Yes! It was the same here in Oz in the 60s. Big wards as you describe.

Parents were only allowed in during formal visiting hours - I think it

was harder for them than for us in some ways. No TV. Brains (ugh!) for

dinner sometimes (what were they thinking - the hospitaliers, not the

brains, that is!?). I'm sure more horrors will come to mind...

(This thread is in danger of turning into Monty Python's 'Three

Yorkshiremen' sketch: " You think you had it tough, mate! Well, we were

so poor... " Except our experiences are pretty much the same!)
