Is going digital isolating elderly people?Smartphones are a great invention as are tablets. Rarely use a laptop now.Mobile banking is simple to use and a godsend with branches closing at a great rate of knots. I am 73 and have embraced technology including attaining a City and Guilds in computer studies. Your never too old to embrace technologyViewDate:

Should all pensioners over 75 be entitled to a free TV licence?If he BBC didn't waste so much money with levels of management, cut back on all the so called correspondents they could afford to keep free licences for over 75'sViewDate:

Do you use vitamins and supplements?Take turmeric capsules to ease pain from arthriticy knees. Number of painkillers taken greatly reduced. Maybe psychological but will take result.ViewDate:

Do you class yourself as physically active or inactive?Lead 3 Nordic Walking groups and also gave a lively cocker spaniel 30 miles a week as well as exercise last thing at night and first thing in the morning to keep joints moving due to arthritis. Still feel young at 71.ViewDate:

Do you currently own a diesel car?Had a diesel for 10 years. Would willingly change if govt helped towards cost. Far more commercial diesel vehicles on roads than private cars. That is a bigger problem.ViewDate:

Have also joined U3A and never having played a musical instrument am learning to play the ukulele. Plenty to do even at my age.Life is good.ViewDate:

Do you support a 'sugar tax' to help tackle obesity?We were lucky to have been born just after WW2 when sweets were still on ration and sugar was in short supply. I people want to drink sugary drinks a small tax will make no difference. We need to educate people about the effects sugar etc has on the body. Moderation in everything.ViewDate:

Will the weather determine whether you go to the Polling station?Already voted. Postal vote as poll clerk on Thursday. Whatever the weather I will be in the polling station by 6.15am. Long day till 10.00pm and can't leave the station but looking forward to it.ViewDate:

Have you noticed that pack sizes have shrunk while prices remain unchanged?Seems to be happening on confectionary a lot. No bad thing to reduce size for health reasons. Would be even more beneficial if prices rose as well. I people don't like the practice of decreased size or content shop around. Manufacturers would soon get the message.ViewDate:

Should Jeremy Clarkson be sacked or reinstated?If as alleged he punched somebody he should be sacked. If this happened in the workplace it would beinstant dismissal. The man is boorish and should have gone long ago. BBC make money from him and are toothless anyway. It has happened with others (Ross) and will doubtless happen again as the BBC is spineless. Transfer the programme to CBBC where it belongs.
