Who is your favourite older actor or actress?Surprised there aren't more votes for Jim Broadbent: he's featured in so many good productions, and has such an expressive face.ViewDate:

New research shows that low-fat diets might increase the risk of early death: Should we be worried?What? I think reading any report of any study about what to eat or not will seriously damage my health!ViewDate:

Will the Great British Bake Off survive on Channel 4?I believe it will survive the change of channel. For me, whether it will be as good is a different and totally personal question. As someone has already posted below, in a few weeks, memories of how it used to be will have faded.ViewDate:

Is it time to buck the trend?Brilliant! In my case, (it was my neighbour), the daughter's stubbornness and strong will exceeded even her mother's, to everyone's surprise.ViewDate:

Is it time to buck the trend?This isn't new - but it's the crazy amount that some couples spend on the wedding that has got out of hand. I remember going to a wedding over 30 yrs ago, where the bride planned it all down to the tiniest detail, and had exactly what she wanted - and within weeks she was back home, saying the marriage was over. That was it. What her mother, who had made her the dress of her dreams, thought about this I never dare ask!ViewDate:

Are you a Flexitarian?Like some of the respondents so far, this is something that we've come to almost unconsciously as we've got older and only cook for the two of us. Don't do a regular roast anymore - but enjoy one when we eat out, and at Christmas! Think the term is funny.ViewDate:

Which activity do you find most restful?Gardening on a fine, sunny day does it for me - I watch with concern my increasing joint stiffness and lethargy!ViewDate:

Are you taking part in Dry January?Like someof the other posters, I don't drink enough for my body to notice. My drinking tends to be weather related anyway: mainly outside if it's warm and sunny!ViewDate:
