Did you go to your closest secondary school?I had to walk nearly a mile to catch the bus to get to both primary and secondary school. In those days it was taken for granted that we would attend the nearest school. The only exception being those from well-off families who went to boarding school. I see children now being driven from the next village to attend the primary school here and think that it is a piece of nonsense because they end up not knowing the children from their own village. Then again, in those days the teachers lived locally as well and did not have to travel miles to get to the school which in turn meant that the school could remain open even if the roads were closed. It also meant that the teachers knew the background of most of the pupils and any potential problem that the pupil might have because of that home life.ViewDate:

Should women over 50 have NHS funded fertility treatment?To be honest , I do not think that fertility treatment should be available at any age on the NHS never mind for those in their 50's.ViewDate:

Did you marry the right person first time round?Been married for over 40 years and there have been some very miserable moments but who is to say that things would have been any better with someone else? May as well stick with it now.
