Are you happy to trust your nose?I’m happy to use my nose, but there should be some indication such as date of production so you can be assured that the product you’re buying is the freshest.ViewDate:

Free TV licence for over-75s to be means-tested from August 1I think it is disgraceful of the BBC to means test the TV licence for the over 75’s. I run a charity that supports people to be able to live independently on their own at home. We have befrienders who visit them (under normal circumstances, they are doing it by phone at the moment) once a week for a chat or just to put the world to rights. Other than this once a week visit, many of our clients are on their own, as family often live far away, and depend on television to keep them company. The means test may mean that they are not eligible for a free licence, yet they will have to give up necessities to be able to afford it. I think it’s unnecessarily cruel of the BBC, given the world we are living in at the moment, to take away the one thing that keeps these people from loneliness and the inevitable mental illness that will prevail. I hope they do rethink the charge.ViewDate:

The Best of Tom Jones PlaylistGreen Green Grass of home. We were living in Canada, and my grandfather died in the UK and my Dad came back to the UK for his funeral at the time this was a hit. My Dad said it made him homesick for Canada and his wife and kids. It’s always made me think of him when it’s played.ViewDate:

Is Labour's new WASPI promise credible?I am one of those 3.7 million women affected; however, although I am incredibly annoyed at the way the decisions were administered, the reality of the situation is that the government cannot afford to pay all of us. I wish they could. Labour’s plan to pay women would be so expensive that future generations will end up paying for past government’s mistakes. What people should also remember is that it was a Labour government that decided this in the first place and then did not promote it properly to the women affected so that we could save appropriately. I wish I could retire, but unfortunately I will have to stick it out until pension age.ViewDate:

Should all pensioners over 75 be entitled to a free TV licence?This would be typical. Just when I thought I could retire, they changed the retirement age. Bus passes were next. Now they’re talking about stopping the free TV licence. So I expect they just want you to work and then drop down and die, having had no pleasure after a lifetime of work. Wonderful, huh?ViewDate:
