Has Harry finally gone too far?|My granddaughter gave me this book for Xmas. I am now half way or so through it. Harry exasperates me, he comes across as a thorough 'victim' After watching Game of Thrones in his boots, I would be happy to be 'Spare' and living far away. Out of William and Harry, I feel sorry for William, he is more restricted etc. waiting to become King. Laughed at his description of Diana;s butler's 'tell all': "It was merely one man's self-justifying, self-centreing version of events". Always saying that he doesn't feel anything. I would say he feels sadness, anger, even rage. Everything comes back to 'mummy'. Harry - Go into therapy by all means and sort yourself, but not everybody needs to know everything. Yes, and the number of times I had to separate my kids from fisticuffs!ViewDate:

New YearHi Glenys - Thank you for your poem. I know it is hard not to worry about stuff happening tomorrow. I had the problem over Christmas as I was going into day surgery on Friday to have a cyst taken off my upper eyelid. Blighted my Christmas a little. I am writing to send loving thoughts over your way and hope that you have somebody who loves you to accompany you to hospital xxxViewDate:

Do you agree with the TV licence changes for over-75s?Is it £155 the cut off point for pension credit. How the heck can people live on £156 a week??? Also now they will have the t.v. licence to pay after age 75. The BBC should find other ways, just like other companies to pay their way.ViewDate:

Is it time to buck the trend?Hedonistic society scandiman!! More, more, more. Why, why?? Somebody wrote that the simple things are much more enjoyable, I agree so much. As for the Stag parties, well! If and when my daughter and her partner get married they are having a simple, maybe Cornwall beach, party. They do not have great amounts of money to spare for this and this is a blessing!ViewDate:

Role of Grandparent - Disciplinarian or Fun Maker?Marley, I so agree with you! I hope you gave that GrandParent what for!!ViewDate:

Role of Grandparent - Disciplinarian or Fun Maker?Ah, well done Lionel. I am sure it would be very hard and exhausting work bringing up children when one is the GrandFather. Lots of respect to your wife also. When my granddaughter was younger I would be exhausted at the end of one day!!ViewDate:

Role of Grandparent - Disciplinarian or Fun Maker?I see lots and lots of my granddaughter, as it should be. I don't agree with being a 'disciplinarian'. My granddaughter comes to us to be spoiled, but she also knows there are certain lines she doesn't cross. She is now a beautiful 13 years old and I have only had to give her a very, very few gentle talkings to. Love her to bits!!ViewDate:

Should the Winter Fuel Allowance be means tested?Yes I would be happy for the fuel allowance to be means tested, would be good to know at what level though. Would wish this money saved to go to something useful, not furnishing some minister's office etc!ViewDate:

Are you plagued by nuisance phone calls?We used to get a lot of these cold calls. We still get a few, not enoughto annoy me though. A couple of years ago we registered with a phone number to stop these calls (can't now remember the number!). This stopped them entirely, but now we just get a few. Don't know if the special phone number is still working. -
