Would you ‘Bung a bob for a Big Ben bong’ on Brexit night?The cost is extortionate. That amount of money would be better used helping people in need, not clanging a bell that only a few can actually hear live.ViewDate:

Is the greeting 'Ladies and Gentlemen' out of date?The world has got politically correct madness. Between wanting to be famous for 5 minutes. Wanting equality in everything, self obsession, greed, suing culture,prolific dishonesty, and lack of basic good manners and care for our fellow man. It is a sad place to live these days.ViewDate:

How would you solve the NHS crisis?I would set up a an investigation to all the overpaid fat cats and penpushers who are on ridiculous salaries at the expense of the NH and get rid of them. People using A&E as a Dr's surgery for minor ailments should be Charged £20 for treatment, and people with alcohol and drug addiction should be turned away unless it is life threatening. It is their choice to get in that state in the first place and the NHS should not have to be held responsible for their lack of discipline. I would stop the methadone programme, that is just a substitute and does not break the habit and is costing the country a fortune. I would legalise drugs. Thus getting rid of drug barons and let the addicts get on with it. As I said before it is their choice. I would try to employ more nursing stagg, this in turn would reduce the ridiculous pricing by companies supplying bank nurses. It s time to stop this softly, softly, regime and get tough again.ViewDate:

Will you be sending Christmas cards this year?I make my cards and hand deliver them to my friends. I totalled up what I was spending on cards and stamps and was horrified at the cost. I no longer send cards, Hower the money I would have spent now gets donated to feed the homeless a hot meal on Christmas Day.ViewDate:

Should the FA defy the poppy ban?We must not be seen to be dictated to by a bunch of crooks. Our men and women laid down their lives for us for our freedom, and we must honour them. Every man,woman, and child should wear a poppy, the deserve nothing less.ViewDate:

Should The Great British Bake Off remain with the BBC?As with everything else in this materialistic world, greed plays the winning hand. It is a sad reflection, if it is true, that neither viewers or the presenting team get a say. I won't watch if it moves, as I hate adverts with a passion, and hate all my programmes cursed with the white music in the background.ViewDate:

The ListI was made redundant at 69 and was devastated, I loved working as a waitress in a tearoom. However I adjusted and got used to my sedentary life while my hubby still worked. We planned long haul holidays and more time with our kids in Oz. My hubby retired and we went for 6 months to visit the family. I loved every minute of it and was sad to return home . My husband was like a bear with a sore head. Bored witless and not saying very much. One day he went for a walk and when he came back he was grinning from ear to ear. "I have got a job" the change in him is amazing. He has a spring in his step. We have more money supplementing our pension and yes the holidays are curtailed. But I am happy he is happy. We can work holidays in round his shifts albeit a week to ten days. One day he will need to stop working, but he has no plans for that, he is living one day at a time, and so am I.ViewDate:

Are you happy to pay for your shopping bags?I am more than happy to pay for a plastic carrier in a supermarket, that was the plan, to cut down trash on the planet. However in my humble opinion things have been taken to an extreme, and I object strongly having to pay 5p for a paper carrier bag to transport clothes that I have purchased, or for food wrapped in paper bags. I was charged 5p for a paper bag to wrap a greetings card, I think that is outrageous and not what was intended when this whole scheme was set up.ViewDate:

Step back in time: to 1960I was 17 and I feel so lucky to have been a part of that great era. The music was brilliant, we had so many dance halls in Glasgow it was hard to choose. The clothes and style was fabulous. And we just had so much fun. Wish I could do it all again.ViewDate:

Outrage as Cadbury's owner changes Creme Egg recipeWhy oh why would you fix something that isn't broken? The obvious reason is cost and no regard for what the customer wants. We need to abstain from buying this year, that should do the trick. -
