@hbdchick Yes. OK. Applying the Hajnal line makes sense in this case. -

@hbdchick Saw an NTV program on it. It's a rural problem. Villages of frail elderly. Their solution is to hang a flag outside daily.. -
@PCOwen_a wow. that's pretty sad. =/ -
@hbdchick Yes. They assign flag checking duties to each other and phone the inspector. The schools they attended are now their day centres.
