Now this is a retirement home

[JAS]

Amazing how bored you get when there's no footy and you're waiting for your quiz fix

This place got mentioned on QI last night so I couldn't resist looking it up. Shame they closed it down...kind of place I'd have put my name down for

Haslemere home for the elderly
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

This old peoples' home located in Great Yarmouth, England, achieved a certain notoriety when in September 1960, Gladys Elton, an 81 year old resident of the home, for reasons best known to herself conceived the idea of performing a striptease for her fellow residents of the home; unfortunately such was the effect of Elton's performance that it caused the death of one resident by way of a cardiac arrest and necessitated the treatment for shock of five other residents.

The same home went on to achieve more "fame" the next year when another resident, 87 year old Harry Meadows killed another 3 residents through dressing up as the grim reaper and and peering through the residents' lounge window whilst holding a scythe! As a result of this the home was forced to shut.

I was assuming I'd be about 90, and it was the Grim Reaper thing that really appealed!

"It's a Mr Death or something. He's come about the reaping"
