No but after reading this article I will be.

Terrible situation and especially for the people who have lost homes and thousands of poor animals caught up in this.

I forgot to add on my comment below yes we are more careful about what we buy with plastic and refer to it as "plastic tat" i.e. rubbish. Its the governments who need to bring in legislation to sort this mess out and companies who produce the plastic/bottles etc to be shamed into producing recyclable plastics.

We have seen a Netflix programme and only 8-9% of plastic that is put in our recycle bins is actually recycled which is dreadful and a total waste of money for all involved plus masses of extra diesel with all the bin lorries collecting it. It cannot be beyond the wit of the government to legislate for products to be made of recycled plastic-can it?

Not dry but yes a little damp!

Total stupidity. By September we will be on the Merry go round of Christmas 2020 as well. We need to stop and reflect on our consuming society. Sure companies are making money and need to but Easter Eggs at New Year?????

Not serious ones. I always tell myself to drink less alcohol not that I am a big drinker. Lasts about 2 weeks into January.

Yes as always however I have always though the plastic gifts inside are total rubbish and a waste.

We always send cards to our friends. It is part of Christmas. Not sure the younger generation will keep doing this though.

It should be the best comedy show this week. Mind you the one last night with Prince Andrew was pretty funny as well.

What a fiasco. What annoys me is I am paying with my taxs for this fool to flying all over the world, play golf and play with girls. Maybe it is all of us who are stupid not him. I love the Queen she is wonderful but all the shower around her like Andrew are just a total joke and especially as the great British public are paying for them all. They need to get out and do a proper days work.

Yes I definitely am. Last year I purchased a bike on a website and got roughly 50% discount. It was the bargain of the year. I have some other items I need including Christmas presents and will be spending a good few hours looking about and buying if the deal is there.

Its a democracy which is a wonderful thing.

Wonderful prize we love the good o'll USA

It makes me dream especially strong chedder.

I do think the youngsters should have their say. We have messed up enough. Time to pass on the baton in life.

A large percentage and look at the mess they have got us into.

Not a bad idea. look at Corbyn would you trust somebody like him to vote? I am saying that as a chap in his 60s. The world is turning the youngsters are taking over the world. Let them make decisions. We have cocked it up enough. It is time to pass on the baton to a more sensible generation.

When I worked at a building site back in the 70s most of the blokes used to do this. Mind you the majority (like myself) used to get about crawling on our knuckles so there was not a lot of brain power about.

I think the idea is sound but not having hard shoulders is dangerous

Bring back hard shoulders or at the very least have frequent "bays" broken down cars can go in.

Totally agree

I agree with all your comments

Let the people have their say. This is the mother of democracy.

Yes I do for one simple reason-we have got to get a grip on our way of life or with climate change we are facing a catastrophe which is going to affect our kids and grandkids and their kids. The evidence for the changing climate is there from thousands of scientists and makes sense. If we ourselves have a disease and the doctor says treat it we treat it. It is the same here we simply must act now and I think the Extinction Rebellion mob are getting all our attention. There may be disruption but unless we get the human carbon footprint down we and our fellow animals could be facing extinction. These protests are a small price to pay to at least start changing all our way of life and reducing our carbon footprint-QUICKLY!

Yes because some people use it far too much. In my day-the 1960's-we were smacked a lot by parents, teachers, policemen which did install discipline but I know some parents carried it too far.

I bought the Times or the Telegraph for years and have stopped it a few years ago and now just subscribe to the Times online. I have noticed I read in a different way though. More fleeting and I only take about 20 minutes to read the whole paper online verses about an hour with the actual paper.

Almost certainly. We used to book packages to Spain back in the old days but for the last few years we have just booked an easyjet flight and our hotels on Booking.com-I think its cheaper and it couldn't be easier.

What a great idea-going to order now for the weekend.

Yes and No. It depends who the influencer is.

Yes why not we live in an equal society and I read the other day that the new head of Cyber Intelligence in the UK is a lady in her 40s. But who would do it? I would think she would have to be an unknown.

This is a total outrange! The UK is not some tinpot country, some authoritarian dictatorship, some joke ruled by a president-This is the mother of democracy.What on earth does Boris think he is doing? We know and he knows-he is trying to stifle debate and it is just not cricket. If the UK with our history of debate and democracy allows this I am afraid for us all. Stop the rot-let Parliament debate Bexit Boris. What are you afraid of ? loosing the debate?...I may add I am a lifelong Tory as well and I am ashamed.

Yes without a doubt! As a born optimist I think this is true. My family are all optimistic and have had some downers in life but just pull themselves together and get on with it. They are also lucky enough to be living into their high 80's and 90's as well. That is the proof of the pudding as they say.

We have a good scheme in our village

I enjoy the Amazon channels-some good films

I would worry that it is not secure and could be hacked and who would actually have my data anyway? Amazon? I think not!

They are lovely. So long its not near our cities they should be reintroduced.

No they should not be culled. They have every right to be where they want to be. We are a nation of animal lovers and they are as much a part of the skies in the UK as sparrows, pigeons and magpies. Leave them alone and get better bins if the council do not want them foraging for food.

Try nudging 20 stone. It doesn't work. You will need a battering ram.

I am so large that I tend to "spill" over into my fellow passengers seats anyway. Sorry if you do sit next to me in "cowshed" class.
