Do you think 'grid girls' should be banned in F1?The very concept demeans women and the 'sport' of F1. When there are F1 women drivers it will be a sign of equality and help to do away with the age old titillation of males in misogynistic set ups.ViewDate:

How often do you wash your bed sheets?Once a fortnight. We shower or take a bath daily so feel this is adequate.ViewDate:

What is the greatest challenge to good mental health in later life?Depression in later life can have many and combinations of causes but I think loss of independence would rank high if you have always been actively autonomous. Keeping up with people using social media could help enormously. Being computer literate enables you to opt into so many things from making doctor's appointments to getting good deals, booking taxis and assisted travel and keeping up with grand and great grandchildren. Perhaps, as a society, we should prioritise getting older people up to speed with computing and social media.ViewDate:

Great books to read with your grandchildrenThe best-loved story book in our household (for 3-5 year olds) is, 'Dogger' by Shirley Hughes. Life-affirming!ViewDate:

Role of Grandparent - Disciplinarian or Fun Maker?Your kids will know that you will be the same sort of grandparent as you were a parent although you get to hand the grandkids back, eventually. The emphasis should be on providing security and consistency and that is usually achievable by being a fun maker, a bit like you were when you were on holiday with your kids. I want to remember the good times and want my grandkids to have happy memories too. Common sense and kindness prevail.
