Speakers Corner CommentsWhat are others comments with regard to Piers Morgan. I totally agree with everything he said, and why should he have to resign because of his views. He is rather like Marmite, you either love him or hate him.ViewDate:

Should NHS nurses get more than a 1% pay rise?Yes I think NHS workers are worth a lot more than a 1% rise. How can we forget the dedication they gave to their work during this pandemic. Compare their work and pay to government pay and work and I know who I would give the extra money to.ViewDate:

Street Hawkers of the 1950sLooking into my ancestry and I discover on the 1901 census that my great grandad's occupation was Hawker. He had a horse and cart and used to deliver coal. When he died is bequeath his business to 2 of his sons don;t know how much longer it traded.ViewDate:

“Number, please?”I was an office junior when I left school and in my first job I was trained to use a PABX plug switchboard. I loved it, later I changed jobs (for more money - of course) and had to use a different kind of switchboard with flashing lights etc. Couldn't get the hang of it. Also did all the typing on a manual typewriter - no laptops then!ViewDate:

School dinners – did you love them or hate them?i hated school dinners but no one ever took a packed lunch in the 50's/60's. I do remember taking 5 shillings every Monday for the weeks dinners.(25p in todays money). My mum used to give me 2 half crowns to give to the teacher.ViewDate:

The age of the Mods and RockersI was a mod in the 60's. Loved everything about it. Clothes , hair, scooters. My boyfriend had a vespa. Union Jack sides, mirrors, fur seat. Chrome, the lot. Dancing at the local Mecca. I am 70 now but but still love the memories.ViewDate:

Will you watch the Sussexes' Oprah interview?I will watch out of curiosity, but I do think Meghan has taken Harry for a ride. She definitely wears the trousers in that relationship. Harry needs to grow a backbone and put is foot down before things get much worse, which it will.ViewDate:

Older grandchildren who never say Thank Your for Christmas or Birthday chequesHi Topsie , I also have the same problem. 4 grandchildren, always receive thank you's from 2 of them but not the other 2. I agree that they could pick up the phone, e-mail or a thank you card but won't hold my breath. I think a lot is to do with how they are brought up. Maybe my daughter-in-law was brought up differently but my son should know that it's only good manners to say thank you.ViewDate:

1950s & 60s Dancehalls/BallroomsHi everyone, I'm new here, so here goes. Anyone remember the "mecca, otherwise known as the spinning disc" Leeds. Great times there in the mid sixties onwards. Long ago now! But was the place to go, great people, great atmosphere, great everything.
