More than 1200 patients with learning disablitities are dying needlessly in hospitals. Doctors confuse signs of serious illness with systems of learning diffculties. Report by mencap the following has been suggested: a better complaints system in hospitals for families with learning disablities, a goverment reveiw board to record deaths and invesigate random cases so disabled get best care, a learning disablity nurse to be provided in all hospitals to liase with medical staff and famlies, extra training for doctors and nurses, famlies to be briefed and consulted before 'do not resuscitate' notices go up. These are people not their illness. I have worked with learning differculties and found that it is best to treat them how you would be treated. So do something about this, i.e. support the Sunday Mirror campaign, complain to your MP, stand up for their rights as we are all equal. read more

Playing catch-up for ex-essex weirdo
Why was I put back a year at junior school? My headmistress at the school decided to keep me and a girl back 1 year as felt we were not listening in the classroom. This affected me most of my life as I was playing catch-up at secondary school onward. I think this is what makes me feel insecure or paranoid. I have done stuff wrong and keep being annoying by asking if I have done stuff wrong.

Woolfardisworthy, Torridge
The name of the village is a local curiosity, as its pronunciation (and occasional spelling) differs from what one might expect. On local signs, the village is sometimes marked as Woolsery alongside the original name. This is due to the pronunciation of the village's name being /ˈwʊlzəri/. The name also provides evidence for the power of the written word in conserving place-names: the shortened pronunciation is known to have been in use since the 17th century.[2]
According to the Oxford Dictionary of English Place Names (Eilert Ekwall, 4th ed., 1960), the origin of the name is probably 'Wulfheard's homestead'. The element 'worthy' is from Old English worþig, one of several words used by the Anglo-Saxons to denote a homestead, farmstead or small settlement. Who Wulfheard was, or whether both Devon villages are named for the same man, cannot be known, but the relative proximity of two villages with such an unusual name is intriguing.
