Spelling mistakes - should these be pointed out on social media?Spelling is important, but so are manners. Probably more so.ViewDate:

Would you support the MPs call for over 40s to pay a social care premium?You could argue the same for the smokers who are given all sorts of things to stop smoking, or the fatties who are given gastric bands, or the drug addicts who are given whatever they are given to stop drug taking. These prescriptions/ treatments are preventative. In other words to stop or prevent their health declining. The same can be argued for social care, they require "looking after" to prevent their health declining. If this means more tax then that bill should be distributed equitably.ViewDate:

The NHS is in the business of looking after peoples health, and the activities included in social care are about looking after peoples health. The current arrangements for social care and this fixation with fleecing the elderly of their life savings and property is quite frankly scandalous.ViewDate:

Does knowing your times tables really matter these days?Those who know me, can certainly testify that I am no Maths genius, and I take the point of the convenience of the calculator, but I think it is important, it's fun and helps keep the mind agile. If you are bartering, or negotiating the price of something, are you seriously going to pull out a calculator?
