Will you still buy mohair, cashmere, silk and feather products?I'm 100% with you on that. I was an international journalist based in Brussels for 25 years, Those people and organisations - including politicians - that made the most noise were always the ones that had the least ideas of the facts! It was ever thus!ViewDate:

Will you still buy mohair, cashmere, silk and feather products?Love it! I am getting shorter! I used to be 5'7"... but last check-up said 5'4.5" - so maybe that's where my 2.5"inches have gone. And the fact that they don't appear to measure me in the same way! When I was young I was considered VERY tall. Now I'm a shortie! My late brother was 6'4.5" in his youth. And like most tall men, married a girl barely 5' tall. I spent most of my working life in Brussels, where I was known as "the tall English girl" - but feel a lot of this was my love of stilettos! Life can be unkind sometimes. There have been moments when I have been horizontally challenged - but mainly around the bum! Loved those Belgian frites!ViewDate:

Will you still buy mohair, cashmere, silk and feather products?I so agree - but when the elastane loses its elasticity??? Face lift???? No, I am not rich, but look after my clothes - some of my cashmere is well over 20 years old! It is getting difficult now to find even cotton T-shirts for women, too. My previous sources, such as the supermarket chains which had nice designs at £5 or under, appear to be all viscose and elastane - there is nothing more unforgiving!ViewDate:

Will you still buy mohair, cashmere, silk and feather products?Jeanmark, I don't have problems with fine botany wool or merino, but what is marketed as "lambswool" makes me itch as does mohair. Never have a problem with cashmere but always hand wash it with special cashmere shampoo. I cannot use biological washing products either. Love linen, but can't wear it in very hot or humid countries as it does not "breathe" - stick with fine cotton. Seem to be OK with viscose (rayon) mixtures, and cotton/bamboo mixtures too. And, happily, we now are able to buy cotton/silk and cashmere/silk mixtures. What really annoys me is that so many manufacturers are adding between 5 and 10% elastane to cotton.... Why??? Just so some lazy people don't have to iron it?ViewDate:

Will you still buy mohair, cashmere, silk and feather products?Ridiculous! I'm allergic to polyester and acrylics, and several of their related products. So I shall continue to keep warm in cashmere, wear cotton or silk in summer, and use my down and feather duvets. As to leather and fur, they were good enough for our ancestors several thousand years ago, and I shall continue to buy leather shoes, sheepskin boots, and avoid all "other materials".ViewDate:

The English question: What is the nation's identity?Actually, it's a bit more complicated than that, Wilf. You see, the Northern Irish aren't British! Great Britain consists of England, Scotland and Wales. The island of Ireland (South and North) is apparently part of the United Kingdom, but not Britain! That's why that stupid expression "Brexit" is meaningless... as is what it represents. Time to sort this misidentification out, don't you think?ViewDate:

The English question: What is the nation's identity?My passport is British, therefore that's what I am - despite the fact that I was born in England. Furthermore, I consider myself to be European, because that's also what I am. The United Kingdom will always be part of Europe, even when/if it is not a member of the EU. It's a pity so many of its inhabitants appear to have no idea about their nationalities!ViewDate:

Would you like to see same-sex couples dancing on Strictly?Same sex couples are receiving too much coverage in the media as it is. I am fed up with it. Could we have some coverage for white, heterosexual, octogenarian, disabled spinsters living on a very small pension please????
