Should there be a specified age to retake your practical driving test?I wonder how many drivers over the age of 70 would actually pass their driving test now. Regarding Prince Phillip being blinded by the sun, that can happen to a driver no matter what their age.ViewDate:

Will you be stocking up on provisions for post-Brexit?We did alright before we joined the common market now known as the EU. Should we ever manage to leave the damn thing I’m sure we will be just fine.ViewDate:

Should a gingerbread man become a gingerbread person?I was under the impression that some engineering tools were referred to as male or female. What would the politically correct brigade like to rename these.ViewDate:

Should we have a second EU referendum?No. Think we should get out, stay out and put an end to being dictated to by Brussels. The majority vote was to leave and the MPs should respect that.ViewDate:

Are shirtless pictures of Poldark sexist double-standards?Yes Lionel. Agree about differing musical tastes. My late husband was a huge and I mean huge Bob Dylan fan, never could understand his music. Give him his due he tolerated Cliff and my other dreamboat Johnny Mathis and we have been to several Cliff concerts and have lost count of the times we have seen Johnny in concert. On the rare occasion Dylan came to Britain my husband would go to see him and i have lost count of the many bootleg recordings he managed to obtain. Simon and Garfunkel was another firm favourite with bridge over troubled waters a firm favourite. My husband passed away suddenly 7yrs ago but his huge Dylan records, dvds and book remain firmly in place no way are they going anywhere soon.ViewDate:

Do Millennials deserve £10K for doing nothing?Really cross this evening. Have just watched ambulance on the telly. How on earth can the powers that be suggest millennial be given £10k when ambulances are queuing with their patients on board because they haven’t got the room in the hospital to admit them. Somebody somewhere needs to get their priorities right.ViewDate:

What goes on first - the jam or the cream?Sorry Wilf. Lived in Devon/Cornwall for seven years, only ever seen the jam go on first. Delicious whichever way you prefer though. Best scones I had were at Lanhydrock so they are forgiven.ViewDate:

Do you use an open fire or wood burning stove?Lived in a barn conversion in a small village in Devon for seven years and the wood burner was a delight. The smell from all the other wood burning stoves in the village on a cold winters night was delightful. Wish that I was still there instead of sitting in front of a living flame gas fire.ViewDate:

How do you feel about giving money as a wedding gift?A few years ago my goddaughter got married. I received an invitation via a wedding agency they had employed. The invitation stated that the happy couple didn’t want presents but would like contributions towards a dream holiday. I found this rather impersonal especially as I was only invited to the evening party some 100miles away and which I would have to make my own way there. Never the less I did sent a cheque but with a very heavy heart. It was some 6 months later I eventually received a thank you note enclosed in a Christmas card.ViewDate:

Do you support the idea of a bridge spanning the English Channel?In theory a good idea for getting to the continent quicker. In practice, what a target for someone wishing to cause death and destruction on a bridge.ViewDate:

Are you offended by the Greggs Christmas Advert?Guessed as much Alexander. 78years would have been an awful long time to be in trouble. Being a vegetarian sausage rolls will not be on my plate at Christmas.ViewDate:

Are you offended by the Greggs Christmas Advert?Would have found the advert less offensive and more humorous had the three wise men been offering the baby in the manger a sausage roll. Christians will turn the other cheek regarding this advert. Other religions would not be so forgiving.ViewDate:

Do you call him Santa Claus or Father Christmas?It was always Father Christmas for me. My mom used to tell me he came in a large black taxi in the dead of night ( from Lewis’s department store of all things). The funny thing was I still put a carrot and mince pie out. Maybe the driver was a reindeer. Wish mom was still alive so I could ask her.ViewDate:

Meet Moz the monster who stars in this year’s John Lewis Christmas adSorry no Christmas tingly feeling with this ad. Think M & S has beaten them hands down this year. Even the Aldi carrot ad is better. Just my opinion though.ViewDate:

Should all stores introduce gender neutral changing rooms?I agree with what you have said Lynnette. Unfortunately with all this political correctness we are supposed to observe and it’s seems to changing daily, I think before long it will be the rest of us that are in the minority.
