Way back when I was working as a paid carer the 1980's and 90's many of the people I use to go to never saw or spoke to anyone from my visit to the next, in the 80's not everyone had a phone in the house either which made it even more difficult as we didn't have mobile phones then.

So sad
I am lucky to have the Internet and all of you lovely people
