Do you believe in Blue Monday?You can feel sad or glad on any day. It is not particularly restricted to any day of the week.ViewDate:

Should over 50s be going to nightclubs?Why restrict over 50s just because one of our number decides to make a pratt of himself. I'll bet that on the same night there were hundreds of over fifties in clubs doing similar but they are not cabinet ministers and, consequently, did not get the publicity!ViewDate:

Will you be downloading the new tracing app today?Looked into it but found it would not work on my phone. Maybe a little cynical but is it a genuine app that will help or is it just a ruse to get us with older phones to upgrade and boost the sale of new models - thus making rich men richer.ViewDate:

Will you be pumpkin carving or buying Halloween treats this year?Never been a fan of Halloween, always regarded it as an American tradition popularised here by traders hoping to cash in - and I don't think I'm wrong!ViewDate:

Do you feel that freedom of speech is becoming restricted in the UK?Too many people waiting to take offence, either on their own behalf or on behalf of someone else (whether they are acquainted with them or not). Too much adherence to political correctness from the top down!ViewDate:

Are you a 'Silver Streamer'?Watch a mixture of both. With the amount of drivel and repeats (under the banner of "another chance to see") that is being broadcast currently having access to programmes we have missed is invaluable.ViewDate:

Should the Proms be stripped of its favourite vocals?Shouldn't be stripped of it's vocals, it's a tradition that many, many people here in Britain love and should not be dispensed with just to appease others. The answer is "If you don't like it don't watch".ViewDate:

Will you be downloading the new tracing app today?Phone too old to load app. Not shelling out hundreds of pounds just to download this. If they want me to use it they must make it available on my current phone or pay for a newer one. Otherwise I'll just regard it as a cynical ploy to get us with older phones to upgrade - at great expense!ViewDate:

Should Dominic Cummings resign?What self respecting person would not do what Dominic Cummings did to protect his partner and child, even if it meant breaking the rules. This has been overblown and turned into a witch hunt by the left wing media, including the Left's unofficial mouthpiece the BBC. Funny they've never mentioned the four Labour MPs who have flaunted the lockdown rules!ViewDate:

Are Harry and Meghan making the right decision?The way it is playing out appears to be a re-run of Edward and Mrs Simpson. Wait and see!ViewDate:

Is 7-years-old too young to give children a mobile phone?Absolutely. Giving them a phone at that age is robbing them of a proper childhood. Instead of getting involved in more creative events they spend their free time gazing into their screens. Plus there's the danger of accessing improper content.ViewDate:

Is it time for a woman to play 007?The clue is in the name - JAMES Bond, and James being a man's name should be played by a man!ViewDate:
23rd May 2020honestjohn commented on:
Should noisy snacks be banned from the cinema?Annoying when people eat noisily in a cinema but these are probably the items that there is the most mark up on for the proprietors. Worst still on a couple of occasions I have sat near people eating some cooked food which smelled foul - judging by the smell I wouldn't have fed it to next door's dog!ViewDate:

Should we rule out imported chlorinated chicken from the USA?We should let our feelings be known on this subject but if they are ignored we still have the ultimate weapon in our hands - leave it on the shelves! They'll soon stop trying to foist it upon us when it's costing THEM money!ViewDate:

Is it realistic to expect over 70s to remain in their homes for 4 months?I am in my late seventies and am quite happy to self isolate if it means I get a few more years on this earth with my loved ones. Can't understand people railing against the regulations - they could be saving your life for goodness stake. I realise people on their own might find it difficult but better to be safe than sorry!ViewDate:

Is it sensible to allow specified year groups back to school?Think if any children should return it's those aged 15 and 16+ who will shortly be taking exams that could impact on the rest of their lives. Taken that the average length of education is 11 years this group has less than 10% of its time left, whereas 5 & 6 year olds have 90% remaining - sufficient for them all to make up for lost time. Missing three months at the lower end of the age range is hardly a tragedy as children are very resilient and will comfortably catch up.ViewDate:

Win a Holiday for Two to Canada for Your Nominated NHS Worker!I nominate my son Phillip, a theatre technician at the local hospital, although not in direct contact with coronavirus care, sometimes working twelve hour shifts to allow others to do so. He and his wife Helen deserve a decent holiday.ViewDate:

Win a pair of tickets to Australia with Qantas!Great prize and would enable my wife and I to fulfil one of our dreams to see her cousin in Oz.ViewDate:

Should the Jeremy Kyle show be dropped?This shows, and others like it, are just modern day voyeurism where the viewing public revel in the misfortunes of others. What amazes me is why these people go on TV to "air their dirty washing" in public which I can only think is to get their faces on TV and their 15 minutes of fame. Kyle should be ashamed at himself, making money out of misery, but he won't be because people who do this have no shame!ViewDate:

Has the public lost interest in Christmas adverts?I hate adverts at any time (if possible I record programmes on commercial channels on my PC, edit the adverts out and watch them at a later time), but each Christmas we seem to be bombarded by them earlier and earlier - mostly for overpriced goods that we wouldn't normally buy. Don't fall for it - let the traders waste their money!ViewDate:

Should Britain stay in the EU or is now the time to leave?David Cameron stated in the run up to the referendum that if the vote was in favour of "out" he would initiate Article 50 the following morning. Instead he spat his dummy out, resigned and went scuttling off to the back benches. Just shows how much you can trust politicians!ViewDate:

Do you mind the gap?This is simply a price rise! You are in fact getting less Toblerone for the same price! Another example of how sneaky big businesses can be!
