penalty seems fair enough (they would not be poor to afford to attend such a hotel) but I pity any care home that might have to take these two in, unless they are given proper treatment to address their behaviour (or restricted from alcohol). it does perhaps also hint they were drinking on top of benzos or other meds that old people are regularly prescribed – in which case he should never have been driving to start with!
what I do find a bit unfair is every healthcare worker for 80-100 (myself included) must have a DBS check with England or Scotland that we are not criminals or violent – but its not (yet) required for residents!
