i thought it was really sad!

Oh I think its lovely that his son cares enough to find company for him, some wouldnt bother- Just leave dad sat in the lounge watching re-runs of 'Dads Army' etc.

• it is 'sad' in the sense though that he is obv lonley.

I think it's sad too....

very enterprising son! I hope they find a good person.

I think it nice, no different from an eldery lady asking for a conpanion (sp).

GOOD ON HIM - and I hope they are getting carers break funding, attendance allowance or carers allowance to pay them aswell. I hate it when my elderly patients give up activities important to them
