This thread is the limit, I've avoided this tripe for god knows how long and now it shows up here..

My elderly neighbour came round with a christmas card yesterday.

He has been diagnozed with alzheimers so the street gossip goes and I have to say I was absolutely shocked by his appearance etc.

I'm in my late 70s (mods please note the non apostrophe) and he's probably 6 or 7 years older than me. At the beginning of the year, before lockdown, he appeared fine, the degeneration in 10 months is absolutely heart rending and my sympathy goes out to all who suffer from it and equally important their relatives and carers.

I've watched one of my close friends expire from motor neurone disease and several from cancer and whilst they are equally devastating in the result, the absolute lostness for want of a better term in my neighbour defies description.

I don't expect any comments I just had to do a bit of outpouring to come to terms with a complaint I can statistically expect to be exposed to one way or another

That splice reminded me of the first wot4 I built back in the last century, a mk2 . Chris Foss had cut the components on echelon as it were, I've used the idea several times on models, most recent on a wot 4, ironically, that succumbed to switch failure. On the mk2 wottie the joint was abaft the wing seat..
