Do you sleep with a snorer?I didn't used to snore but do now and especially after a few beers..... it drives my wife mad and she hits me to stop it. It works...for about 5 minutes...she also snores so when our kids come home for a weekend they shout at our room to stop that ********y noise!!!!!!ViewDate:

Do you find car headlights dazzling when driving at night?I do think as we get older our eyes become more sensitive to lights especially when driving at night.ViewDate:

Are touchscreens in cars too distracting for drivers?My daughter has a car with a touchscreen and I just don't understand why car manufacturers don't stick with simple dials etc as you can use them without looking at them. Want the car to be hotter turn the dial right-simple!ViewDate:

Are you particular about loading your dishwasher?Strange question but sensible at that. I load the dishwasher the same as I have for about 40 years. I wash all plates prior to going in and the cutlery so we do not get a blocked dishwasherViewDate:

Would you be happy to be weighed before boarding a flight?My weight currently is such that I could break the scales! Maybe the airlines should offer larger seats for chaps like me. I always look at the Club Class seats with envy and then literally squeeze myself into economy or "cattle class" seats mooing away like a bull.ViewDate:

Should ex-Post Office boss lose her CBE or hand it back voluntarily?WE have seen the ITV programme and it is a total disgrace what happened to our postmasters and mistresses. The main media should have picked up on this scandle years ago and so should the government. Don't even get me going on senior members of the Post Office and Fujitsu??? What is wrong with people? Thank goodness for individuals like Alan Bates-what a brave man.ViewDate:

Does your car have a spare wheel?I have never really thought about this and have just checked our Citreon and it has not got one?ViewDate:

Does your car have a spare wheel?Not much point calling the AA though if you do not have a spare wheel or tyre?ViewDate:

Would you try Christmas Pudding flavoured crisps?Yes I will try anything once just to see what it's like. I look forward to my test.ViewDate:

Should ultra-processed foods be labelled ‘addictive’?Yes of course it it is bad for you and most of this junk food is. That is why it is called...JUNK.ViewDate:

Will you be pumpkin carving and buying Halloween treats?Always great fun with the grandkids-we do it but they "help"ViewDate:

Do you rake up your leaves?I am lazy so use a leaf blower to blow them all into a corner then just put a tarpaulin on top of them with a few rocks-next week I repeat again and so on. lazy but efficient.ViewDate:
5th Oct 2023Bald123 commented on:
Do you agree with the decision to axe HS2 northern leg?What I want to know is how the project under Cameron went from a budget of c£10 million to now £108 million??. I have a friend whose son is working on HS2 and he said the waste of money is astonishing and it's like there is no budget. What is wrong with the UK? Why can we not build major infrastructure to budget and on time? The last good example was the Channel tunnel since then it all seems a fiasco (Apart from the new Elizabeth line under London).ViewDate:

Do you think that the speed limit should be reduced to 20mph on all urban roads?My grandson lives in London and when I go there the majority of the roads are 20 mph. It can be frustrating at some points to go so slow but most of the time that is fast in London. The point is at 20mph if you hit someone in your car they will probably survive. That is why 20 mph speed limit is sensible especially when kids can be running about on the streets.ViewDate:

Do you think XL Bully dogs should be banned?People who have them should be banned from having dogs as well.ViewDate:
16th Sep 2023Bald123 commented on:
Do you think XL Bully dogs should be banned?I agree; an untrained dog is a nuisance no matter what breed it is.ViewDate:
16th Sep 2023Bald123 commented on:
Do you think XL Bully dogs should be banned?Most of the problem here is not the dogs-it's the owners. They should be banned from having dogs.ViewDate:

Would you consider being a Deliveroo rider?I like cycling so yes I think it would be fun to be a Deliveroo driver. A few extra quid on the side. But I would only want to do it in the day when and not when it is raining...any chance of that?ViewDate:
3rd Aug 2023Bald123 commented on:
Should we consider limiting children's smartphone use time?It seems to me all youngsters are fixated on their phones and computers playing games the whole time. They are obviously quite addictive but it's probably just a phase. When my kids were young they used to pay with Japanese Tamagotchi which was a simple game where you fed "it" etc. The fad soon passed and they are normal adults now.ViewDate:

Are there too many social media sites?The only one I trust is Whatsapp and Facebook. The rest are rubbish.ViewDate:
25th Jul 2023Bald123 commented on:
Do you own an electric car?I do not own one but my next car will definitely be one. I am sick of all the diesel fumes that get spewed out of cars and vans around here. I look forward to the day of zero pollution on our roads. It cannot come soon enough.ViewDate:
25th Jul 2023Bald123 commented on:
Do you support Just Stop Oil activists or have they gone too far?I totally agree-it is a good idea but they have really upset the public and done absolutely nothing to stop carbon emissions.ViewDate:
25th Jul 2023Bald123 commented on:
Do you support Just Stop Oil activists or have they gone too far?It is a good awareness campaign but they have gone too far. By all means protest on the side of reads etc but not in the middle of them.ViewDate:
14th Jul 2023Bald123 commented on:
Should we be penalised with airport drop off charges?The airport charges are the most infuriating charges I know of. We live near Luton and they used to charge £1 years ago just to drop our family off at the airport for a flight. Now Stanstead are charging £7?? Why? We just hate this type of rip-off. My son flew from Gatwick recently and that was £5. It really is an outrage.ViewDate:

Is the digital world excluding older people?I use my mobile phone for car parking, texts, whatssapp the list is endless. It is so convenient. Remember the 1970s and 80s with telephone boxs and pockets weighed down with coins-what a nightmare that was!ViewDate:
6th Jul 2023Bald123 commented on:
Are you concerned about mass train station ticket office closures?I am not worried at all-it's call progress and all the banks and most shops I think will eventually close. It is part of being in the digital age.ViewDate:
20th Jun 2023Bald123 commented on:
Do you give your dog a raw food diet?I give my dog a mixture of dry dog food and cooked meats and leftovers from us . His coat is shiny and he is full of beans so its a positive diet for himViewDate:

Are you partial to a daytime power nap?I read the papers in the morning and by 11 I am so bored I have a nap. Been doing it for years. Mind you I am an early riser, up with the Larks.ViewDate:
21st May 2023Bald123 commented on:
Was leaving the EU a mistake?I agree with you I just don't know what benefits we have leaving the EU. We are now total outcasts. Why on earth would the UK leave the biggest trading bloc in the world?????ViewDate:
21st May 2023Bald123 commented on:
Was leaving the EU a mistake?After all the boohaha of Brexit the whole thing has turned out to be a damp squid. What I want to know is where the £250 million per week Boris said would go to help fund the NHS? Probably in his pockets!ViewDate:
19th May 2023Bald123 commented on:
Can you afford to retire?Not really-I need a moneytree. There are always bills t pay and the kids and grandkids are needing money as well. I have never known a situation like it if I am honest.ViewDate:

Are you going to a Coronation street party this weekend?If they serve food like that in the picture I will be.ViewDate:
2nd May 2023Bald123 commented on:
Do you have access to an NHS Dentist?I wish. With the state of my teeth, I cannot afford to get them sorted out as it would cost thousands of pounds.ViewDate:
16th Mar 2023Bald123 commented on:
Is it still ok to share Irish jokes on St Patrick's Day?Yes of course. I am half Irish and a quarter Welsh. It's all good banter, especially down the pub. If we didn't have banter in the UK it would make us all as bland as wallpaper paste.ViewDate:
22nd Feb 2023Bald123 commented on:
Are you in favour of ‘digital IDs’?It is a stupid idea. What if you loose your phone or it gets stolen?ViewDate:
20th Feb 2023Bald123 commented on:
Should the much-loved books of Roald Dahl be rewritten?The UK is becoming more like the Soviet Union every day. This is just airbrushing. Leave arts alone for goodness sake. Books were written in their time and they should be left as is.ViewDate:
14th Feb 2023Bald123 commented on:
Will you miss the "Totally Tropical Taste"?Marketing madness! If nothing changes with the drink itself why change the name which everyone knows after 50 years???????ViewDate:
8th Feb 2023Bald123 commented on:
Should the Church of England refer to God as gender neutral?God is good and is entwined in the universe. We are minuscule and should just be kind to each other. Enough said.ViewDate:
8th Feb 2023Bald123 commented on:
Should the Church of England refer to God as gender neutral?I totally agree with you Mrs Pat. That's a very interesting and powerful comment -
