Hello Sally Someone explained the difference on a thread here - which I can't remember of course! but if you enter 'imbecile' in the search text above these threads I'm sure that it will bring up all relevant topics. Mags

Hi Sally, rather than repeat everything, type "imbecile" in search box. there are several threads. there are several explanations on Kerry Hunt's thread: Lunatic Asylum - Idiot or imbecile.

I have been to workhouse site, some people have Lunitic beside their name and some imbecile. I wonder what is the difference. Thank you for your attention.
