@oldenoughtosay It would go small van, van (transit, inc long-wheel-base I think they’re called), truck (esp if they’re carrying animals), lorry anything above the sort of vehicle that carries lots of sheep. If no animals but that size I’d prob still say truck, but also maybe small lorry.

What is odd about the Assisted Dying discussion is the silence around the biggest killer of older people, dementia. Because it is impossible for someone with dementia to give informed consent. But it is also impossible, or very difficult, for them to give consent before their dementia renders them not lucid enough to do so, because the present bill only covers those with no more than six months to live. So at the moment the main issue is not in the conversation.
Lovely moment at the nursing home service. A 90 year old lady from Elgol, Skye, on hearing 'Amazing Grace', sang the whole hymn from memory in Gaelic and with perfect pitch. “I never learned English till I was 9, and I’ve never sung in Gaelic since then until this afternoon.”

@DrFrancisYoung@TheWomanfredi Well, according to St Hippolytus of Rome’s Rite of Ordination, we are instructed to ‘lift up your hearts’, so I’m good with it being a celebration, tbh.
