Are you drinking more or less alcohol as you get older?I no longer drink alcohol mainly because of being on medication, but I just didn't like it anymore. I never drank a lot just a glass of wine or sherry or a bottle of beer at Christmas & New Year and nothing alcoholic the rest of the year.ViewDate:

Classic Christmas family filmsMy all time favourite classic Christmas film is Scrooge made in1951 & starring Alastair Sim. It is atmospheric & Alastair Sim plays the part of Scrooge with such flair; his facial expressions are brilliant. It is the only Christmas film that I watch every time it is screened on T.V. Marvellous entertainment.ViewDate:

Would you take an anti-ageing pill in order to live until 120?I think that if you have a healthy lifestyle & approach to life, as well as eating sensible, nutritious food, there is no need for anti-aging pills. I need to take medication for pain & other health problems & I don't want to take any more.ViewDate:

Should Britain agree to take more refugees?These people are trying to get themselves and their families to a place of safety, where they can live & work without fear. Forget religion offering them a safe haven is a compassionate thing to do. Yes we do have many problems in this country but that doesn't mean that we have to ignore other people who are in even worse straits. For goodness sake we are all human beings.ViewDate:

Do you get enough sleep?I suffer some fibromyalgia & I find it difficult to get more than 6 hours sleep because of the pain I get throughout my body. I do some relaxation exercises before going to sleep & usually have no trouble falling asleep but I wake up at least three or four times a night in a lot of pain & find it difficult to get comfortable again. It doesn't matter what time I go to bed early or late I still have the same problems. I usually end up getting up between 5 & 6 o'clock after lying awake for about an hour or so.ViewDate:
