That was the norm on a Friday afternoon, when the Councils rent collector was about. I was once in the club on the estate on a Friday evening, The prat of a Provident man thought it would be good idea to see if who he was looking for was in there, One of the worst mistakes he was ever to make Lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

We used to have a short cut to our street over a bit of rough ground,we put a trip wire across it and the poor rent man went flat,imagine the very idea of a rent man nowadays,he would be robbed at the end of every street. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There's an old guy up the road from me who was a Council rent collector when he was younger, He gave it up when he was robbed at gun point one afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Firstly apologies about taking the cowards way out then says he can't cope with the constant pain any more I don’t think it’s the cowards way out, if it means months of pain full treatment, trips in and out of hospital , things stuck up every hole and only to end up in an old biddys home just to give you a few months extra time I can see why people do it. 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bakerboy 3,253 Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 Fair do's to the bloke, I've seen too many family members suffer for months/years with cancer to think he took a cowards way out 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
paulus 26 Posted October 24, 2023 Report Share Posted October 24, 2023 It should be an option available to anybody who does not want to see it through until the end, I have watched a good few mates and family members suffer towards the end. The mother in law who have a grade 4 cancer of the brain, spent 2 weeks in a coma at the end, Just waiting for an organ to fail, No sorry but that's not for me.
