Maybe, if it is the former, she will invite us in for a cuppa when some of us have our DL con down that way next year. Assuming that she will still be here, or summat.

My Dad has just marked the 2 year point of him being in a care home. Last time I saw him he was humming along to Chritmas carols. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

maryportfuncity 10,646 Posted December 19, 2017 To be more accurate - assuming anyone's looking at her for a time sensitive dead pool - the low life expectancy of care home residents in the UK owes something to the fact many families delay putting anyone in a home because the fees can be crippling. In June's case the availability of cash is likely to be less of an issue - so she may well have arrived in a fairly good state and be capable of outlasting the average life expectancy from that point. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChicaTaz 0 Posted December 21, 2017 June Whitfield will give us a few years yet I'm sure. Same for Prunella Scales. But I'd put a few quid on Barbara Windsor and fenella fielding. I hope I'm wrong. I adore fenella. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
