Can you spot a phishing email?I recommend a BT product called 'Call Guardian' I bought it off the internet after searching for an incoming telephone call blocking device. There is such a thing: its a big red button like on these TV quiz shows, but I didn't buy that as I wasn't sure it would work with my telephone. I trust the BT Call Guardian phone and it has proved very worthwhile. I have no nuisance calls as thousands of known scam numbers already are blocked, plus the recorded message that all incoming callers have to listen to, which asked the caller to say who they are, probably discourages others. Plus I can instantly block any call number that does come through and I don't want to proceed with. This would help with someone's pesky ex problem!ViewDate:

Can you spot a phishing email?I scored 6 out of 10 because I chose 'Phishing attempt' all the way through. One legit I did think possibly was ok , but I'm so anti 'click' on stuff I'm not expecting that I don't trust much! I also don't click on stuff on emails from known people if I'm not expecting them to email. Actually the hacked email addresses of known friends also do not have a greeting that is normal so that's a giveaway immediately. But I confess I know very little about the tips that the quiz gave out , such as hovering the mouse over things to reveal more info. I have learnt something! Thank you so much for putting this quiz out there!ViewDate:

Would you like to see same-sex couples dancing on Strictly?I agree with what Kes writes. I actually rarely watch it now because I can't, but have done in the past. It is all about traditional dance types where a dance couple have a 'male' role and a 'female' role which is reflected in the moves and in the costumes. I wouldn't think it would improve the program to change this. Actually I cannot identify a homosexual man or lesbian from merely looking at them and it would make me uncomfortable if someone thought I should be best entertained by having the dancers' sexuality trust into the limelight.ViewDate:

Is the constant quest for equality eroding the archetypal gender differences?Western societies are moving towards breaking down sexist attitudes and stereotyping gender roles because they do no-one any good. But changes are often hard to accept particularly for the older generation. So Mrs Pat's husband doesn't want to use an iron, or she chop down trees? That's absolutely fine, but I don't want to hear folks making comments about a man who has chosen to be a 'house husband' or a woman working in a traditionally male role.ViewDate:

What Will Be The Main Features of Charles' Kingship? - [DELETED_MEMBER]Charles ought to become the next monarch but I think this will not happen too soon, Elizabeth seems in such good health and is still enjoying what she is able to do in her role. I have an idea that when Charles' time comes he may well 'opt out'; abdicating in favour of William. But I think the English Monarchy does have a long future .
