Who will you vote for in the December General Election?The biggest worry about this election is that the dangerous idiot, puppet, Corbyn, and his communist henchmen might just sneak in through the back door!! They would do more damage to the country than either a Brexit or Remain decision. He will be promising the earth again in the campaign, bribing the kids and students and everyone else with undeliverable, uncosted schemes that would cost the country an absolute fortune and send us back to the dark ages.ViewDate:

Should 'wolf-whistling' be a crime?What a waste of police time - there are many more important things for our already stretched police resources to focus on! Isn't it rather sexist to assume that it's just women who are wolf whistled by men? I'm sure it works both ways. ;-)ViewDate:

Would you like a general election?We need one to refresh parliament but until Labour get rid of that useless embarrassment of a communist clown in charge and give us a more moderate alternative we are likely to get Boris back with an increased majority. We need a strong opposition again.ViewDate:

Would you get a dog to help you live longer?Anything that gets people out walking is a winner! Plus the company that a dog provides is bound to have a positive effect on mental health.ViewDate:

Was Prince Harry right to bare his soul on television?I'm not sure what they hoped to achieve in doing the interview. It won't make any difference to the way the press treat them and it just makes them look a bit sad and sorry for themselves when they have such a lovely life in their country estates, private jets and celebrity friends. Not a situation that will elicit much sympathy from the majority of the nation who struggle to make ends meet day to day. If they need help seek it privately not in front of the world who will just snipe at them more as a result.ViewDate:

Is it time for a woman to play 007?Maybe the time is right for a non-binary, trans, gay person who is self identifying as a bond girl to take over the mantle from Daniel Craig. ....... should keep just about everyone happy! ;-)ViewDate:

Do you prefer streaming to broadcast TV?I think the range of TV available via the streaming services including Netflix, Amazon, BBC, Channel 4 and ITV is excellent. The production values in many series are better than films. Gone are the days of scrabbling around for something decent to watch. We rarely watch live TV unless it's sport or the news.ViewDate:

Could you give up using wet wipes?..... no biodegradable wet wipes either Wilf :-)ViewDate:

Does the person in the middle seat on a plane have the right to use both armrests?Good point - invasive flab is a far worse problem :-)ViewDate:

Could you give up using wet wipes?We can put people on Mars but can't invent a flushable wet wipe!???ViewDate:

Should graduates still be repaying their student loans into their 60s?The whole system is shocking. Especially the exploitatively high rates of interest at over 6% on loans that will rack up until they retire. Maintenance grants for the poorest kids have been removed and we are now asking valuable doctors and nurses to pay their tuition fees as we struggle to fill vacancies in the NHS after the Brexit impact. We've got it badly wrong and are seriously letting down the younger generation.ViewDate:

Would you like to attend a formal royal banquet?Yes I'd love to sit between the Queen and Prince Philip and hear what they really think about the odious Trump family on their self promotional vacation funded by the long suffering tax payer!ViewDate:

Would you buy your supermarket produce loose, out of packaging?Yes - government should ban all plastic packaging asap. It's a total no-brainer and the supermarkets won't stop until they are legally obliged to.ViewDate:

Would you like to star in 'Silver Love Island'?Love Island is brainless, dangerous, exploitative, cheap rubbish TV. Two participants have committed suicide after their appearances on the show which is just an excuse to show off fit bodies to make the insta generation even more paranoid about how they look. It's as bad if not worse than Jeremy Kyle and should be banned!ViewDate:

Does the person in the middle seat on a plane have the right to use both armrests?Always stake your claim early and get your arms on the armrests in your preferred position. A polite nudge and a friendly smile sometimes helps to establish priority.ViewDate:

Would you feel comfortable going cashless?The fantastic new Tottenham Hotspur football stadium is totally cash free so it's already happening. So much easier not having to cart around a packet full of cash.ViewDate:

Will Marmite Peanut Butter be on your shopping list?Peanut butter and marmite on toast is the finest savoury snack known to man. I've been a fan since I was a small child - not sure you need it already mixed as you can easily just make your own. And smooth is better than crunchy. Give it a try - you'll wonder how you've survived this long without it!!ViewDate:

Does the UK need another political party?Given the total inability of Labour, under it's current Marxist rulers, to provide an effective opposition during this time of crisis perhaps a more sensible alternative is required.ViewDate:

Will you be stocking up on provisions for post-Brexit?Maybe a return to rationing just like the pre EU ' good old days' that the Brexiteers yearn for will be good for the nation!.ViewDate:

Is it too soon for Easter eggs to go on sale?We are in a continual wheel of commercial spin based on mainly commercially generated events and dates - all designed to sell us stuff we don't need and that is bad for us. Christmas has become horrifically commercial and most forget the original meaning as they stuff down the food and drink and open the presents they don't want or need. Then we move on to Valentines Day, Mothers Day, Fathers Day all designed by the greetings card manufacturers to make you feel bad if you don't buy their tat. Easter is now all about flogging chocolate eggs - thanks to Cadbury's and all the other purveyors of the sweet stuff that is making our nation obese and their teeth drop out. How many think of the original meaning of Easter as they shove another lump of the brown sweet stuff into their hungry mouths? Easter now starts in January, Christmas in late August ... don't fall for it!ViewDate:

Are you ditching the drink for January?January is a miserable month anyway and if you enjoy a drink then it will become even more miserable if you ditch the drink for the whole month. Just have a few days off a week and cutting down at other times should do the trick.ViewDate:

Is obesity a lifestyle choice or a disease?There is a simple equation in play here: If you put more calories in your mouth than you burn you will put on weight. What goes in your mouth and how active you decide to be is a lifestyle choice. It's not always easy and it takes willpower - especially at our age!ViewDate:

Brexit - what happens next?Maybe it's time for us oldies to listen to our children and grandchildren. They are the future and will have to live with the results of our mess - the majority of young people want to stay in the EU. They can't remember the 'so called' good old days outside the EU which frankly weren't that good!! Maybe we should all listen to them and moderate our antiquated views and allow another referendum. For whatever reason they weren't engaged last time around - they sure will be the next time.

Did Prince Andrew's Newsnight interview make his predicament better or worse?
