Should plant nurseries and growers be allowed to sell their plants?I agree with everything you said Jane - if its ok for supermarkets why not garden centres - at a safe distance for each customer.ViewDate:

Are you concerned about Mothering Sunday visits?As we will be travelling some 3 hours to visit my mum, who is 90 and in good health and mind (thank heavens) we shall be having our mothering day lunch - unless the restaurant cancels! She is on her own with no social media, so I would not cancel our visit, she would be devastated.ViewDate:

Is it realistic to expect over 70s to remain in their homes for 4 months?I am angry and upset at the 4 month suggestion of self isolation for people aged over 70. Why this amount of time when the "norm" is 2 weeks - surely it is a form of discrimination? How are people on their own, with no family nearby; with friends/neighbours of the same age as themselves, and no internet/social media to cope with the loneliness etc? The over 70's can still protect themselves with hand washing, sanitizers etc - the same as everyone else - surely?ViewDate:

Is it time for a woman to play 007?Why do people want to change things - James Bond is male as written by Ian Fleming - not female.ViewDate:

Do you feel the need to stock up on hand sanitiser and soap?No scare mongering or stockpiling for me - common sense and hand washing, with sanitiser (as I always have) if not near soap/water.ViewDate:

Should we rule out imported chlorinated chicken from the USA?Its not just the chlorination but the US use far more hormones in the rearing of their meat products apparently than we are allowed in the UK/Europe. Scary - we should keep our own farmers in work in our own country,ViewDate:
