I have had my phone on airplane mode. Also an out of office on email. Hasn’t deterred anyone from getting in touch. Merely resulted in them using MULTIPLE methods of trying to contact me. (No urgent issues or concerns) Frustrating.

One thing that is true in this age of "AI" is that authenticity is going to be prized more than ever before. A single hand-scrawled sign is going have more impact than the smoothest "AI" image because the people seeing it knows it comes from someone's brain, not a tuned algorithm.

Lewy body dementia is not always recognised - even by medical professionals.
All week, we have been receiving messages from people who were told originally they had a different kind of dementia, or something else entirely, before they finally got the correct diagnosis.

No “letters” delivered to us for more than three weeks. Son’s RadioTimes subscription is rendered useless. None of the comms re elderly carees, from DWP/NHS, delivered since November. Parcels dumped on doorstep without them even knocking. #RoyalMail FAIL. And NO WAY to complain - has to be a sender!
Privatisation of UK's Royal Mail going well then?
