It's to our eternal shame that care standards are so abysmally poor, although I accept that there are a great many who do their best within the confines of the system. |

I don't know about tune but I do know that's a lot of notes! The man must be crackers! Can we not send him back to Scotland? |

And when do they ever listen? (that's a rhetorical question) although you can answer it if you want. |
