Do you eat in bed?Since being retired about 20 years ago we love tea and toast in the morning watching TV. It is relaxing especially on a wet winter day.ViewDate:

Would you be happy to be weighed before boarding a flight?It would make no difference to me as I do not fly often but it would complicate the check-in. More queues.ViewDate:

Do you think money skills should be taught in school?Yes of course. What I don't understand is why 6 people on here have voted to not have children taught money skills at school???? That makes no sense at all.ViewDate:

Will you be making a romantic gesture this Valentine’s Day?We have sent each other a card for over 60 years. We give it to each other now as the post only arrives once per week.ViewDate:

Do you have access to an NHS Dentist?We have not had access to an NHS dentist for about 30 years and have spent a fortune since.ViewDate:

Is it right to consider cutting postal deliveries to three days a week?It's just a reflection of society and the rapid changes happening. We used to get masses of post which was mostly junk mail. Thank goodness we hardly get any now.ViewDate:

Do you bank online?I do miss our local banks as sometimes we do need to go in for various reasons but we have no banks within 10 miles now.ViewDate:
15th Jan 2024Munsterlander commented on:
Do you dream more nowadays or have your dreams become more vivid?I don't seem to dream much at all. Maybe being retired I am totally distressed and do not have any worries nowadays.ViewDate:

Do you believe in Blue Monday?I agree and that is what happens when you retire-Happy Days!ViewDate:

Do you believe in Blue Monday?I agree-I am in my 80s and every Monday was Blue Monday-just joking..but for the last 16 years I love everyday since I have been retired.ViewDate:

When do you celebrate Twelfth Night?If you do the maths its the 6th day of January.ViewDate:
3rd Jan 2024Munsterlander commented on:
Should there be an age cap for monarchs?Yes I think it should be about 75. Look at whats happening in the USA with Biden and Trump-both far too old for office. Once you go past 75 your body needs to rest. I should know I am in my 80s now.ViewDate:

This broccoli cocktail is dividing the internet – would you try it?I will suggest it as a drink at my local pub and see what the reaction is?ViewDate:

Does your car have a spare wheel?At my age there is no way I could change a wheel anyway.I would have to call the AAViewDate:

Would you consider eating insects as an alternative source of protein?They look like small prawns to me?ViewDate:
15th Nov 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Would you consider eating insects as an alternative source of protein?True-but it would take a lot of ants to make a stew which would be cruel in itself. They are still living beings.ViewDate:
15th Nov 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Would you consider eating insects as an alternative source of protein?Maybe try them as dog food first and monitor the dogs for a few years.ViewDate:
27th Oct 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Would you try Christmas Pudding flavoured crisps?Is it 1st April today????? This has to be a joke right? As McEnroe once said, "You cannot be serious?"ViewDate:
20th Oct 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Will you be pumpkin carving and buying Halloween treats?It's a wonderful time of year with the leaves now all falling and autumn mists in the air. I always liked Halloween and we used to carve pumpkins with our children and still do with the grand children. It is all a lot of fun.ViewDate:
10th Oct 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Should ultra-processed foods be labelled ‘addictive’?From what I read this ultra-processed food is very bad for you as a lot of it could potentially cause cancer. That is reason enough fo me just to ban it as we have done for cigarettes etc at least in public places or where the public eat.ViewDate:
5th Oct 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Do you agree with the decision to axe HS2 northern leg?My brother lives in Liverpool and he is disgusted by the decision. For years the Tories have been trumpeting "The Northern Powerhouse" and how they were going to "Level up" the UK. What a load of tosh. Now we see it all as empty promises and once again the North loses out.ViewDate:
21st Sep 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Do you support the delay to the 2030 ban on sales of new petrol and diesel cars?In some ways I am too old to care about all of this as I am not sure that I will be around in 2035. Having said that an effort to cut pollution and reduce carbon emissions asap seems to me to be a sensible move. Why on earth would Richi backtrack on this when the government have been pushing the 2030 deadline for years?ViewDate:
16th Sep 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Do you think XL Bully dogs should be banned?I love all dogs. I think a lot of the issue with XL Bullys and other fighting dogs is firstly it is in their DNA to fight just as it is in a gundogs DNA to point or retrieve game. Secondly, all dogs can be trained and if they have a loving family and environment they will reciprocate...most of these dogs don't have that I suspect and so are brimming with energy and totally untrained.ViewDate:

Shoplifting on the Rise: Should We Report It or Ignore It?Thanks Jean and you are right it is a moral issue as there is huge abundance in our shops and yet so many people have no money. This government have had c13 years to sort it out and we are still in the same/worse mess than ever. Not that Labour or the Liberals would have done any better as the former left the UK practically bankrupt under Brown. I think a lot of the shoplifting is actually done by young teenagers who mostly do it for a lark or/and have little money and so the easiest thing to do is steal. Some is undoubtedly done by desperate people but then especially small shop keepers should not have to suffer this as its difficult to make money at the best of times for them.ViewDate:

Shoplifting on the Rise: Should We Report It or Ignore It?This is an interesting question as morally you should report it although a couple of years ago I was in a branch of Superdrug and I think a couple of teenagers were shoplifting. When I looked at them as if to say "what are you doing"..and all I did was look I was met with a torrent of venom and abuse which was quite shocking. No staff were near and they just ran out of the shop.ViewDate:
29th Aug 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Do you support the new expansion of the ULEZ in London?It is an interesting discussion. I am in favour of ULEZ from an environmental point but I do wonder how much it will reduce noxious fumes/particulates etc? The Times is currently running a "Clean Air"campaign but there was an article the other day and they were actually disputing the effect of ULEZ and said it would be minimal on air pollution?ViewDate:
23rd Aug 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Have you switched supermarkets for your main weekly shop?I have been going to Lidl for years and won't change as it's got so much fresh produce and the price is half that of other supermarkets. What's not to Like?ViewDate:
23rd Aug 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Do you ask guests to take their shoes off when they come into your home?My house downstairs just has stone and wood floors so I am happy with everyone keeping their shoes on. I even walk around in my wellies when gardening and coming indoors. Nothing that a quick sweep won't sort out.ViewDate:
3rd Aug 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Would you consider being a Deliveroo rider?Why does the government want everyone our age back in work? I am far too old to work now and I have done my time with about 50 years in full-time work. I suspect they think they can get more taxes or the UK just has not got enough workers post Brexit?ViewDate:
3rd Aug 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Should we consider limiting children's smartphone use time?In my view it is down to the app developers to ensure that sessions are only an hour a day for example. I would think this is achievable. We need to accept these games are here to stay and can help people relax. I heard the other day on the radio there is more time spent on games by youngsters than watching TV.ViewDate:
21st Jul 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Are there too many social media sites?Facebook is good as I can converse with friends and see their pictures and my family. I would not waste my time on others.ViewDate:
21st Jul 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Should we be penalised with airport drop off charges?It is a TOTAL rip-off. I am sick of all these outrageous ways to fleece the hard-working British public.ViewDate:
21st Jul 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Do you support Just Stop Oil activists or have they gone too far?I support the idea as we need to stop carbon emissions.ViewDate:
21st Jul 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Are you happy to trust your nose?What if you have an issue with smelling? I know of 2 people who ex covid cannot smell! This cannot be right to remove labeling.ViewDate:
21st Jul 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Should there be heavier restrictions on vapes to stop use among children?Vapes should be banned for everyone aged under 16 period. I have read that people who use them can develop "crystalline formations" in their lungs. It sounds horrific and I for one would not use a vape-and I am an ex-smoker (60 years since my last No6)ViewDate:
6th Jul 2023Munsterlander commented on:
Do you give your dog a raw food diet?Our dogs have kibble and a sauce on it called Canine Ketchup. It is like a sauce that adds flavour to the kibble and is made from vegetables so adds to the dogs diet. They love it. -
