@jextxadore It’s sort of strange to me that when you look at the pictograms they actually represent words for you. I suspect a part of the appeal to me is that they don’t. They’re just lines and shapes, without the baggage of verbal associations.
@jextxadore Would you have to practise for 75 years to be able to produce the essential version?
@jextxadore Since I don’t actually need to write anything specific, I can pick the ones I feel like painting.
@hazardwarning It does take a few months to set up — and then more time and hassle to get each of the relevant banks & other bodies to recognise it. If you haven’t already done it, it probably isn’t worth it now. My father actually wanted to do it, and started it in good time, but it took months and months between starting it and actually being able to operate his banking for him.

@hazardwarning It should definitely be paid from his money, not yours, as long as he has enough.

@matigo It costs about £8/10 per visit from the ones my parents use. That’s for a half hour slot. So it works out a bit over £500 per month for their twice daily visits.
