6 unusual uses for VaselineWhen I had my bathroom ceiling replaced with the white plastic sheets I had those led lights fitted - they have a round metal holder to hold them in place - I put Vaseline all round holder so that the steam didn’t corrode/rust them - it worked a treat!ViewDate:

Epic Love Songs PlaylistYou do not get music like the old days eg Etta James & the rest of the ones mentioned - they could really sing what amazing voices they had - I often wonder about the music nowadays - lots of it but not all of it is just ‘boom boom boom’! Shows I’m getting old! Looking forward to listening to some of the old stuff tomorrow- happy Valentine’s Day folks xViewDate:

WASPI - Dreams lie in tattersWell written Mick & the words are so true x I am so very bitter about the fact that I’m not going to get my pension until I’m 66 years old! What bugs me is the fact that I already have 44 qualifying years & ive still to continue paying into the system to cover other benefits!ViewDate:

Should the Winter Fuel Allowance be means tested?I personally think that it should be means tested because it's given to all pensioners & loads of them don't need it - may I add that when my husband was alive we got it but we didn't need it BUT we didn't refuse it because it's the only thing we EVER received from this government after all the years of paying into the system! I could never understand how anyone in government could authorise that payment - to all pensioners - in the first place!!! I'm one of the ladies born in the 50's who won't get her pension until she's 66 & the fact that all those pensioners get the Winter Fuel Payment & don't need it because they are very well off really sticks in my throat!ViewDate:

Should the State Pension be means tested?Definately NO! I've worked hard all my days & paid into the system so I'll only be getting back what I'm due. Why should people who have worked hard, saved & managed their money sensibly be penalised? To be perfectly honest the best off are the ones who have never done a days work in their lives because they are too lazy - and their are lots of them about - their are also lots of genuine people who for whatever reason aren't able to work.ViewDate:

Should ‘Exercise Equivalents’ Be Part of Food Labelling?I'm surprised that someone hasn't suggested that we are 'microchipped' & 'plugged in' in the morning when we get up & our bodies programmed to eat all the correct food & get the right amount of exercise that is correct for us!!!! Then we wouldn't need to have all the warnings etc on our food!!! ( just kidding of course)!ViewDate:

Should ‘Exercise Equivalents’ Be Part of Food Labelling?Totally agree with you Violet! People need to take responsibility for themselves - we live in a 'blame' society nowadays.ViewDate:

Should out-patients and visitors be charged to park at hospitals?I wouldn't mind paying say a minimum £1 charge - I know £1 doesn't sound much with but with the amount of people using hospitals the £1 would make a tidy sum for the NHS. I also agree with one of your other members - why not employ someone to control the carpark - it would give someone a job & it would be properly monitored. Where I live locals leave their cars in the hospital car park & then all jump into one car to travel the other few miles to work. Having someone employed to monitor the car park would stop this. Why should I & others have to pay to park because other people abuse it? Also nobody wants to have to go to hospital in the first place!ViewDate:

Bottled Water or Tap Water?I much prefer tap water but I'm fortune to live in an area where our water is very good - also I'd grudge the price of bottled water & of course you've got the bottle to dispose of!ViewDate:

Is Tomorrow Yesterday or TodayBrilliant and you've made me feel so much better - you tend to think you're the only one who has these memory problems but after reading the poem we all have them!! Well it's obvious or someone wouldn't be writing a poem about it - is that not correct?!!!!Love it - and thanks for making me smile!ViewDate:

Which party do you trust to manage your pensioner benefits over the next 5 years?I wouldn't trust any of them to deliver what they promise!
