  " people with Korsakoff's syndrome or related disorders - generally with a history of alcohol dependency and self-neglect."

  we're a cynical lot on here, mind you not as much as the residents rising up against the plan. some lovely reasons given for the objection but i suspect property values is more what it is about.

  Eastry Hospital was indeed such a place Brian. "Dazed" people could often be seen wandering around the village.
