Are Harry, Meghan, Archie and Lili coming back home?

It would be nice to have them back and getting along with the rest of the family, what do people think? They'd have to apologise and try to move forward in a positive way. With Charles being unwell and elderly, and the Wales kids too young to serve as working royals, the Sussex's may be needed. Trump may win the election, which could have a negative impact on them and Archie will start school soon, a great time to relocate home?? Apparently Meghan is looking for PR agencies to help her improve her image. Would the Uk welcome them?

@Kjones27 I spent 10 years working in nursing home & care settings. 3/4 of nursing home residents are over the age of 80. The under 60/70/80's ARE the minority. This is also mainly due to disability and health related issues, rather than old age. Your comment 'Yes some people can remain very healthy into their late seventies for sure' is an extremely ageist view. Most people in their 70's are perfectly functioning people, not all decrepit geriatrics.

Edited

Youre ridiculous

I completely disagree with you.

Saying that people in their 70s suffer with more physical health problems than younger people is not ageist. Its simple fact.

Do you want me to show you health statistics?

One example. My 76 year old aunt recently broke her arm. She went to many meetings about what to do to treat her.

They were reluctant to do surgery on her, solely because of her age.

They said That it is medical fact that it is more risky to do surgery on elderly people. That their bodies do not recover as well as younger people.

yes sadly you're right.

I imagine he’ll be in the jungle next. Unless ITV feel their gamble didn’t pay off.

That may very much depend on how the royals react to it behind the scenes.

montblancc · 09/03/2024 12:09

@Kjones27 Your 76 year old aunt not having NHS treatment for an injury isn't a statistic and is completely unrelated to the age of people in care. Was that supposed to be a gotcha moment? It didn't work.

Feel free to disagree. It doesn't mean you are correct. I'm happy to be called ridiculous by you to be honest. It gave me a good laugh.

Kjones27 · 09/03/2024 12:12

While we are talking about care homes.

I sometimes think that people say to themselves "70s is young" as they are in denial and they don't want to think about how little time they have left.

a 70 year old man said to me the other day
"70 is young".

I was thinking "it's not". But I didn't say It to him

The reality is its not young. Average life expectancy age is early 80s. So when you re in your late 70s you realistically only have a couple of years left.

Being old is not bad. Being 70s is not bad. But I think it's important to be realistic. 70s is not young
.

Samcro · 09/03/2024 12:14

ahh but to me 70 is young. but to my son its ancient, i think it depends on how old you are your self.

I didn't say the she didn't receive treatment did I. Read it again.

I said a group of medical professionals were specifically assigned to her to conduct risk analysis.

They do it for everyone that is elderly before surgery. As it such a big risk for people in their late 70s to have surgery.

Surgeons risk - assess elderly people before they do surgery on them, as there is so much risk for elderly people to have surgery.

She did receive treatment

montblancc · 09/03/2024 12:15

I'm not quite sure some people understand how averages work..

montblancc · 09/03/2024 12:17

@Kjones27 please can you tell me where your elderly aunt receiving/not receiving treatment for her broken arm is relevant to the age of care home residents?

Kjones27 · 09/03/2024 12:17

I think we do @montblancc .

Pushtart · 09/03/2024 12:19

There is no need for the nitpicking, as the poster was simply saying that it's not ageist to say that being in your 70's is elderly/old etc and that there are people in care homes at that age. Whats the big friggin deal? honestly....

For sure

I was replying to her point where she said that "Most people in their 70's are perfectly functioning people"

I said that is completely incorrect

All health studies show that our physical functions decrease when we are in our seventies

And I pointed out that medical professionals will also treat us differently in our 70s, as they have to risk assess us before treatments, due to our age

Kjones27 · 09/03/2024 12:23

I would disagree. What about when we change jobs.

People usually change jobs every couple of years. And people make friends at new jobs.

I am still friends with some people I was at school with - over 50 years ago . Also with university friends . Yes I have added more to my friendship circle but I don’t agree with dumping friends just because I have some new ones .

Yeah i have friends from long ago. But I constantly make new ones too

Mylovelygreendress · 09/03/2024 12:31

Which is what I said @Kjones27 🤷‍♀️

AliceOlive · 09/03/2024 12:34

I was recently accused online by another woman of having no friends at all. It’s not true but think how that accusation might have felt to someone who is truly struggling, depressed and lonely. It could have caused a major crisis for someone who was truly friendless.

I’ve seen someone bullied off on MN and delete their account even in the past week. (MN deleted the thread and said the poster deactivated.)

she was referred to as 'the showgirl' by one member of the RF 😮

How do you know this?

You are stating something as fact - what is your evidence?

**Roussette · Today 11:12

Maybe look it up?**

Ouch!

Does your response mean you made this up?

Or you don’t have a credible source?

Maybe you could retract your ‘fact’ if you want to maintain your integrity.

Puzzledandpissedoff · 09/03/2024 12:45

Gottseidank · 09/03/2024 08:57

Please Mumsnet, bring in an ‘ignore’ function.

Also a frequent namechange ban, please, while they're at it

We see this time after time, where a poster will obsessively spam threads with post after post, only to swap names and do the same again

skullbabe · 09/03/2024 12:47

I don't think it would be technically possible to do a name change ban.

Technically I don't think it's possible to ban anyone from any forum. It just doesn't work

You can't block anyone from any website forever.

I'm on another forum.

They say in that forum, that they will forum ban people if they misbehave.

They will forum ban someone , but that person just re-registers ten minutes later.

It’s tedious when MnHQ do nothing about it even when very glaring spag habits make it glaringly the obvious when it’s the same person

Especially if they repeatedly use personal attacks before flouncing to a new name.

It’s making other royal forums much more appealing. Which is a shame as one of the things I like about this one is that most people have the ability to agree to disagree and aren’t all royalist or anti royal. It’s a good mix generally.

Youre saying that they do nothing about it.

But technically they actually can't do anything about it.

The technology doesn't currently exist

To sign up to mumsnet or any forum you just need any email address. You can do this with as many email addresses as you want.

The only way websites can trace you is through your ip address and that your up address can be hidden through vpn servers/ mobile apps

They can when people only name change as the link is there.

And they could stamp on it much harder, especially on the personal attacks, on the forum.

Several websites I use have people who are ban on site. You can’t stop them rejoining, but that doesn’t mean you just have to let them ruin thread after thread and repeatedly attack posters. Generally they get bored and go pester another forum after a while.
