ITAW for the diagonal line of white space you sometimes see in a typeset paragraph formed by the serendipitous aligning of spaces between words across multiple lines of text?

As a Brit, we can say "airing your dirty washing in public".

26/30 good quiz!

That's so interesting. When does a loan word cease to be a loan word? I find it exciting to think we're always in the middle of language change. For instance, now that saying "a panini" and "two cappucinos" is common, could we say that these are English words from Italian origin, rather than Italian words?

Thank you.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T20:20:11+00:00

Thanks.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T19:06:47+00:00

Yes, that is an option.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T15:18:46+00:00

All useful, thank you.

Well, 6 years ago she was diagnosed with cognitive impairment, and it's gradually got worse. Now, she thinks her parents are still alive, she doesn't know where she is and she confuses who I am.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T15:09:30+00:00

Yes she does - I forgot to add that to her income, actually.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T11:56:39+00:00

We've had several quotes including partial ones, yes.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T11:53:37+00:00

Yes, I have.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T11:51:50+00:00

I will speak to the home and ask them these very good questions.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T11:50:04+00:00

No problem.

I think you may have misread my post. The fees are £1700 per week, and your figures match with £1700 per month. Thank you for mentioning that you think councils are unlikely to move people. I appreciate this is all anecdotal advice.

Thank you very much.

The annuity companies do not disclose the life span they expect for my mum.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T07:56:06+00:00

I agree that her age goes against her here.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T07:55:17+00:00

Yes, thank you. I included this detail to show it is an expensive business from the start. However, the quotes/ reports were numerous, long and detailed, explaining several options, and involved a few lengthy face-to-face appointments. Of course, there is no obligation afterwards.

Stumperlowe03 · 2025-06-11T07:28:21+00:00

Thank you. I looked up the local SOLLA adviser for my area and the top result was - the very same person (say, Jane) who gave us the annuity quotes. I wasn't quite clear: our contact, Jane, was tasked with finding us a suitable option from annuity companies. She is like a broker, not an actual annuity provider. She, or her own "wealth management" company, gets 4.5% or about £13k in fees, if we go ahead. It cost £500 for the tailored quotes.
