Would love to go to a Music festival - any suggestions?I don't know whether you found a festival that you liked the sound of. If not, I would suggest Fairport's Cropredy Convention. Fairport Convention are a folk rock band and have a variety of groups playing over the three day festival which, next year is 11th - 13th August. There are campsites available to book which are walking distance to the festival. The festival is a very friendly affair and is held in the village of Cropredy just outside of Banbury, Oxfordshire.ViewDate:

Should Handstands and Cartwheels be banned in school playgrounds?Playing these sorts of games teaches children to be responsible and caring because they should be checking for a relatively clear space before cartwheeling or doing a handstand. However, bumping into each other whilst playing is just part of growing up and helps children to understand that there are risks in every activity and from that they learn to minimise these.ViewDate:

Is Chris Evans a suitable replacement presenter for Top Gear?Although Chris Evans may have the passion and knowledge of cars, he has too dominant a presenting style to work alongside anyone else, you only have to watch the Friday edition of The One Show to see that. Any way he has said no Other suggestions have been Damon Hill and David Coultard but they don't appear to be able to really enthuse people. Eddie Jordan would be good as would Guy Martin if he knows as much about cars as he does about bikes.ViewDate:

Should Jeremy Clarkson be sacked or reinstated?I haven't voted because the full details of what actually happened have not been published. If the BBC sack JC then that will be the end of Top Gear - the three very different characters of May, Hammond and Clarkson are an integral part of the show's successful format and I don't think that a replacement for one of them would work at all.ViewDate:

Is it important to know how to use grammar correctly?All languages have changed and evolved over the years and this has to be expected and accepted. However, I do get irritated by grammatical errors such as using 'of' instead of 'have', e.g. 'should of' rather than 'should have' and the wrong use of apostrophes which can change the whole meaning of a sentence. English is a very complex language and it's very important that its correct usage continues to be taught throughout children's schooling.ViewDate:

Will you vote in the 2015 General Election?Voting in a general election should be compulsory for all those eligible to do so. There should be an abstention box included for those who do not agree with any of the parties' candidates standing in their area so a true reflection of people's feeling can be gauged. In this way everyone will know that their voice has been heard.ViewDate:

Should 'Dippy' the dinosaur be replaced with a Blue Whale?Time for a change and having a real object (the blue whale) will be spectacular! Dippy has been a great attraction but I am sure the blue whale will become just as popular.ViewDate:

Do you use self scan or do you prefer human contact?I use a checkout with a cashier for my big weekly shop but if I go in for just one or two items then I use the self scan checkout because it saves queuing. I generally shop at Sainsbury's and their cashiers have just the right amount of friendly banter without delaying your checkout.ViewDate:

Outrage as Cadbury's owner changes Creme Egg recipePerhaps this is a good thing because it will stop me eating them!! Hopefully this will hit Kraft's profit margins so much that they will change back to using Cadbury's Dairy Milk.ViewDate:

What are your views on hospital car park charging?Everyone visiting hospital for whatever reason should have to pay for parking in hospital car parks. However, it should be a reasonable hourly fee, payable on exit so people are only paying for the time they were actually parked. To have to buy a ticket on entry is so unrealistic because you never know how long appointments are going to take and having to clock watch only adds to the anxiousness. If patients have regular appointments for specific ongoing treatment, they should be eligible for special rates.ViewDate:

Is it time to make drink driving zero tolerance?Zero tolerance would take away all the guesswork and stop drivers' excuses. Simples!ViewDate:

Online or High Street?At Christmas I shop mainly online because my daughters and their families all have Amazon wish lists. I know then that I am buying them something they really want! I do tend to buy locally for great nephews and nieces though and enjoy the experience of browsing shops at Christmas before choosing their presents. Since retiring I can enjoy it even more by shopping earlier when our town is less busy.ViewDate:

Do you think the Sainsbury's advert is moving or cynical?The advert was completed by Sainsbury's in collaboration with the Royal British Legion and they are selling chocolate bars, like the one in the advert, for £1 with all profits going to RBL. I haven't seen the advert on TV so don't know whether this is made clear - I only realised this from an article on Facebook! I think the advert is very moving and have bought several chocolate bars to give to family at Christmas in order to further support RBL.
