Carboniferous
So I've been slaving on the wheel of learning for almost two years now. But we're nearing the end, the proverbial light is a dim flicker at the end of a very long tunnel. Right now we're doing our group assignment. The "class" has been split into four groups of what the academics like to call learning support groups and we have to do a group assignment....
,,,, but that's not the point.
One of the group is the manager of an intermediate care centre. It's a council run facility where older people leaving hospital receive the care they need between hospital and home... wherever home may be. The client group is therefore (obviously) older people. It's a very convenient place for us to hold our group meetings and so that's just what we did the other day.
We were gathered around a laptop in what is normally the clients' dining room/lounge when I espied a flip chart. Just one word was written on the flip chart.... carboniferous. Yes, just that, carboniferous.
I turned to the centre's manager and asked him
"Does carboniferous come up a lot in conversation around here then?"
"Oh yes" says he "we talk about it all the time"
"Um, OK"
