If you have been driving nearly all your life, can a Doctor take that away from you, thus leaving you stranded when you are disabled.

I can hardly walk and rely on my car to get me to the shops. what does one do when you have no one to go and get you anything to eat.. The Service we once had when there was people to come along and help you.But they do not do that anymore... so probably the Doctor would like me to starve...!!

The Doctor has diagnosed me with Alzheimers, but she has not given me any medication. The only thing she has done is to take my Driving Licence away from me. I read that one should get some kind of medication to stop it getting worse. Can anyone give me advice on how to approach this problem, as I would like this ailment treating before I get any worse...??

If a Person is diagnosed with Alzheimers is the Doctor supposed to give you either Tablets, or medicine to stop it getting worse. Or do they do nothing at all... ? I had a headache and they put me in a Mental Hospital.... I did not get anything nor was I told anything so after a week I got a Lawyer to get me out. My Doctor was notified and she wrote to the DVLA and took my Licence away. Now that has put me in a position of not having anyone to shop for me ( they do not provide that Service any more ) so here I am cannot go out as I cannot walk.... that is why I have a small car to enable me to get to the shops... but they took that off me. The Question is " what does one do for food " starve to death ? I have two Daughters but they do not live anywhere near...3.000 miles and 50 miles away. Anyone got any answers to this state I am in... thanks folks...

After a visit to a Hospital.... and being the wrong one...I had to get a Lawyer to get me out. Now having won my case , they are now trying another tactic.... taking my Driving License away, and I have had one for over forty years,,, without a scratch being put on any one of the cars, and only one speeding ticket, when I first started driving. Can anyone please tell me where and whom could help me in this instance, or any advice on where to apply next. The most ironic part of all this ... is that I worked for the NHS for about ten years,, taking their Patients to Hospitals all over the Country,. including London about three times per week.... Now they are tring to take my License away.... any suggestions please as to my next move... ??

After driving for over forty years, and having a clean License.... I am put into Hospital ( wrong one ) and on coming out I get a Letter to say my Licence is revoked and I can no longer drive. I only went to get some results from a Biopsy which I had on my Bust owing to a small lump growing, and they took me to a Mental Hospital instead. I had to get a LAWYER to get me out of there, and on coming home, I got this letter to say my License had been taken off me, because of their mistake. I still have not got the results of that test.....as I cannot get there unless I get taxi. I phoned them up but was told that it would not matter what I did.... my licence would not be given back...... Any ideas of what I can do to solve this dilemma for me, when it was their mistake. By the way the Lawyer brought a Doctor with him who passed me fit and sane.I am classed as disabled as well but they said that does not carry any weight, as they would not change their mind. So here I am stuck in the house and cannot go out. I am devastated to say the least. Is there any other avenues I can go down to get me mobile again.

Has anyone heard of the three year girl who was searched by the TSA.... whoever they are ? It happened on the Beltway... It sounded like an Area in New York..What a terrible ordeal for that child...!

Being on a Pension and eighty six yrs old... the Pension Service puts my Pension into my Bank. Every three months Bank puts charges on as I have to pay my Electric, Gas etc through the Bank. So every three months the Bank charges me anything up to £110 for having to do this. Is this right because last month it left me with £4.53 to buy my food for a month until my next Pension went in. I have just been to see them and did not get any joy from them. It is bad enough trying to live at all without doing this to you. They started this charging about two years ago and I have trying to fight them ever since. Are there any Banks out there which I could change to for a better deal...

What do our Local Councils do as regards looking after our spare pieces of Land,,,,, and yet continue to disregard them. Some are like rubbish tips and yet one is very much used by people at weekends to look over the scenery. It is a very nice spot and I use it all the time, and it also looks over our Airport... which is also interesting. I have just come back from there, and as usual it reminds one of trying to get over every obstacle without damage to your car. I have made phone calls but get the phone put down on me, even though I try to be very friendly... very ignorant people. !!

Still they come into the UK... and yet we have no work here now... why do they.. ? is it the Benefits they get as soon as they arrive ? because it certainly is not the money from working. How much longer can we sustain all of this expenditure, year on and year out. ?

Has anyone got a Telephone number for this Firm who are supposed to be in Leeds. The one I got and tried to phone was answered by a Girl who after I had stated my business ... put the phone down on me, and when on trying again was told it did not exist....They have already taken £600 from my Bank ... but they do not know who they are either. I have no debts.. so what is it for..,.... anyone help ?

What State Run Industries have made money.... I cannot name one because according to figures we see they are all in debt, or closing down. Most of our Hospitals and all the NHS have had severe cuts to their budgets... and yet it is the workers of this Country that pay for it . Nurses at all Hospitals in the Out Patients Depts. run about like idiots trying to cope with all the Patients, then it takes you hours to see a Specialist .... my appointment was for 1.30pm, and the time I was called in was 4.25 pm.To sit on those hard chairs is not funny when you have something wrong with your Spine. The most annoying, and certainly not called for was the actual time I had with the Specialist.... four minutes, and I came out of there wondering why I had gone in the first place. The final outcome was after four weeks I was called on the Phone to present myself to this Ward, and on arrival was told to get into bed. This I did and after three days with still no Doctor seeing me, the Sister came and said you can home if you like....I got my clothes on andf ordered a Taxi and Home I came. Now they would not get me in any Hospital ever again., and as for Doctors well on that one I am speechless....The whole system has collapsed, and after paying all my life and never used Doctors or Hospitals only for having two children.... I find as one gets older you are treated like a nobody and that you should not be living so long... The whole lot just makes me very angry... but when the time comes I will die in my own bed,,, thank you... !!

Does anyone know why we are still in Afghanistan, or why we sent our Troops in the first place. ? It seems to be one of the Countries that delight in fighting all the time, and it makes one wonder what they are fighting about... and why are our Troops are still there. ? Nothing seems to have been achieved as regards any solution to this unwanted War in the first place and yet we keep sending our Boys over there to be killed, maimed, and lives are shattered in this process. Why is it that our Government cannot see the wood from the trees, nor do they want to. Of course they do not as it is not them who are involved, only the fact that they were the instigators, but send our Boys to go through all the misery.

What are your comments on the Iranian Women who was sentenced to death,by stoning and now changed to a whipping... for not wearing a headscarf, and then more was added to Adultery. I think these people still live in the dark ages, and no wonder it has now involved the rest of the World. It would be interesting to know what the man involved, if it happened ? what happens to him.. ? Is it no wonder that a lot of these people try to escape this tyranny by moving to other Countries, where at least they are free from all of this medieval tripe. They treat women like dirt, and also think they are Baby machines, to turn children out one after the other, with no thought of how they are going to feed them, or bring them up. Do you wonder that so much poverty rages in these Eastern Countries, where life to them means nothing, but wielding a gun about is everything. It is time these people picked themselves up and look towards a better way of life, but also set about changing the whole structure of life where they live, otherwise this way of living will continue into the next Century.

On Thursday I was really fed up at looking at four walls, so I threw some clothes into a bag, got into my car, and went out. I finished up on the way to Blackpool and then went on to Clevelys, sat in my Car, and looked out to Sea, and thought to myself that we are very lucky in this Country to have such a lovely Countryside to enjoy. So I booked into an Hotel, and was pleased to see that I was booked into a Room looking over the Sea. I went out for Dinner and after, sat once again looking at the beauty of it all, and watching the People taking an evening stroll before going to bed. so came back and booked another night so I could explore some more of this Coastline the following day. After my small episode of all this I came back home feeling quite pleased that I had made that visit seeing that my Husband and I spent our Honeymoon there , and enjoyed that as well seeing that was over sixty three years ago. Sadly though he was not here to enjoy a second time around, but he was still with me as I sat in my Car thinking about him.

Here we go again.... the EU are contemplating turning all our Roads into Toll Roads... as if we do not pay enough on Road Tax... Insurance Parking etc. I hope they do not think they can bring this Law into this Country, without giving the British People a vote on it. ? because if they do I would not like to see the consequences from the British People. Since joining this lot over the water it costs us more money each year and it makes me wonder how much longer we can put up with all these antics from that lot, because all it amounts to is paying all the time with the brainless schemes they like coming up with. Our Government just gives a nod and they do as they like with us.

Who is western union and what are they involved with... does anyone know...?

Has anyone heard about Western Union Charities. They have taken money from my Bank Account and I have not got a clue to whom they are. The amount was taken over two days...£50 & £24... total £74. As I am on Pension they have taken all of that this week., and I have been left with nothing.

Had money taken from account two separate days, and I am on Pension, so cannot afford it. They are someone I do not know.. Have you heard of them ? Western Union Charities
