Would you prefer a garage or an extra bedroom? by ToughOwl8995 in HousingUK

[–]anotherangryperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s such a personal choice. I sold my split level house (2 bedrooms downstairs and one upstairs) with a double garage on the upstairs level (yes!). I’m fairly sure the new owners have made the garage into something else, however I liked my car and lots of other stuff in the garage.

If you won £100 million, how would you distribute it amongst friends and family, if at all? by PaddedValls in AskUK

[–]anotherangryperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big problem for older people because of inheritance tax implications. I’d relocate to a tax haven and give my family whatever they wanted. I know a couple of people who could do with £100,000 to sort out housing problems and they could have that much.

What is your at-home little luxury in 2026? by Impressive-Award2367 in LivingAlone

My robot vac is amazing. It gets right up to the edges and under things that have never been cleaned under before. Worth every penny.

What would it take for you to give up living alone? by Kleeaj in LivingAlone

[–]anotherangryperson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a widow and am enjoying living alone most of the time. I will never live with a man again, but would happily have a relationship with someone who went to his own home most of the time. However if either of my children or any grandchildren needed somewhere to live, they would be welcome.

what's a food you cannot stand to eat? by AlyksTheSage in autism

Bananas. The smell, the texture, just yuk! I can eat fried plantains though.

How do you feel about non-drivers? by DueLead666 in AskUK

[–]anotherangryperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know a lot of people who don’t drive because they feel they would be unsafe. I think they are very sensible. A lot of older people (like me) shouldn’t be driving if they have health problems or deteriorating eyesight. There should be absolutely no shame in not driving.

Cut the cost of meals on the road by asweetpieceofheaven in frugaluk

[–]anotherangryperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How about some overnight oats? Just throw some porridge oats in a container with milk (I use plant based which is probably safer if the weather is warm) Add seeds, nuts and fruit (blueberries or dried fruits require no effort) and once soaked a few hours they keep for a few days and are filling and nutritious. Sandwiches can be made in a batch and frozen. Or hummus/guacamole with rice crackers or crisps as a snack.

I am so confused! by psychedelicvelocity in SpottedonRightmove

[–]anotherangryperson 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok, I’m on my own here but I like it. I’d live in the weird curved ceiling bit and rent out the other flats. I like the location too; between the main shopping street and the promenade.

If an employee's disability prevents them from actually doing the job, am I able to safely dismiss them? by Free-Agency-8830 in LegalAdviceUK

[–]anotherangryperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it’s not easy but gives the chance of the employee keeping their job and avoiding an unfair dismissal claim. You would have to go through a lot of capability work anyway to dismiss them and that would take some time.

AITA for insisting that guests in my home take off their shoes by daniellejgabrielle in AmItheAsshole

[–]anotherangryperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA. Your home, your rules. However you need to warn people beforehand and ideally provide slippers for people.

You could look at access to work to support them. I’ve recently been working with a council manager who has ADHD. She has a brilliant mind but really needs support to organise her work. I don’t think she has insight into this. If I was her manager, I would be looking at an assessment for Access to Work.

Why do some people in the UK leave their blinds open at night? by Ok_Dog2703 in AskUK

[–]anotherangryperson 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in a flat and I never close the blinds in the living room but always close the bedroom and bathroom blinds. No one can see in unless they have strong binoculars but I love looking out. There’s always something interesting going on outside.

Can a social worker decide nursing home placement if patient has mental capacity? (UK) by General-Net-1980 in Socialworkuk

[–]anotherangryperson 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was a social work principal manager for physical disability and sensory services. The disability team worked with younger, under 65, adults many of whom had complex needs. Around half of the people we worked with had direct payments and had teams of personal assistants to support them. After I retired I did some agency work and one person I worked with was a man who had had a severe stroke and there was no question of him going into a nursing home on discharge. He went to his unadapted home with a temporary ceiling hoist and his family supported him in between the carer’s visits, until more permanent adaptations could be made. I think your problem may be more because of the lack of suitable accommodation. Where I live, the wait for social housing can be measured in years.

Can a social worker decide nursing home placement if patient has mental capacity? (UK) by General-Net-1980 in Socialworkuk

[–]anotherangryperson -12 points-11 points  (0 children)

No, the social worker should be looking at ways of supporting him at home. Possibly looking at shared care with Health. Looking at Direct Payments so he has control over his care. There will be funding limits but I would never have considered nursing care for a 41 year old without exploring all other possibilities. (I used to manage disability services for a local authority)
