Is it ever ok to buy an item of clothing, leave the price tag on, wear it once and return it?Years ago, my bos’s wife regularly bought up-market outfits for going to business lunches and dinners, and returning them the next day. Thought it was acceptable. It wasn’t then, and isn’t now.ViewDate:

Do you bank online?I have banked online for many years, but there are times when you want to discuss various options with an actual person, not an impersonal online substitute.ViewDate:

Is sleeping in separate beds the beginning of the end?No problem at all, whatever works for you as a couple. It’s really nobody else’s business, is it?ViewDate:

Do you feel comfortable with online banking?We have used on-line banking for years, since it became available I guess. We’re both totally used to it, both in our 80’s and find it useful. However there are times when we prefer to actually speak to someone face to face, which we have always been able to do up till now. But I do not like the fact that all of us, young and old are being pushed into using the internet when it might not be our choice. I have neighbours who are much younger than me who will not have apps or do online banking. My friends grandchildren, in their 20’s don’t like apps either, which I must say surprised me! There should always be choice, for everyone.ViewDate:

Hair and fashion trends from the 60sI loved the styles back them when we were quite happy to look and be feminine! I had a couple of shift dresses - did we call them ‘sacks?’ - and when I married my husband who had a motor bike I used to hop on the back wearing a white, belted mac with the white boots, topped of with one of those white helmets with a little peak. I though I was the ‘bees knees’! I remember swopping from stockings to tights, no more suspender belts to fiddle with. I don’t remember getting coloured tights though, not quite my thing. The styles then were colourful, young and somehow liberating. I loved those days, back in my happy youth!ViewDate:

Should the humble Ploughman's lunch become gender neutral?I thought the poor Landlord did it as a joke, so what on earth has happened to our sense of humour? For goodness sake, lighten up!!!ViewDate:

Are you in favour of editing old programmes to fit in with today's society?The very reason these programmes were so popular was because of their humour. Change the humour, you change the programme identity. It never works so don’t do it!
