I moved in here last year after living in the flats opposite for ten years. I was lonely when I first came here and I wouldn’t speak to anyone. People would say “how are you, are you alright?”. And that would be it. I wouldn’t say it back. People would say “Don’t talk to him, he’s miserable.” I was on my own. I thought I’ve got to change because otherwise I’m going to be a lonely man.

So I did. Now I come down and talk to people down here. When the ladies come in, I go over and say “are you alright ladies” and wheel them in. It’s the best thing I ever did coming here. They are that friendly.
