Sorry I forgot

Fair comment MattIt's a valid point about the focus on older people, but I think the thing with that article is that it's written by Stephen Burke who is chief executive of Counsel and Care and they are exclusively an older person's charity so naturally that will be his focus.

No guilt need be xpressed george, I have one or two things that bug me that is one of them, I will be the first to admit Alice and I will not see 45 ishGuilty as charged
I always say elderly/ disabled as thats from my view point but if i remember i try to mention young carers and elderly carers of pensionable age looking after younger family members with out the carers allowance .
but as you can see from recent government statements the main problem is in fact elderly disabled and they are also aware that many carers are in their mid to late 50`s and in just a few years we carers will in fact become the next elderly group needing help and as government ministers have said carers are the least able to care for themselves when they are in retirement
