I have just been issued with a Carelink Alarm Pendant. This emergency help system is run by the Brighton & Hove Council to enable people who are elderly or disabled to live independently. It means that when my family are away and I am in the house alone I can call for assistance if I have a fall or am taken ill at any time of the day or night. Kind neighbours and friends have agreed to have keys and the council staff will notify the keyholders so that someone can come to the house. If needed the staff will arrange for a doctor or an ambulance or the Police to come. There is a fee. Well worth it for peace of mind, but I hope I never have to use it.

Ramblings of a nonagenerian (vintage 1923). Grew up in Lambeth in the 20s and 30s. Lived and worked in London during World War II. I have been attempting to do the Telegraph Cryptic Crossword since 1939! (My daughter says I *have* to write this, but I am troubled as it sounds so conceited.) I bought my first computer aged 85 and am continually frustrated by the vagaries of the technological age.
