ABOUT ME

I am deaf with 2 good National Health Service expensive but free to me digital hearing aids. I can hear if you look at me to talk to me. This is polite anyway. I manage anything I want to do. Including films and theatre with loops and infra red systems Am 78 and have had and still have an interesting life. Sociable and gregarious. Have taken over 50,000 tablets since I was 21 and diagnosed with epilepsy but no longer have fits. I am one of six children and we grew up in a railway house. My daddy had free train tickets so we always travelled and stayed with family in Dublin, Scotland and Leicester from a young age. In the 60s I hitch hiked 30,000 miles.
