    I love the massive difference between our 2 facts @Mary_Scope 😆

    I looked up some facts about it and found out that Ice-T was originally contracted for only four episodes, but he enjoyed working on the series so much he asked to become permanent cast member!

    And nearly 30 years later he is still there @Rachel_Scope!

    Another fact….Mariska Hargitay who plays Olivia Benson was told by a psychic 6 months before she landed the role that she would be well known and incredibly famous for her very serious face and at the time Mariska was like what!! no way!! I am a happy smiley person pursuing a career in comedy and sitcoms😂😂😂

    Mine is quite shameful … how to put the washing machine onto fast spin. Never in my life have I had to

    … took me back to my childhood. Explaining like I was 5 😁

    Well done for admitting that @WelshBlue 😆 To be fair, I don't know what all the functions do on my washing machine! Now that you know are you expected to do all the washing?

    I just cooked my own tea, Pepperoni Pizza, I used to do it all the time before, but it'll be 6 months next week since I moved here, and the staff have always cooked the meals but there's been nobody around all afternoon.

    Well done for cooking your own tea @SheffieldMan1976! Great choice too. Should there be some staff around though?

    It's supposed to be, but almost never is, fully staffed 24/7.

    At the moment, more often than not there's 3 staff on to 5 residents, which works out as 0.6 humans to 5 other humans, most of whom are severely disabled, not very acceptable is it?

    No that doesn't sound good @SheffieldMan1976. Are you able to raise a complaint with someone?

    Nope.

    Social services won't talk to me, we don't even have a named social worker because the guy I did have discharged me when I moved here last year.

    I had to look this up because I couldn't believe it! Wow.

    It's crazy isn't it! I guess it's how they communicated, so if they wanted to invite someone to tea that evening they'd have to send a letter and get a response quickly!
