They go on holidays to the likes of Butlins holiday camps etc, and the public are by and large , brilliant with them. he finds that teenage girls will get up and dance with them, talk to them, and it is a joy to see. Myself and my wife have had a group here from time to time with my son, tea in the garden etc, and you have to be prepared for strange behaviour from them. On one occasion one guy, a big lad, just got up from the chair and went into my bedroom, and got into my bed with his boots on etc, gave us a laugh afterwards. I am very proud of the job my son does, and his residents are very well looked after, and treated to a good life, kt
