soul destroying. Especially when you know that they themselves would hate to be in that position if they were of sound mind. But they have no f**king idea what's going on.

Still a good trade, but everyone waits until festival week. So could well be a pound or 2 less.

Probably not many old tups eaten there. Where lies the problem, thank goodness for our foreign brothers or cast ewes would be half the price.

Problem is it’s maybe 2k a month to go in a home and they have to pay if they have over 20/25k in the bank
If they get below that the council will take the money off the estate/house at the end
Not much fun really when folks have saved up to end up there
Carers at home costing £1500 a month
I’m just pleased cake and fert is so dear so I won’t have that problem

Cost us £1200 a week for years .

We had that aswell till it got too much for mum, it was going to be 800 a week for a home, but he didn't last a month after he was taken into hospital, a sad end, that was in 2010.

It’s a bloody sin you have to pay anything for end of life care when you’ve worked hard all your life and saved up….you may as well be a lazy cûnt and sponge all you can get….boils my p!ss

Young pigs a better price today at J36, make the finished pigs look very cheap, GOS small weaners £37 90kg white finished pigs £115 black finished pigs 80kg £80

Greythundercloudys · Apr 26, 2022

The worry mum had with dad then this guy shows up and says 800 a week. The less you have the more you get. Is a true saying in those circumstances.

should be like school at beginning of life , state looks after you from 80 on if required (happy to pay higher taxes if necessary ) , to much discrimination at the moment , private companies making a killing , all their savings up in smoke , yet the feckless are cared for right through life ,
