Age Concern, in Abingdon, have joined up with Help The Aged to become age uk.
And the news from the age uk website today is that …
Workers will be allowed to continue in their jobs after the age of 65 under a Government pledge to scrap the ability of firms to force employees out at retirement age. (If you can a job after age 35 that is.)
The practice of ‘bed-blocking’, keeping older people in hospital because of a lack of adequate after-care, is liable to get worse as council funding gets cut.
The word “aged” is an ADJECTIVE, properly used to modify the words “person(s)” or “people” !!! “Aged” is NOT a noun; nor is it a pronoun!!. Many other adjectives are also commonly MISUSED in a similar manner, but I’ll hold off ranting about them for now.
Parse this then:
“Blessed are the meek.”
