The old peoples day center, they have entertainment like watching television, maybe the odd game of bingo and stuff if they're not asleep.I came into this world with nothing and I'm gonna leave with nothing.0

for andybez,
you gave me a laff, it sounds perfect as all she wants to do is eat or watch telly....but a promise is a promise... last time i took her to a show in london and we went on a coach and it was along journey so she promptly fell asleep during the performance (dont laugh). then we had a couple of hours in london the following day and we spent two hours in a coffee shop cos she didnt want to shop!!! in the end i put her on a bench near to where the coach was parked and i went for a walk in hyde park bu myself!!!!! now stop laughing,0 -
Blackpool Illuminations, lots of old folk, no countryside, Shows, Bingo, The Big One and Harry Ramsdens - what more can you ask for?

Could you organise a weekend with tickets to the broadcast of a favourite TV show. I know you can apply for tickets online, I'm sure someone may be able to post a link.Thrifty Till 50 Then Spend Till the End
You can please some of the people some of the time, all of the people some of the time, some of the people all of the time but you can never please all of the people all of the time0 -
How about the east coast. There is a lovely hotel , cober hill at cloughton - just north of scarborough. Its an old hunting lodge, excellent food and games etc (indoor bowls).0
