I'm not ready for this technology yet and don't expect that to change. If something occurs to make the car take evasive action, it could cause more danger depending on how wide an area the sensors can read. I am by no means a Luddite but will let others try it first.

History should not be erased - good or bad.

I get rather annoyed at the way some elements of the younger generation blame those of pensionable age for the ills of the world and wonder how they will feel when/if they get to that stage of life.

Last of the Summer Wine was a great favourite of mine at the time and still is thanks to the re-runs. Warm humour with loveable and exasperating characters and well acted by talented actors.

Downsizing sounds good but the problem we found was that we wanted fewer rooms but not smaller ones. We looked at many places in various parts of the country but the only ones with decent sized rooms cost much more than our four bedrooms detached house, often with annual maintenance charges on top. One development came with so many restrictions that we almost ran from it, a couple of years later they have dropped in value by quite a lot. Eventually, we decided to stay put in a town we love with excellent facilities.

If we were not in Lockdown, I would be straight round to my nearest M&S.

We had two Labradoodles who did not shed so needed regular trips to the groomer. We chose a practical tidy trim, nothing fancy but, not only did they look good but both dogs couldn't get into the groomer's salon quickly enough. They loved the experience rather like some people enjoy a spa-day. I would never dream of having any dog of mine groomed with a fancy cut but, as long as the dog is happy, I don't see why other owners shouldn't go in for it.

ASs with so many other people, my wife and I get a lot of pleasure from watching the variety of birds in the garden. They have possibly never been so well fed as during these lockdowns with more people stuck at home.

Like so many others in our eighth decade, I get a tremendous amount of pleasure from watching the birds in the garden. Now that we no longer have pets it is nice to see some life out there - especially in lockdown or self-isolation.

Our garden has received even more attention during lockdown.

As with so many others, lockdown has increased my reading and a new author (to me) would be interesting.

My wife and I have a cruise booked for January but, being in the vulnerable group, are very wary. The ship's company can provide all the safety facilities possible but if the passengers do not comply the danger will still be there.

When we had dogs, one liked to use a particular area as his personal lavatory but an occasional application of Zoflora ensured this part of the garden remained smell free.

I cannot see a problem in "Stay Alert". There is enough publicity surrounding the virus situation and there is no chance a lockdown would have been obeyed for much longer. I am by no means a fan of Mr Johnson but his biggest mistake was to expect common sense from 100% of the population. In the unprecedented situation the Government found itself in there was bound to be mistakes. The experts who gave advice varied greatly in their opinions, some suggested going down the herd-immunity route but the Government considered that they were shouted down. Others still fail to agree on the lockdown easing, should it happen or not and if it does, how gradual should it be. Being in the vulnerable category, I am keeping my head down, trying to ignore the media hysteria and hoping for the best.

I nominate my dear friend Sue Bolton, after officially retiring she went back to the NHS. Sue is one of the most warm-hearted and generous people I know.

I planned a holiday in The Gambia many years ago with my first wife, she became ill and died before we could put the plan into action. Now, several decades later I found love again and it would be wonderful to make the trip.

My Mum is longer on this earth but always in my mind.

The Nutribullet has been around in various forms for some years and has proved to be successful.

My wife and I are planning a long trip to U.S.A. next year, this luggage would be a superb replacement for our current well-worn cases.

I wonder what Peggy Spencer would have thought ?

I bought a pair of your shoes a couple of weeks ago and they are so comfortable I just placed an order for another pair.

The decision should be his. If Prince Charles feels he can make a good job of it then he should have the crown but if his health is poor then he should have the option to step aside.
