Should noisy snacks be banned from the cinema?If people want to eat food whilst at the cinema that is their right. If I want to watch a film without disruption or the constant rustling of crisp packets or toffee papers then that is my right. Clearly then their has to be a compromise and this compromise should be generated by the people who are causing the problem. The cinema companies charge to watch a film, the cinema companies sell snacks, sweet and drinks. It should be the cinema owners who solve this problem by putting a ban on noisy wrapping materials. Such things as brown paper bags, wrapper less sweets etc. It should be the cinema owners who put in place a method of policing this. Ironic that we are all exposed to that advert about turning off mobile phones.. which may disturb our viewing for a brief amount of time. Yet we have to suffer the rustling of bags and sweet wrappers all the way through the film.....ViewDate:

Should we rule out imported chlorinated chicken from the USA?When I was at School in the mid 1950's I was the only pupil that suffered with Asthma. In my lifetime I have witnessed a substantial rise of Asthma cases alongside many new forms of allergic reactions to food, as well as learning difficulties such as ADHD etc. I my lifetime I have also seen the demise of the corner shop and the rise of the supermarkets. We in this country have legislative standards that govern how our food is processed, what is sprayed on our crops and the chemicals our livestock are exposed to, we may not all agree with these standards but in the main their intent is a positive one. Many countries do not have such standards or come anywhere near these standards and it is therefore paradoxical that a large proportion of food is being imported from these countries by the multi national conglomerates and being sole for our digestion. Is the rise in this countries health issues and the substantial increase in the level of food imports coincidence or is there a correlation between the two. My opinion is that importing food from the US that has been treated in this way will most likely add fuel to the fire.ViewDate:

Does the phasing out of wet wood and coal affect how you heat your home?As can be seen from the poll above the phasing out of wet wood will have little impact on climate change or pollution, it will only impact those in more rural areas. Should Japan or China open another coal fired power station then this will more than negate the effect of this ban. The government as usual have not though this through and provided little education on the subject. There has been no definition of 'Wet Wood' and many people are under the misapprehension that wet wood is just that ..Wet Wood, instead of the real fact that wet wood is 'unseasoned wood'. Once again that this is a token move by the government to 'be seen to be green'. Once more they have gone for the minority small fry instead of tackling the big issues.... Such as championing and unifying world policy on the reduction of global warming. As for electric cars and electric heating, where is all this electric coming from, nuclear power ? What happens to the waste ? Or coal fired fossil fuel power stations ?. Wind turbines would not cut the mustard. Where is the build programme to provide all the electrical resources that will be required ? Surely such a programme should be running in parallel with the proposed ban of fossil fuel cars by 2025. How will people in houses with no parking facilities ( millions of them) charge their cars.. will we have extension leads over the pavements. Would it not make more sense to fit "particulate" filters to all cars. Such filters could be changed on a service or a more frequent if require. This would then give our younger generation time to plan and instigate a long term solution, rather than a knee jerk reaction in the wrong direction by the generation currently in power. Sorry... end of the rant ! Just put it down to age or is it 'Wisdom with age?ViewDate:
