    It's a sad state of affairs if this is what it's come to .... thinking about 'a suitable hospital watch' ....... do you visit *that often when you're older?.......



    And it's great for cutting trees.
    I'm sure a saw would be best for this task, not quite sure how you're gonna get the watch to do it.............. .... but maybe Casio's have come on a bit........

    Sadly, many do. My uncle spent his last two years in hospitals and care homes, my mother about six months out of the last two years. I remember taking my uncle's watch to him and he was instantly more relaxed once oriented in time.

    Serious stuff probably doesn't belong in this thread, so maybe I'll do another thread on the hospital watch.
