I would love to. In fact our next car in a few years time will definitely be electric and I for one cannot wait. No more filthy diesel.

Not likely I am too busy living.

Yes more sport and exercise to ensure that the young generation do not grow up fat and lazy like me and my generation.

The whole Brexit fiasco is just that a fiasco. We should just stay in the EU and get on with our lives and turn to something that matters like sorting out Climate change with the rest of the EU...in fact we should be leading the charge.

In many cases I welcome automation. It makes life faster and simpler especially for an old codger like me.

I always leave a little patch to let the wildlife thrive in my garden

Yes please-I am happy to try any new foods and love Peanut butter.

This is outrageous-I read the other day that birds are getting trapped in these nets and dying. HM Gov needs to stop this immediately.

No why on earth would we want to leave with a bad deal. That would just show how totally inept the UK Government are at negotiating. If and when we leave it should be with the best deal possible. The UK voted to leave and for UK PLC to become a better place -not a worse place due to a bad deal?

We need another party like I need a hole in my head. Why? We already have the big 2 and the Liberals and the SNP and the DUP. How many more do we need and what earth shattering ideas will the new Independent Party promise.

Its a nice day for kindness and love-lovely sentiments

By and large drivers in the UK are the best mannered I have seen. Go to France and on the motorways madmen will drive a yard up your backside flashing their lights and honking their horns. Driving in Italy would make my hair fall out if I had any. Drivers gesticulating and all of them driving like Fandango. Even little Fiat drivers think they are driving in a Lamborghini.

Sometimes is the answer and I am careful about dodgy looking emails. I did have one once from my bank which was a scam but just deleted it and never heard anything more.

It would be easy if folks could take a test every year after 60. I know a lot of people in their 60's who are terrible drivers-including my wife. She drives too slowly and plays havoc with the poor old gearbox-in fact it never really gets out of 3rd gear even when she is going 35 miles an hour with the engine screaming for mercy.

Agreed it is all just a PR idea-well it seems to have worked as The Daily Mail was full of it so they have free publicity-this week at least.

I use Bic razors-they are cheap and do the job well. Should Gillette change their slogan? If I was them I would keep it as it has always been-it is memorable. What is the new one then? "The best a person can get"

There is no excuse for using poor grammar. All of us use abbreviated grammar on our phones and its just another way of communicating rather than using long sentences and words but in general we should cherish our English language.

Yes is the answer! We had too much over the last few weeks. We are also ditching chocolate, mince pies, cakes and taking up more walking, drinking water and tea.

This is total stupidity on behalf of the manufacturers and retailers. At least wait until February. But then I guess the profit motive takes over and over the last few years maybe there is a market for them in January?

We have no money left for Boxing day and anyway the only word I keep seeing everywhere for weeks is "SALE". So why would I want to go to a sale when presumably all the goods I have got for Christmas presents where in a sale anyway?

Yes of course this is total consumerism gone mad. Surely we are in the Middle of the Christmas Holidays with Easter not for another 3 and a half months?

Arthur-a good old British name.

I have never seen such a debacle as Brexit-what a joke. The original referendum was all a pack of lies from both sides. The only option is to have another referendum. If we vote out gain fine lets go out. If we vote to stay in lets forget Brexit and get on with life.

Not with the amount of beer I drink! I need to loose weight and exercise more.

Wonderful for Christmas lunch.

I agree with you and as one of the other members has put below what about the women in SOE in WW2. they were as brave as lions. In this ever changing world perhaps special forces have other tasks they will need to have done that are best done by women..

Yes there are enough opinions in this country. His boys are terrific and I think its fine for the heir to the throne to have opinions made in public but not the King or Queen. The Queen has done a fantastic job and this should be followed by Charles.

No its a lovely video with a powerful message for us all.

From what I can see a lot of kids go to university for a good time not so much to further their education. The point of university is to get a good degree and to help people in their careers. In professional jobs like doctors you need to go. For many jobs I do wonder. With a lot of technology jobs now maybe its better to go out into the workplace and get good old fashioned experience and no debt from £27,000 for 3 years at university?

Not at all. The youngsters can learn a trade which is a really valuable thing at 16/17. they do not have to fight but get self respect and some discipline. If I had my way all young men at 20 would do compulsory national service at 18-20 it would knock some sense into a lot of them, learn discipline and get many of them a lot fitter. The Israelis and Turks and Swiss do it. We should reinstate it.

I saw the final last night with my wife. They looked like a lovely bunch of kids. I wish I had looked like some of the blokes instead of an old relic with a beer belly :) All good clean fun whats not to like?

Agreed they do export more to us than vv but its 27 countries against us and we do need a civilised split. Its all very well saying we will just walk away but the UK will go into economic meltdown if that happens as we will not be able to import goods, export them or sail or ships into their ports or fly our aircraft into or over the EU.

I do think we need to vote again sixtyplusvat just to settle this once and for all and hopefully it will be a large majority either way rather than a 52/48 majority

Yes yes and yes. The whole country is in a right pickle and unless we have another vote we just will not sort this thing out. We need to agree are we staying or going BUT! and it is a BIG BUT this time people will have a lot more information about what they are voting on as last time was a total fiasco.

I wish we could retire. The old age pension would not look after my cat and dog so work on we must. My wife is not happy but working is a necessity. We will somehow retire in about 5 years maybe by selling our house and moving down to a mobile home or suchlike.

As soon as I got into my 40s I noticed my hearing become more difficult but 25 years later have not had a hearing test even though my wife wears a hearing aid. Think I will go and have a test reading this.

I think it benefits the Kids of today. The next gereration of Bankers and Fighter Pilots will not have pens and paper or joysticks and switches they will have consols and graphics like todays games-enough said.

As American Football coach Vince Lombardi once said-"Winning isn’t everything; it's the only thing" How could England not go out to win?

I sleep a lot lot less and especially in the summer I am up at 4 oclock when it gets light having gone to bed about 11.30 most nights. I have a cup of tea and then go back for a snooze. keeps me going the rest of the day.

Yes Yes and Yes. I enjoy the World Cup and really look forward to big matches between top countries and leading players-Italy, Spain, Germany, Brazil of course and dear olde England. I hope we do better this year than in past years it would be brilliant to get to the finals...ah well we can all live in hope.
