   As said someone before, its a sad reflection on modern city life..everyone in so much of a rush and so wrapped up in themselves and their own lives that no-one spares 2minutes in their day to ask if an elderly neighbour is ok. Sadly I wouldn't be surprised if the neighbours knew she lived there or even her name.... RIP Mrs Purvis

   have to agree with the comments about social services , also the local council must have not been payed their council tax - unless as has been suggested all by direct debit ( unlikely i would have thought ) , mind you not at all surprised , we had a similar case not far from me - lady been there at least 3 years - no one gave a stuff , , there are a LOT of lonely and socially isolated people in this country - we don't ALL have this mythical "support group" much beloved of government "experts" , many have NO friends AND families who don't give a c**P .
   as to raising awareness ?? yea right , people think that its not THEIR problem , and are just not interested , never be surprised if it did not happen to me too .

   how very sad, but for God's sake Sheila from Manchester, you're even blaming Maggie Thatcher for this? If Mrs T was a sad old lady living near you would you not bother checking to see if she was ok then? We have a lot of elderly neighbours and do our best to help them all out as and when necessary - and we're Tories - hope that doesn't upset your theory too much...
