Food Company ’Meals on
wheels ‘proved they were worth their weight in gold when they were unable to
deliver food to a woman in her 70s who had got stuck in her bath.
The unnamed woman went
without food for over a week because she could not climb out of the tub at her
home in Loughborough, Leicestershire.
Dawn Jackson from
Wiltshire Farm Foods was unable to get hold of her on the phone to deliver her
meals so became concerned. They contacted police who broke in and discovered
the woman, who was hungry, but otherwise fine, and told officers she had been
there for eight days.
