You should point out that you yourself take data protection so seriously that you've already posted the juicy bits on a public internet forum.

It was the timesheet for one of the carers and it contained some pretty stark comments about the oldies and gentlemen.

Mrs xxxx 'Has an alcohol problem, please report any alcohol abuse'

Mrs xxx 'Lots of money, losing her faculties. Do not accept gifts, report any predators'

Mr xxx 'A feisty chap. Male Carer if possible'

So "yes" then

I'd avoid the one where the feisty chap lives. The old dear with lots of money sounds like a good start.
