Have you had to sell a family home to fund a loved one's social care?My Mother cared for her Mother AND her Uncle for many years and got to the point where she didn’t know how she was going to continue the funding for my Grandma who eventually had to go into a Care Home. This caused her considerable stress and things should never have got so desperate.ViewDate:

Are you able to get a face-to-face doctor appointment?It seems ridiculous that face to face appointments are not back to normal levels pre Pandemic Not everything can be diagnosed over a phone My Mother is 91 and cannot deal with modern technology and at 62 I’m not very good with it either !!ViewDate:

With the vaccination programme under way, how likely are you to book a holiday this year?I would love a holiday but there are still too many things changing day by day. I doubt if a holiday abroad will be possible this year but may be a staycation will happen ?ViewDate:

Age....Does it matter?I have just started a new job at 60 ( nearly 61. ! ) years of age. Although I was expecting to retire at 60 the amending of the State Pension age for women changed my plans. I’m loving my part time job and having my own money again, and I enjoy meeting the customers.ViewDate:

working in our 60sIt’s great if a person feels able to continue working and wants to continue working but nobody should be forced to work beyond the original Retirement Ages of 60 for women and 65 for men. Young people need to be able to get employment not exist on BenefitsViewDate:

Should over 70s be banned from voting on the country's future?If we are expected to work on after the age of 60 for ladies and 65 for men we should be allowed to vote too.ViewDate:

Do your pets get distressed with the sound of fireworks?Fireworks are OK but should perhaps be limited to the one weekend nearest to 5th November ? They go on too long and are distressing to animals.ViewDate:

Should smart motorways be scrapped?Although I’m concerned that they could be dangerous I think too much money had already been spent on them. Plus all the years of upheaval while they were being built. The drivers who ignore warning signs and speed limits and who still use their phones are dangerous and not the inanimate motorways. !ViewDate:

Would you get a dog to help you live longer?I got a dog who has turned out to be an excellent companion for my elderly Mother. But getting a dog needs careful consideration and not just because getting one may help you live longer.... If that is the case then that’s an added bonus. Dogs can bring health benefits.ViewDate:

Do you buy a daily newspaper or read the news online?I prefer a paper but I also read the news online.ViewDate:

Should women have time off work for menopausal symptoms?Although I have been lucky and didn’t suffer too badly I’m aware that others do have bad symptoms and if they need to be off work they shouldn’t be made to feel as if they are a nuisance to their employer. Better understanding is needed.ViewDate:

Do A-levels put students under too much stress?I hated my O and A level exams and then all the exams I did at College but if you prepare properly you should be OK. People need to realise that you cannot go through life avoiding everything that you don’t like. !ViewDate:
